    The Strat is a bit of a trek from the main strip but the walk had its moments which I passed by some iconic chapels. The area was a bit sketchy. But really the whole Vegas experience was. Heading to the top was a cool experience, though the weather was not favorable at all. It was so cold that I could only be on the roof deck for a minute before dashing inside. The view was worth seeing. But having a private event taking up the best indoor spot was a letdown. Still, I tried to make the most of it. Now, if there's one thing they got right was the drinks. Easily the strongest I had in Vegas, which earned them some points in my book. Seating was limited...first come first serve, which meant a lot of the available spots were filled with families and kids. Little ones running around lose. Not exactly the vibe I expected. For the price, it feels a little steep considering it's an older attraction, but it's one of those bucket list Vegas experiences you do once and move on.

    We were there for two nights. Let's start from the parking lot , aesthetically was horrible the ceilings were full of shoe marks. People literally take the time to leave their shoe prints on every single lot level. Inside the Casino it seemed pleasantly clean and modern and so did our room upon arrival. As our day progressed we were regretting our booking with them. There was no ice in the ice machines. The customer service at the front desk, was useless. She said to just look for another machine. To find out none of the machines on our floor had ice. On a day where the degrees were 106 you would think they would be on top of their ice! Their blankets had HOLES on them. Here is your FIY, if you are spending the night they will not vacuum unless you request also their is no trash can in the room except for the restroom. They also do not validate your parking for your stay with them.

    My boyfriend and I went Saturday, October 2 arrived at 9pm ish. We got tickets from Groupon and got the unlimited rides. This was my first time here. Tbh, I never knew there were rides on The Strat! I've been in Vegas more than 10 times and never known. It was so confusing where all the rides were since there were no one lining up for rides. You have to go to different floor if you want to ride the Big Shot. But the other 2 rides (Insanity and X-Scream) , you can stay on the same floor. When we got there, there wasn't a lot of people. All the lines to the rides were so short. We didn't even wait long. One time, we got to do it again without leaving the seats because there were no one waiting in line. If you get dizzy or kind of dizzy, I DONT RECOMMEND INSANITY. Just don't! Everyone in our group, random people, said they wanted to throw up after the ride stopped. It was super dizzy!!!! Not worth it. If you want to try it, MAKE SURE ITS THE LAST RIDE YOU GO ON!! YOU DONT WANT TO BE DIZZY AND UNABLE TO GO ON OTHER RIDES. It was the longest line too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND X-SCREAM!!! Do it multiple times if you can!!! SIT IN THE FIRST ROW!!! Trust!!!! It's the scariest if you're in the first row. You see everything and everything on the bottom of the building. It's scary after the 2nd and 3rd time riding it!!! Since there weren't any people waiting, every time we went on it, we sat on the first row. Second best is the BIG SHOT! I got to ride it twice I think. It was fun! The first time was so scary!! All the rides were open when we were there. We saw the outside and inside deck. Parking is free!!! You can bring water bottle. There are snacks and drinks inside the deck but it's expensive.

    Booked the Strat Observation & 2 Thrill Ride Pass for $27.Observation was nothing special other than looking down the Vegas city with binoculars & the 2 Thrill rides Big Shot & X-Scream was lasted just over a minute so not great at all! And top of that found out from the staff that their ride cameras stopped working so can't even get the pics of my rides! Overall very disappointing !!!

    Waitress was very customer service oriented. Restaurant was clean. I was not impressed with my avocado toast. Coffee was good, prices are a bit steep.

    We went here initially for one ride, ended up getting unlimited rides for the whole day, all 3 rides. It was the best decision we've ever made (for that day). Unlike others, there barely any line for every rides. We tried the Big Shot, the Insanity, and something else.. I forgot the name. Everything was great except the Insanity, because it spins so fast that it made me and my husband super sick . The big shot was one of the thing that we did twice with no regrets. It was fun, enjoyable, and really cook place to visit!

    The strat thrill rides are so fun to go check out if you like getting on the big rides. So to start you have to pay 30 bucks to go to the top of the stratosphere. This is a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that by charging this prevents the place from being over crowded at the top. The bad thing is that you have to pay to go up and for each ride you get on. But your in vegas get used to spending money lol. When you are at the top there are roller coasters, and other scary rides for thrill seekers to ride. Theres also a little snack shop that sells chips, sandwiches and alcoholic drinks. So you can but something and sit on the sofas or tables and enjoy the view. The view from the top is amazing! You literally see all of Las Vegas, and its an amazing sight to see. Pros -You see las vegas -You can chill and relax Cons -You have to pay to go up

    Omg! I'll leave it at that! It's a must do if you come. We also took pictures while walking around the views are amazing. Drinks of course are a bit expensive, but worth it. It's a good time and memorable! They have snacks, cocktails etc at the top. The jumps , rides are crazy fun and daring

