    Interesting review. I’d like to mention that Sahara is like a 10 minute walk and from there you can get on the monorail that’ll connect you to the rest of the strip. I found this to be a great option especially during busy times and with the f1 congestion so getting around was pretty seamless. Also I found the atmosphere to be pretty nice and comfortable as well as the rooms. The new mini golf attraction is being built similar to top golf and it’ll attract lots of people. I really enjoyed our stay and would go back and found the remodel to be sufficient for a fresh fun vacay… Such an iconic property😊

    hi there! so the strat is beautifully renovated! love the casino, the restaraunts, and the pool. usally a very busy pool. i was suprised it was dead the day you were there..thanks for the great video though, enjoyed it very much. i hope you had a great time there!! btw, top of the world restaraunt is a must!!!! execellent food!! totally worth it!! the neighbor hood really isnt that bad!! we stayed at the beautiful sahara and walked to the strat many many times the week we stayed at sahara. day and night! strat has awesome machines that are not squeaky tight and will let you play without draining your wallet.. anyhow, we walked everywhere in that area and didnt have any issues in thsat area with the walk to the strat or to any of the other casinos!!!!...cheers

    • @UpUpOurWay
      @UpUpOurWay  Před 11 měsíci

      I agree that the casino is pretty great. They had all the games we like and it was never that busy. I think it may have been too early for the pool crowds. 😂 Glad you talked about walking to Sahara. Glad it wasn’t too bad.

    Thanks for this! Yes, some real pluses and minuses. I don't like thin walls as well. But there's a coffee machine. And I remember my first experience with a half shower door...yep, water all over the floor. But, for me, looks like a nice gym. And I believe a Deuce connection is right outside going both ways.
    It may be worth at least a try. One night to see how it goes. Thanks, you two.

    Great video, I always appreciate your honest reviews. I see their poster of the towers doesn't list our Canadian CN tower in Toronto which is 1,815 feet tall. We see the Strat and Sahara on Expedia for consistently low priced packages compared to other strip hotels but I think I would give this one a miss. I remember years ago visiting and riding on a roller coaster that went around the top of the tower.

    • @UpUpOurWay

    I stayed there a few years ago and was a solid choice if you’re not too uppity, I easily walked to the strip and never felt any funkiness in the area. I’m just a blue collar guy so perhaps I’m looking for more what I pay for not gold bars for pennies. Ubers were hella cheap to Fremont or other random spots we wanted to see but a 15-20min walk was fine for us to get to the strip and walked back middle of the night without even a thought of fear…only learned recently that it’s in “a bad part of town”. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    • @UpUpOurWay
      @UpUpOurWay  Před 5 měsíci

      It’s tough because for what you pay, you might stay somewhere right in the middle of the strip, like Harrahs, flamingo, or Linq.

    Wow, your room looks way nicer than mine at the same hotel. Was that a suite?? I got a regular king size bedroom. Perhaps there's some discrimination going on. My bathroom was AN ABSOLUTE DUMP, I'm not kidding, it literally looked like a ghetto hotel restroom. No ceiling fan, and not even a tub, just a shower. Not even a spot to put your shampoo. Only 1 trashcan, which is in the restroom, yeah that's right THEY ARE TOO CHEAP to even put a trash can in the actual hotel room! No fridge, no microwave, absolute garbage of a hotel.

    • @UpUpOurWay

      They remodeled some of their rooms and we were lucky enough to get into one of them. We had no iron which was odd! In Vegas many rooms won’t have a fridge and it’s rare to get a microwave. I can only imagine your room though. It’s not the best of hotels.
