The rooms and the hotel in general were very clean. The tower was amazing--easily the best view of the strip. The location has its pluses and minuses. It is definitely too far to walk to the main strip, but if you rent a car and you plan on getting out and about quite a bit, the location is great due to easy highway access and no strip congestion. The people... eh... not so good. They were not rude, but they could have been more helpful.
If I ever go back, I will avoid the "World II Tower" at all costs. I don't think I will stay in that thing if they try to drag me up to the room. The elevators to the tower were terrible and, everyday, during peak periods, I was stuck waiting forever and then riding in a packed elevator. Awful. Also, the room had no view... literally. The view out the window was of a wall about two feet outside the window.
The pools were shallow, but nice and not overly crowded. And the parking was great... very convenient and only a short walk to the inside of the hotel.
The price was quite good, but with the price, we got what we paid for too. Next time, I will definitely pony up the extra $10 per night to stay elsewhere, but this was still a good deal.

We were quoted a rate but upon check in they tried to tell us we needed to pay more even though we had paperwork with us. It took a a lot of our time to get them to straighten it out and had to call in the manager who was not too friendly. We still ended up having to pay more than the agreed upon rate. But with my daughter getting married the next day I did not have the energy to argue about the discrepancy. I was not about to let his arrogant attitude ruin my day and ended up just walking away and joining my family members who were staying at a different hotel.The room was ok, no frills..I could not get an internet connection in my room. It was clean and had a lot of room in it. We enjoyed the pool area and discounted ride tickets. Except for the billing error and management attitude,it was a nice stay.

We were very disappointed with the hotel. The good thing was the price of the room and the buffet deals but everything else was a big mess. There was no minibar or fridge in the room even we paid extra for the upgrade. The swimming pool area's music is so loud that impossible to be there. The room service menu is not good and very expensive. The cleaning was horrible, no soup, broken old towels and couple days no cleaning at all. The room was very dusty also. The location is the worst of all. We spent lots of money for the taxi to go to the main Strip area every day. I recommend you to book a hotel in the main Strip area even it is more expensive but you get what you pay for and you will experience the real Vegas life where everybody else is.

I booked my stay here on wotif.com for the bargain basement price of US$40 for a Saturday night, one night stay. I did get charged the resort fee on arrival, which I think was $8 - but in the grand scheme of things, this still made my stay affordable at under US$50.

I arrived just before midnight so check-in was very quick. Parking was easy in the self park and not as far away as some other casinos.

I arrived and drove straight down to catch the last Fremont St Experience show of the night, this was good - a very laid back vibe (the bar at Golden Nugget looked like fun). As it was quite late I found food options limited (true of everywhere in Vegas though) and ended up getting McDonalds.

I stayed in a standard room (didn't pay extra for the premium tower), and I thought room was very good. 2 queen beds which were very comfortable. Room was on the far side of casino and seviced by seperate elevators, just FYI as this wasn't a problem for me.
Everything was clean and worked, bathroom also (hairdryer provided).

I breifly went to the pool (adults only) on level 25, not particualrly fancy but good for some sunshine and relaxation. They did play rather loud music though which, at 10am, was a little much. This pool is optional topless (men have to pay an entry fee), there is another pool on level 8 for families.

Stratosphere is located right at the North end of The Strip, if you're aware of this you can plan accordingly - I stayed one night here, and spent it at Fremont St - then spent 2 nights in the centre of the Strip. This way of breaking up your time in Vegas is udeful in cutting taxi/bus costs and walking time.

My stay was absolutely fine, no problems at all.
