Wow! 😳 The Strat looks nicer than I was expecting, but the vacuuming at night and the front desk agent's attitude are complete turn offs. Thank you for the tour! 🙂

[@ShowMeVegas]

Thanks as always for watching!

[@scottrunnels3958]

I've made that walk many times. As a local it's not as bad as most describe. Just pay attention to your surroundings!

[@T.Justus]

Exactly. I stayed nearby and I had no problem. The hotel is actually nice. Never been in the rooms though

[@South40Slim]

I stayed at Strat twice before the rebrand. Rooms were nice. Suites were excellent. The problem was the distance to the rest of the strip. I stay downtown now.

[@chrisguardiano6143]

Great video Jordan. I remember staying at the STRAT for my 8th grade spring break Vegas trip back in 2009 in what would be considered the older rooms today & found it to be okay. I also remember really enjoying the rides at the top & the observation deck. When it comes to location, I absolutely agree with you that it is in a bad location & definitely an area that is isolated from the rest of the Strip. I also agree with you that the STRAT offers good value for the money & the renovated rooms look great. Lastly another thing people may not know about the STRAT is that it is one of two hotels on the Strip (with Casino Royale being the other) that is part of Best Western meaning you can get Best Western Rewards Points for staying there.

Good job Jordan. We always enjoyed our visits to the Strat. In my opinion has the best viewing area for all of Vegas. The remodel is on point. Great place to gamble but like you said the smoke can be bad. Made a wrong turn out of self park and within seconds we knew we might be in trouble. Thankfully it was hammer down and got out of that neighbourhood

[@paulgerrard9227]

Strat is where new visitors go to realise nobody else stays. They tack on hefty fees for the fact its a tower and a long way from everything in a real shady part of town. It always seems empty and...dead like a 80s mall nobody goes to anymore. Factor in extra travel time and costs and paying for any view and far more for rides etc. its nowhere near shopping, food or attractions. I would barely recommend a visit not a stay

[@AlistairKiwi]

I go to Stratosphere every visit to Las Vegas for sunset at the rotating restaurant. Sunset is lovely from up there.

[@davidbox146]

Great video Jordan! I visited Vegas World when Bob Stupak was running things and it looks like everything is a lot nicer than the Vegas World scene. It was one of the first casinos to offer "crapless craps" which is about as good a deal for the player as triple zero roulette! The Stratosphere is on my bucket list thanks to your presentation! I appreciate your high quality videos and the hard work you put in order to "Show Us Vegas!"

My husband and I stayed there in October, and we loved everything about it, except for the half shower like you stated. Top of the World is expensive, but you get 20% off if you are staying at the Strat. We spent $378 after our discount. The portions are large. We could have shared our food. We're going back in January.

Interesting. It must not have been that day I was there, probably because the other pool was closed.

[@ericsnickars3647]

I stayed there for 5 nights back in March, and it was pretty awful all around. No wifi worth speaking of, so if you have any sort of work to perform, you're out of luck. Anybody can access the elevators -- you don't need a room key and, consequently, there are coupons being shoved under your door multiple times of day/night. Crappy neighborhood all around -- maintain your senses walking towards the Strip. Floors reek of marijuana, but this is not uncommon for really low-end motels. I tried to take the free shuttle to Fremont twice, but it did not show up for service. (I did see it though, and it's a van with a piece of paper taped to the windhield that identifies it as the free shuttle.) The crowd seems pretty cool, and I did enjoy the vibe on the casino floor. No food offerings worth mentioning though.

[@ShowMeVegas]

Not sure what was going on that day but the downtown loop has legitimate busses. I planned to take it to Fremont after I checked out but there were too many people waiting. One bus left and another one pulled up right behind it. The busses hold 20 or so passengers and are completely wrapped in downtown loop graphics. I did get a pizza flyer underneath my door and I forgot to mention that in the video because I hate it when hotels just let anyone roam the halls.

[@lesterine77]

How do you expect people to get access to the roof and the rides if they don't have key cards? That complaint is a little silly don't you think? Nevermind the fact most hotels don't require a key card to use the elevators. And when someone's first complaint is nonsense, it makes that person unreliable.

[@mikejrexec]

​@@lesterine77 Every hotel in Vegas I have ever stayed in required a room key for the elevator. Keeps out the rif raf.

[@mmasque2052]

I never visited or stayed at the Strat or it’s predecessor, Bob Stupak’s Vegas World in any of my trips to Vegas. Never had an interest to and, back when it was being built, I knew a girl who was a Vegas native and I heard all manner of horror stories regarding its construction. (Stupak was cheap, hired architects with no experience building towers, let alone one that tall. Changed construction firms about midway through. Materials were understrength and just plain weak. A fire on the construction platform as it was being built…) Stupak had financial problems and had to get financial help, who ended up buying him out completely either just before or just after it opened. All in all, it seemed like a good place to avoid.

