THE STRAT HOTEL, CASINO & TOWER
About the Castle Hotel
The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower, Las Vegas - Iconic Heights and Enduring Thrills
The STRAT stands as a unique fixture on the Las Vegas Strip, a landscape defined by bright lights and bold performers. While the obvious appeal lies in its towering presence and the gateway it offers to the Vegas skyline, the property has undergone significant updates, including refreshed bars, restaurants, and a modernized casino floor, aiming to solidify its place amidst the city's ever-evolving entertainment offerings.
Location
Positioned on the northern end of the Las Vegas Strip, The STRAT places guests within a flurry of activity, though it requires a short journey to reach the heart of the Strip's renowned nightlife and attractions. Directly adjacent to the hotel, the iconic SkyPod tower, standing at 1,149 feet, offers immediate access to unparalleled panoramic views of the Las Vegas valley. Proximity to landmarks like SLS Las Vegas and the Stratosphere Tower itself (0.3 km away) means a significant portion of the city's allure is easily accessible, with convenient options for taxis and rideshares.
Style and Character
The STRAT's design, particularly the SkyPod, evokes a sense of space-age futurism with its simplistic yet striking structure, resembling a massive teeter-totter or a roller coaster unlike any other. While the casino floor has been updated, the overall atmosphere leans towards energetic and classic Vegas rather than intimate luxury. The new additions, such as PT's Wings & Sports with its urban vibe and local art, hint at an evolving character, aiming to infuse contemporary touches into the established framework.
Service and Facilities
The STRAT offers a broad spectrum of amenities designed for entertainment and leisure. The casino floor hums with energy, featuring 750 machines and 44 tables with high-energy games. For a different kind of entertainment, the resort-style family pool on the 8th floor provides a spacious setting with oversized hot tubs, cabanas, and a café. The SkyPod, while requiring a fee for access to its observation deck and rides, is the undeniable centerpiece, offering thrilling experiences. For private events, PT's Wings & Sports presents a state-of-the-art Beer Hall accommodating up to 200 guests with a customizable LED wall. Check-in, while managing significant demand, is handled efficiently by pleasant front desk staff.
Rooms
The STRAT offers a range of room categories, from the standard Elite guest rooms, featuring contemporary décor, 55-inch HDTVs, and mini-refrigerators, to more spacious Stratosphere Select rooms with luxury bedding and work areas. For those seeking more room, the 1-bedroom suites provide separate living areas with dining tables and enhanced amenities. All rooms are equipped with essential comforts such as air conditioning, complimentary Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs. While the décor is generally modern and functional, personal preference might lean towards the more refined finishes found elsewhere on the Strip.
Food and Drink
Dining at The STRAT offers a diverse array of options. The award-winning Top of the World restaurant provides a fine dining experience in an elegant atmosphere, with the unique feature of revolving 360 degrees every 80 minutes, offering unparalleled views of the city. For more casual fare, McCall's Heartland Grill aims for comfort food like one might find back home, featuring steaks, seafood, and pasta. CHĪ Asian Kitchen presents a variety of traditional dishes in a street-inspired interior, while Nunzio's Pizzeria offers both by-the-slice and whole pies. For a unique blend of golf and entertainment, Atomic Golf provides an immersive, technology-enhanced experience. Guests can also quench their thirst at PT's Wings & Sports with two dozen craft beers on tap, including house brews, or enjoy drinks at 108 Eats and 108 Drinks on the 108th floor. Starbucks is also available for coffee and pastries.
Value for Money
The STRAT presents a compelling value proposition, particularly for those prioritizing access to high-thrill attractions and expansive views. The cost of accessing the SkyPod observation deck and rides is separate from accommodation, which is a key consideration. However, the range of dining options, the casino experience, and the unique entertainment attractions like Atomic Golf contribute to a comprehensive entertainment package, especially for travelers looking for an all-in-one destination on the Strip.
Accessibility
While specific details regarding adapted rooms or comprehensive accessibility features are not extensively detailed in the provided information, The STRAT is a large resort complex. Standard amenities such as elevators are available to access most areas, including the SkyPod. Those with specific accessibility needs are advised to contact the hotel directly to ensure their requirements can be met.
Family-Friendly
The STRAT caters to families with its resort-style pool on the 8th floor, featuring oversized hot tubs, cabanas, and a café. The inclusion of Atomic Golf, a premier golf entertainment destination, also offers a family-friendly activity. While the casino and thrill rides are geared towards adults and older children, the overall environment, combined with a variety of dining options, can accommodate family stays. The hotel's location, while not in the immediate center of the Strip, provides a distinct experience for families seeking entertainment beyond the typical resort offerings.
