An Unexpected Return

I was in Vegas in May and thought that my next visit would be May 2014 at the earliest if I was lucky.
However thanks to taking some leave when the kids are away and some timely back pay from work I have just booked the last week in October and will be stopping at the Stratosphere this time, which will be my first time staying in a strip hotel.

 

I stayed there last November and liked the place, but I wouldn't personally call it a "strip hotel", it to me, is in a perfect location- halfway between the strip and downtown.

 

I have stopped previously at the Desert Rose, Tuscany and El Cortez on my visits to Vegas so far, so it's the closest I have been albeit being right at the top of the strip.
I have to agree with you that it is a perfect location between the strip and downtown and that was one of the reasons I chose it.

 

Agree that I wouldn't call it a "strip hotel" either by any stretch as it is quite a way from the strip still especially by foot. Does have good proximity to both Fremont Street and the Strip though if you like to do both.

I have never been on any of my trips but would like to check it out maybe on my October trip.

 

Hope all goes well in October.
Good luck.

 

Those unexpected trip sure can bring a smile to ones face.

 

Never a bad thing when a surprise vegas trip comes along. Cheers

 

I also had the same intention. But Vegas here I come!
