The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower

Adeeba Raheem

We stayed at the STRAT for New Year’s, and overall it was a very comfortable and pleasant experience. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-maintained, giving us plenty of room to relax after long days out on the Strip. One thing we really appreciated was the self-check-in kiosks. The process was quick and efficient, and we didn’t have to wait at all. It easily saved us 30–40 minutes, which is pretty typical at large casino hotels (especially around New Year’s) so that was a big plus and helped us start our trip stress-free. The hotel’s location is another thing to note. Since it’s the first hotel on the Strip (Northside), it’s a bit far from the main hustle and bustle. The upside is that it feels calmer and less chaotic, but the trade-off is a 30-40 minute walk to reach the more happening areas of the Strip. Depending on your plans, this can either be a peaceful bonus or something to plan around. Parking was plentiful and convenient, though it does come at an additional cost of $20 per day. Overall, considering the comfort, cleanliness, and smooth check-in experience, especially during a busy holiday, it was a good value for the price we paid.

I was told the hotel was recently renovated, but it looks like a lot of the spaces were given the landlord special. The main casino floor is so nice, but in the corridors the carpet was loose and bunched up in spots. Wasn’t that big of a deal until I left my room in my heels, then it got a little interesting. I also was not satisfied with the cleanliness of the rooms. On the wall next to the sink there were toothpaste splashes and the floor in the bathroom was very hairy and dusty. The towels sucked, minimal size choices and the largest one is not for a body lol. Our shower also didn’t drain well so showers had to be quick. The wallpaper by the window was so messed up too, it just felt kinda cheap. I will say the staff was great, someone helped my friend find a thermometer for her daughter and everyone was so nice. The tower was super cool and the bar up there is neat. The elevator ride up the tower was a little scary to be honest, it’s so face and you can feel it just beating against the sides.

Check in was smooth and room was pretty decent size but the shower was horrible. The shower head came off the wall about 3 inches and had no adjustment to angle the water. You literally had to stand against the wall to get any water. Along with that the shampoo, soap, conditioner dispenser was mounted on the same wall. So basically as a 6’4 man I had to squat down against the lower wall to get water. The service in the hotel was mediocre at best. No meal vouchers for a 7 day stay, we also purchased the NYE party and didn’t receive any additional services. Parking was $20 dollars a day and probably should be included for longer stays in my opinion. The location was on the North side of the strip away from the main strip but decently located close to Fremont street which was great for the time we wanted to stay down there. Recommend staying at another hotel in the future if we go back.

Please if you can, avoid this hotel. I have had such a poor experience with the staff. I took a renovated room and paid extra for the service. The room is still dirty, dusty, old air conditioners that make plenty of noise, bed almost loose and about the break and everything old. They just tagged it as renovated. Also, I am an easy customer where I do not ask for much cleaning except, for clearing out the dustbins and since I had the queen beds asked to make one bed. This is with multiple reminders to clean my room. I generally don’t ask for house keeping services but from a hygiene purpose they atleast need to clear out the bins. They are charging heavy in the name of renovation and elevated room. Though I was away from the room, housekeeping did not clean the room and later when I returned and reminded for the service again, I was told I will not be serviced (taking out the waste) until I leave the room again. I returned to the room because I wasn’t keeping well. Constant reminders and them coming up with lame excuses and on the third day after 4 different reminders, I gave up. The hotel overall is also a disappointment. The lobby is smelling of smoke all the time and the observatory deck experience is also very underwhelming. Most of the coffee shops also close by 2pm. There is not one thing that was a wow factor. The fact that I need to beg everyday for them to maintain hygiene and give the customer a good room experience in general, shows their intent to serve customers well. Please don’t let your stay ruin your vacation. If you want a stress free experience, please avoid this place. Have a better experience elsewhere.

We had such a fun evening at The Strat last night! We started at the bar and played some video poker — our drinks were comped, and the cocktails were delicious. Matt, the bartender, was fantastic — super friendly and attentive. Then we headed up for dinner at Top of the World, and OMG… what an experience! The views were absolutely breathtaking, the food was exquisite, and the service was excellent. Truly one of those “wow” Vegas moments. After dinner, we stopped to get our player’s cards. The staff member helping us was kind and informative, offering great suggestions. We played a bit more video poker and tried a few slot machines. We didn’t walk out winners, but we had a wonderful time and felt entertained for hours. Overall, it was a lovely evening — great food, great drinks, and even better service. Highly recommend spending a night at The Strat!
