    We stayed at the Strat a few times and always enjoyed it. The rooms were nice…once we were by the sky jump, quite a shock when I opened the curtains and a person went hurtling by! I too would recommend it and look forward to seeing the renovations. Pro tip: You can access the deck and visit level 107 lounge for free and skip the paying line to visit the deck.

      I think it’s too far down the street for most people even though it’s not far from downtown and arts District so theres stuff to do around it that’s not far I think it’s just the distance from Mid strip and the surrounding area that make ppl sleep on this property it’s a lot nicer then people give credit for and I think it’s a great property for couples

    Have never stayed at the Strat. Visited once back in the 1990's after it opened and went up to the top of the tower (they didn't have the rides yet, I think). The views were amazing!
    Can't believe they are charging parking to hotel guests. That's cray cray.
    Good to see they are updating. Hopefully it may help improve the area.

    I’ve stayed at The Strat many times. I’ve done Sky jump and all the other rides. The refurb of the pool looks good, the casino Remix bar has live music at the weekends too. The last time I stayed though the check in process was terrible, I stood in line for over an hour it was just so slow, the staff seemed to have to go off and speak to supervisors for everyone they were checking in. The other problem I encountered was that I had booked directly with the hotel and the price of the room included all taxes yet they were still trying to charge another $120 extra for no reason, also I booked a late check out for $25 was then told it was $50 due to the hotel being busy. Overall The Strat is a nice hotel but have decided to stay somewhere else when I go to Las Vegas in September because of check in lines and what feels is dishonest pricing.

    Thanks for the review ! The check in line and lines at the elevators are all I needed to see, no way I am going there, I don't go to Vegas to stand in lines. The Strat is so far on the end of the Strip it's a lot of walking, taxis or Uber's to get to mid strip where the action is. It is a 10 minute walk from the Strat to the Monorail station at Sahara, but its a sketchy area you don't want to be walking at night. They prices are reasonable but they need to be a lot lower to compensate for being in such an out of the way location so far from the rest of the Strip.

    Watching the view down strip, I realized something about the north strip and how it fits together. It represents the Future. The south strip references the Past with explicit concepts like Egypt, medieval England, ancient civilizations, while the north end of the strip has abstract curves of Resorts World red, complimented by Founteanbleu blue and abstract form of the MSG sphere, and of course space themed Strat.

I was just about to chicken out, and some lady in the elevator yelled at me and said, “get in here with the rest of us, if we have to do it, you do too.” So I went, lol.

All I remember is telling myself “just do it” the hardest part is everything leading to the jump. The jumpsuit you have to wear is not very comfortable for men if you get what I’m saying but overall a cool experience and I’d do it again if it wasn’t $100

    I walked by once back when it was Bob Stupak’s Vegas World. Never been in it.
    Around the time it was being built, i knew a girl who was a Vegas Native and i heard far too many horror stories about the construction such as Stupak lowballed everything, from an architect who had never designed a skyscraper let aline a tower, used the cheapest materials, there was a big fire in the tower while it was being built and, because of that, one of the legs is under-strength compared to the others. Stupak ended up having to bring in other investors and was either bought out entirely before or just after it opened.
    Stupak himself was a piece of work. He convinced his daughter to run for mayor. When asked why she was running, she answered, and i quote, “Daddy promised me a trip to Paris if I won.” Since Paris Las Vegas wasn’t open yet, i assume she meant Paris France. Knowing Stupak, though, it would probably have been Paris, Ohio.
    So, yeah, never been yo the Strat, never wanted to go to the Strat.

    I’m surprised if they renovated the rooms they didn’t put in better beds. For the price even with the parking this is a good deal. A lot of high end hotels in big cities charge guests huge amounts for parking.

