In this episode of Show Me Vegas, the host takes viewers through a full experience at the Strat Hotel & Casino, one of the more budget-friendly options in Las Vegas. While technically located on the Strip, its northernmost position makes it feel somewhat removed from the main action. The video kicks off with a review of the newly renovated “Elevate King” room, which, despite being compact at 340 square feet, impresses with modern decor, ample storage, and a cozy atmosphere. However, minor inconveniences—like a missing luggage rack and a stool instead of a proper desk chair—are noted.
The journey continues with a visit to the Top of the World restaurant, the revolving dining spot perched atop the Strat’s tower. Although the food is deemed “good but not great,” the breathtaking panoramic views elevate the dining experience. A reservation mishap results in an unexpected $25 window table charge, but the host embraces it, making the most of the evening. The next morning, a full resort tour reveals the Strat’s amenities, including its casino, entertainment offerings, and rooftop pool. Despite some drawbacks, like the surrounding neighborhood and limited dining options, the affordability and unique tower experience make the Strat an appealing choice for budget-conscious Vegas visitors.
In the end, the review highlights the Strat’s biggest selling point—its price. Booking directly through the hotel netted a $95 total cost for the night, including a $25 dining credit. While it may not compare to high-end resorts, its affordability, solid renovations, and iconic tower views make it a worthwhile stay for travelers looking to save while still enjoying a unique Las Vegas experience.
