text: We booked our trip to CES really late and had to stay at the Stratosphere. I heard that it was a decent hotel but was still a little weary.  First of all, its located at the end of the strip right before downtown. It starts to get sketchy near Circus Circus.  One of the workers advised us to always take a cab at night because it can get a little dangerous.\n\nSecond, I had booked a non smoking room with two queen beds. They didn't have it when I arrived but had a smoking room. I didn't wanna sleep in a smoky room so they gave me a non smoking one bed and said I could switch tomorrow.  The room smelled of smoke.   Did the switch the next day which was annoying but it was fine.  Room was better and didn't smell.\n\nThird, they charge you 11.99 per day for internet and $1 for LOCAL calls. WTF?\n\nFourth - everytime I called them to the front desk, I either got hung up on or disconnected.  Everything I asked for never came.\n\nFifth, I asked for late checkout on Sunday and figured it wouldn't be a problem since the conference was over.  Flight wasn't until 4 so I didn't want to have to just hang out in the casino or airport. $30 for a late checkout. \n\nSo the service is horrible, they charge you for anything and everything. Its far from everything and gets dangerous at night.  Also, not entirely related by the waitress at their bar on 107 was rude. Booo to Stratosphere. Avoid staying here if possible.
