I was in Vegas a couple weeks ago. I saw some shows, and went to a bunch of casinos. I heard Stratosphere was a bit run down but I was pleasantly surprised when I got there. They had a great Italian restaurant!! The casino was very clean and my buddies had a blast learning to play Craps... even though we didn't win. Lots of fun machines to play there too. Also, the show we saw at 1030 there was great.
