We stayed here since I booked everything through Travelocity.  It was only $45 a night so I couldn't say no.  If I was in Vegas for vacay I'd recommend staying at the Bellagio or Mandalay Bay but I was ust cruising through and only gambled until 5:30am.  Ha.  Stratosphere wasn't that bad it just had a cheesy Casino and I didn't feel lucky there so we went to gamble at the Mandalay.  Still not very much luck but didn't really lose anything either.  The front desk sai that depening on how busy the rest of the strip is the same hotel room can go from $40/night to $400/night.  Glad it was a random Wednesday wit not much going on in town.  \n\nOur room came with free ticket rides and a ride to the top of the tower but we didn't have the time to mess around.  It was back on the road and another 9 hours to CA.  \n\nOh one nice thing was that there is a parking lot across the street afiliated with the Stratosphere and there is always a security guard on the premises.  Although I couldn't park my car in the parking garage since I had a baby Uhaul (5' by 8') attached to my hip I had to park at the other lot.  Glad they had that option though, otherwise it would have been stuck in a bioch parking situation since they wouldn't let me valet.