    -- A must-see while in Vegas! -- It's sooooo windy up here!!!! (As to be expected) It feels like you can see the entire state of Nevada from Big Shot! Unfortunately, when it gets this windy, they close down Big Shot specifically and only allow the other rides to operate. The ride in my attached photo was by far my favorite. The claw-arm spins you and 7 others out over the entire city.. IMPORTANT: they warn you but still, shoes.. sunglasses.. & phones can plummet to certain death so be careful. Try to plan on a day that's not so windy to enjoy the full experience!! :)

    Sooooo this was such an amazing experience and I wish I could give it a million stars BUT when we had our ticket time one of the rides were closed and unfortunately no one offered any type of compensation Or apologies Aside from that the rides are a blast (staff is serious and not fun tho) The bartender was amazing!!!!!! So check her out, the deli had a great sandwich Great spot for drinks, views, pics and adrenaline was def pumping This is a must see if ur in vegas 10/10 BUTTT call ahead and make sure the rides are open

I have gone axe throwing before, but I like the axe throwing better at this location because they offer a variety of games to play with your group. We played and enjoyed the zombie game the most. The only reason I gave the experience 4 stars and not 5 stars is because I wish we could have thrown items against the walls in the smash room, but we were confined to the table in the center.

They won't allow you to bring your phone or anything else in your pockets onto the ride. Staff actually check before you board, and if you have anything on you, they'll send you back to put it away. Luckily, there are lockers nearby for around $1, so storing your belongings is quick, easy, and inexpensive. We visited on a Friday night and purposely waited until it was dark so we could enjoy the views of the Las Vegas Strip while riding. We had purchased our tickets online ahead of time, which I highly recommend because it allowed us to skip the ticket line. Once inside New York-New York, the coaster was easy to find, and we only waited about 30 minutes to ride. As a plus-size woman, I was happy to find that I fit comfortably on the ride, which is always something I appreciate knowing before visiting an amusement attraction. It was over 100°F outside the night we rode, so flying through the loops, twists, and huge drops while getting blasted with warm desert air made for a pretty wild experience! I'll admit, I was a little terrified--the drops are much bigger than I expected, and I rode a good portion of it with my eyes closed. The ride itself is fairly short, but it's packed with excitement from start to finish. My teenager absolutely loved it, and even though it scared me a bit, I'm really glad we did it. If you're visiting Las Vegas with kids or teens, I'd definitely recommend adding the Big Apple Coaster to your itinerary.

Next thing you know, you're hurled left, then right - or maybe right then left - and up a little hill then into a CYCLONIC FUNNEL in a downward decent where you think you're done but then you hit a couple of parking lot speed bumps at maximum speed (more ass-banging) before you enter a dark tunnel where you think, "Oh God, what's next," but you get a quick glimpse into the casino right before the ride ends. Definitely a value (albeit it a different one) to the $25 cheeseburger, and more memorable than a t-shirt, just don't eat the burger before you board.

How can you go wrong with an electric powered vehicle that was designed for bumping into other cars? Well, head on collisions can really mess up your back, spine, or whatever other skeletal terms you wanna go by. That is why for this track you are only supposed to go in one direction. In this case, counter clockwise. Still you will have those people that either dont know how to drive or just wanna be idiots and bump into everybody or both. You must be 54 inches tall to drive, at least 42 to ride. Before you are even let on to the track, you have those measuring sticks there at the entrance. Make sure to buckle up or the attendant walking around will not let the fun begin. Each car can fit two people if one is not tall enough to drive. There is only the one gas pedal on the left. To slow down or stop, simply just take your foot off the pedal. Or you can just bump into somebody if you wanna stop right away. To back up towards whatever direction you wanna go just turn the steering wheel to all the way to the extreme right or left. In the end, even after all this info, some people just dont know how to drive. Dont let any of these people drive you to the hospital. If im not mistaken I think the overall time given to drive around is 5 minutes. Yelp 2014 365 Review Challenge #172 "Road rage starts here"

One of the more interesting features was a ship-like viewing area that allowed children to see animals swimming both underneath and above them through the glass. This gave younger visitors another way to observe the animals closely. Stingray Touch Pool The stingray touch pool was much less accessible for small children. The stingrays usually stayed near the bottom of the pool, making them difficult for younger children to reach. Children were not permitted to sit or lie on the stone surrounding the pool for safety reasons, but there was no alternative provided, such as a secured step platform or designated raised viewing area. This meant that parents often had to lift and hold their children over the edge so they could see or attempt to touch the stingrays. That could create its own safety concern for both the parent and child. A staff member suggested that a child could lie on their stomach to reach farther into the pool. However, this may not work well for children who have sensory sensitivities, physical limitations, discomfort with pressure on their stomach, or developmental delays. The exhibit would be more inclusive if it offered a safe alternative for shorter children, such as: * A secured, nonslip step platform * A lower section of the pool designed for children * A raised glass viewing window * A staff-supported touch opportunity * Clear accessibility options for children with sensory or physical needs The touch pool was an exciting concept, but the current design made it difficult for many younger children to participate independently and safely.
