John -

Go to cheapovegas.com to read detailed description of all the hotels.

I haven't stayed there myself but I do know that it's the worst possible location.

If you can, try to find something on one of the two main corners. Las Vegas Blvd. & Tropicana or LVB & Flamingo. This is where most of the action is.

Check out vegashoteldeals.com for rates.

I agree with Lynn. The Stratosphere is in a kind of a seedy area half way between downtown and the strip. In order to go anywhere, you must drive. While the distances aren't great, the traffic often is.

As the others said, stay away from it! It is way too far away from everything. You'd probably find that Treasure Island (WAY nicer, MUCH better location) can be a bargain. Most certainly you'd be better off at the Flamingo for a very simmilar price.

Contrary to the other posts, my wife and I spent three days at the Stratosphere in January and found it to be quite nice. We got a great deal thru the internet and paid $19 a night. The room was nice and their breakfast buffett was quite good. The Superstar Show is a bargain in Las Vegas and the look alikes were fabulous. We also ate dinner one night in the Top of the World revolving restaurant. It was very romantic and very expensive. The casino was large with plenty of nickel slots for us small time gamblers.
As far as being away from the rest of the strip, there is a shuttle that stops right in front of the hotel that will take you all the way down to the Luxor. Also, we never had a problem driving to the other resorts and using their free public parking garages. Hope this helped.

If you're into cheap stay downtown. So of the casinos are quite nice. The Golden Nugget for example. Lots of five cent slots. There's a lot more variety than at the Stratosphere. There's outdoor light show that's spectacular.