[@ericB3444]

Sounds like a regular field carnival on the roof. That’s nice and exciting.

Stayed at the Strat a few times, and since the rebrand/refurb it’s actually very nice, good casino bars, one having live entertainment at weekends. The location is remote to other hotels on the Strip, there is a Deuce bus stop outside the hotel which helps. The neighbourhood is not great, but honestly never had any problems the homeless around the area have never caused me a problem when I have been waiting for the bus or walking back to the hotel. The real problem with the hotel is the check in process, long wait times, unhelpful staff and always understaffed. I’ve actually stopped staying at the Strat for that reason and now always stay Downtown.

[@TheYangban5]

I lived in Vegas when the Strat was built. 3 quick stories: 1 Vegas World was a dump, full of a maze of the most smoke stained mirrors ever. I walked into them twice. 2. I remember the night the Strat Tower caught fire. I lived in a condo across the parking lot from one of the local news anchors. We never talked except that night. I got out of my car the same time he got home. He ran across and asked if I saw what happened. The wooden frameworks left in the tower legs caught fire turning it into a 600 foot tall Roman candle. It did cure the concrete and make it stronger. 3. The local newspaper hated Stupak with a white hot hatred and most of Las Vegas did too. Every year the would take a Best and Worst of Las Vegas poll and Bob Stupak and the Stat would Win worse of in every category, even ones he didn’t qualify for. As soon as he sold the Strat it was the most beautiful building, best hotel, etc.

[@Chris_In_Texas]

19:48 Holy crap $75 for a buffet! 😮 I guess that is why I haven't been to vegas for a while. I can remember the good old 90's when it was $4.99 and the high end was $9.99 for the buffets. 😁

The Strat was our "go to" but now they charge for parking , which is another 'Con' you did not mention. Now we due our gambling on 3-day cruises, living in L.A. county the drive is shorter, food is included, we enjoy it more, it's more relaxed and it ends up costing less.

[@ShowMeVegas]

It's not really a con because everybody charges for parking. Most casinos make it relatively easy for a gambler to get the parking fee waived. Thanks for watching!

[@farview13]

I did the jump from the Strat years ago. Terrifying but once you step off the top platform it was so awesome. When I walk from the Strat, I make a beeline directly to Sahara. Then it's just monorail all day to get up and down the strip.

[@alexdaley7616]

FYI: More hotels are doing the half-enclosed shower because it's cheaper than constantly replacing shower curtains. Those glass walls are also much easier to clean than a shower curtain. And they let more light in which makes the shower feel slightly larger, which is helpful when you have a small bathroom.

I assume they no longer have a poker room there?

[@ashleighelizabeth5916]

It's worth noting that there is a free shuttle bus that has a stop at the Strat that goes to Fremont Street and to East Freemont (among other downtown locations). If the hotel were just a little tiny bit closer to The Sahara and the monorail it could be ideally located for somebody that wants to spend time on Fremont and the Strip. As it is though it seems like that would be just a bit out of reach.

[@ukcoasterlad]

Anyone remember Sisters steak house? 98% payout on $1 slots? Over 100% return on video poker, single zero roulette, and crapless craps (which someone has already mentioned). I also remember getting lots of static shocks from the railings on the ramp near Roxy's diner.

[@receilseymour7930]

Stayed at this hotel off and on for over twenty or so years.I never had problems day or night with crime. When the Hacienda was in existence, I stayed there and would WALK from there all the way to Fremont Street late at night ( around 2 or 3 am ) the entire length of the Strip just for the exercise without encountering ANY problems, even though the STRIP was almost completely empty in certain areas. Maybe I was lucky I guess, but back then the Strip nice ( the 90s-early 2000's ) The Strat back then was called The Stratosphere.. My room fee back then was around 15 to 25.00 and no extra fees except taxes...

You could of mentioned that the Stratosphere design was copied from the Spaceneedle, a Seattle icon still in use built for the 1962 Worlds Fair. The cartoon the Jetsons also copied that same design. However the Stratosphere is twice the height & reinforced with concrete because to build it out from all steel would have been much more expensive. Reenforced concrete was the inexpensive price due to wind & structural requirements.

hi bud, great video!! we do our vacations in vegas every year and we stop in at the strat every year as well and do the top of the world!! its awesome!! the location of the strat aint the best but ive never had any issues walking there day or night. seriously, where is a safe place to walk in vegas other than the strip???? no where!! once you see the fountain's and the volcano, theres no need to walk anywhere else in vegas because all the good stuff is disappearing from the casinos. The biggest disappointment is mgm taking out the wizard of oz theme and replaced it with nothing...the empty space looks like crap there. . tresasure island ripped the pirate boat show out too......volcano show is now gone to.. so vegas is losing all the cool stuff it used to be known for. so who cares where your staying on the strip anymore. no need to walk anywhere now.... i now perfer the north strip now a days anyway. its much nicer. cheers
