This hotel is probably idea for smokers or people who love the smell of cigarette smoke.  If you are sensitive to smells and indoor air quality, stay away.  Like, don't even visit the casino or the rides.  \n\nI'm conflicted about this place.  On the one hand, it was really, really cheap to stay here for a week, on the Strip, in Vegas, in a room with two queen beds.  Check in and check out were painless.  They upgraded me from a 6th floor to a 23rd floor room on Sunday.\n\nHowever, if you go to other hotels on the strip you're going to get major location, fanciness, and smell envy.  Yes, smell envy.  Let me start there.\n\nThe casino in the Strat smells like disgusting stale smoke.  While there are signs when you get off the elevator saying \"Non smoking floor.\"  Why they bother to say that when they clearly don't enforce it is a source of consternation for me.  There were even cigarette marks on the toilet seat in my room on the 23rd floor.  When patrons come up the elevators to your floor, they also bring an elevator full of gross smoke smell.  There are also ashtrays at the entrance to the elevators.  ON A NON SMOKING FLOOR.  HELLO.\n\nThe room itself also had terrible air quality.  I could smell smoke strongly in the first room I had, not so much in the second.  But the second's air conditioner had some sort of janky filter rigged to the AC which was full of dust.  Our noses were running the entire time.\n\nAlso, there seemed to be construction going on above our room.  At 7 in the morning.  On a Sunday.  It sounded like people banging on wood and dropping things.\n\nI'll update this review as I remember more stuff but overall, if I had to do it again, I'd go with Circus Circus, which is cheaper, bigger, and closer to the action.