    Been to the Top of the World several times..besides being fun, the food was excellent and the view of the strip was fantastic. We also hit the legends show there twice I think...each time was wonderful...definitely got our money worth. Never did the rides but boy a lot of people did. Never stayed there...always too far down on the strip. Interesting to see it's still kind of secondary because the place was pleasant in its own right

    Gosh just to think....back in the early 90's my boyfriend at the time wanted to stay and play cards. I was freezing cold (had a skimpy dress on and heels) I ended up WALKING back to the Mirage at 1:00 am and I didn't realize how much danger I was in. There were some VERY shady area's enroute and pimp looking guys cat calling as I walked by them. My feet were so sore I took off my heels and I had nylons on. Yes....back then ya dressed for even gambling. I look back on that time and think how my guardian angels were definately with me. Thanks for the tour guys.

      @@TurnItUpWorld Thank you for responding. I am marathon watching you guys. I have to say that I think it was far more dangerous in the early 90's because there weren't as many hotels...there was boards where hotels were going but that is where the shady guys were all lined up and I had to walk past them. Then there would be an empty area very dark looked like an alley and I had to walk past a few of them. Not many people walking at that end of the strip either. I was scared, walked fast and couldn't wait to get to the more populated area. Seemed like it took forever. I just watched the "worst hotel" segment and I must recommend that you guys bring a hand held black light with you to check bedding at ALL hotels. That would be interesting to see.

    I stayed in a Blvd King Suite last night (11-16-23) - rm 10-046. Great location in the hotel - close to the bar, sportsbook, and gift shops. The room came with a fridge (large chunk of melting ice inside - did not use) a coffee pot and four coffee pods with powdered creamer and sugar), the iron was hooked to the ironing board in the closet, with a safe, and no hair dryer in the bathroom. My room faced the tower, and I could not see any of the Strip.
    A roman tub in the bathroom (which was dirty and dusty) and there was a stand up shower with built in bench, more than enough shampoo/conditioner/body wash/lotions than one person could possibly use, and towels for days. The bed was comfortable, but the leather headboard had been written on with black marker and was hidden by the four super fluffy pillows, and the top of the headboard was very dusty. The couch was old and worn, and not comfortable to sit on. The USB plug on one side of the bed (where the phone was located) didn't work, the other side did, so there was only 2 USB ports available in the room.
    In the living room, there were no outlets (one was hidden behind the heavy couch), except for the two plugs in a lamp on the cabinet that surrounded the fridge (also 1 of the 2 working USB ports). The red chairs had seen better days, and there was something black and sticky on the seat of one of them. The marble floor in the bathroom looked like it hadn't been mopped in a few stays, and the carpet was musty and old. There is no smoking in any of the rooms. There was ketchup (I hope) splattered on the wall by the desk, which housed the coffee pot and had a decent office chair to sit on, though it was showing its age pretty well.
    There were two thermostats in the room, which kept the room a very comfy 70 degrees. There are few channels on the tv, but, they do offer CZcams, Pandora and Netflix, so make sure you have your passwords handy if you want to use them. There is a section on the tv for ordering room service, but it was "Temporarily Unavailable", and the number on the phone to dial Room Service, rang busy, so no room service. The dining table and four chairs are in the bedroom section, and to me, that was strange. I would have preferred it to be in the living room portion, would have made more sense. There was no pen or paper, or bible, so bring your own, and the only magazine was a current one - Las Vegas, F1 edition.
    I arrived at the hotel at 9:30, and even though check in wasn't until 3 pm, I was able to leave my bag at the bell desk and have it delivered to my room once I was allowed in, at 2pm. I was not charged for early check in. In the beginning of your video, you mentioned the long check-in - there is a self check in, which I used, and it was all of 2 minutes wait... Don't go to the main check in - all you need is your drivers license or passport, you scan it, it prints your keys, and you are done, and if you need help, there is an attendant there, the entire time, to help you.
    I paid to go to the observation deck - 10 am is when it opened, and there was no wait. Take quarters for the outside portion of the observation deck so you can use the view finders. I recommend going during the day and at night, and the pass you buy is good for all day, so go twice if you can. The pool was closed.
    McDonald's was dirty, food was nasty and super greasy, and there were gnats flying around. I don't recommend eating there. Everyone was super polite and friendly, however, there are very pushy people (at two different places) who will try their hardest to sell you a timeshare. Keep walking and ignore them. Nothing is FREE in VEGAS.
