Mavens Overview
Unfortunately for the Stratosphere, the mantra:"Location, location, location" works against this property. At the extreme North end of the Strip and situated in its own mini no-mans land, although the Sahara is nearby, as is Circus-Circus, the true North end Strip properties. This lack of desirable location does lead to better room rates, and generally superior odds on the games, when compared to the rest of the strip.
Internet Buzz
The main buzz is poor location, but many folks rave about the "good room rates" that seem to outweigh this criticism.
Hotel Overview
Rooms start at 340 sq ft and slowly inch up in size from there. As with most mid to lower middle strip properties, if room amenities and ambience is important to you, ask for a recently upgraded room. Room level variations seem endless with 6 standard types plus 8 suite levels.
