text: I have stayed here a few times before, but many years ago. It has steadily gone downhill.  They now charge the much-hated \"Resort Fee\", which is a sleazy way of hiding the true cost of your stay. They also charge for internet access. VERY slow internet access. According to Cox Comm they have very old equipment at the Stratosphere and do not want to pay for the upgrade.  A 25 year old analog TV has a better picture than the TV in my room. I got my revenge by doing ALL my gambling and eating elsewhere. So the $27/day charges for Resort Fees and internet access was all they got. The other big downside is that all the action happens further down the strip and cab fares in Las Vegas are outrageous.
