Las Vegas has become more expensive in recent years. Especially after reopening in 2020 into 2021 as well as 2022 heading into 2023. Trying to find a cheap place to stay on or off the strip can be difficult. However, today I am doing a review of the cheapest room on the entire Las Vegas strip. This video is definitely made for the budget traveler, so you won't be seeing a luxury suite at Cosmo, Venetian, Wynn, Bellagio, etc. This review is to show you the most affordable room option on the strip, a new restaurant you can try out, what attractions this hotel offers, info on gambling in the casino, transportation options and things to do around the property.

Hi Jacob, for check-in/check-out, can you comment about your wait time in line? When my GF and I stayed at The Strat last month, the wait time was a GRUELING 2 hours for check-in and another 1.25 hours for check-out!!! At other times, when we'd walk past the front desk, the lines did not appear much shorter. We would have opted for automated check-in at the kiosks (to skip the awful line), but the kiosk rejected my ID, so that eliminated that option. If you could share your experience with check-in/check-out, we would greatly appreciate it!
Otherwise, our experience at The Strat was pleasant and similar to your's ... we got an antiquated room (without USB ports) for a great rate, the restaurants were good, and the casino had a decent selection.
Yo Jacob ! I heard the resorts hotel is doing an official EDC special thing. Maybe you can make a video when the time comes ?
Where this at ??

Great video. Thinking of coming out to Vegas in Feb/March. Will be mostly driving around Vegas looking at condos. Not really looking to party. I like the room rates, but what would my parking situation look like at the Strat? You mentioned the area isn't so great. Is there indoor parking maybe? Also I'm a NYer, so Vegas "bad" might not be too bad for me. lol
This first day that Clark County lifted the Vegas Strip shutdown on hotels during pandemic, I was there and comped 6 nights free, zero resort fees, zero tax, zero. Flew on a jet from Alaska to Vegas and saw only six other passengers on my 737 flight.
Nice.
🛑 Don't respond to the scammer asking you to contact Jacob via WhatsApp. It's not Jacob!🛑
Right
Can't believe people fall 🍁 for it ...
The scammer is an absolute turd
@@Mariuz-ru9iwwhat are you guys talking about Jacob message me last year he told me if I send him 15,000$ for donations and he is going to fly me out this September
I don't think he scam people he is legit TH-cam he is real
We stayed at the Strat, and like Vegas newbies, we had no idea of the danger in the neighborhood around the place. We noted everything looked run down and the vagrants, but we walked around anyway. Maybe because we were a larger group nobody dared to mess with us, but I think next time we will stay in a more popular tourist area.
When you said “right in the middle of all the action” I immediately figured you were at the Best Western in Casino Royale; didn’t realize by “action” you meant “crime” 😂
The Strat, nuff said. There is a reason the rooms were only $22.00.
🤣
Bro... I honestly think this is one of my favorite review videos you've done. I LOVE these type of fleshed out hotel/casino and room reviews. I specifically appreciated you talking about the transportation options and the surrounding attractions. I had no idea the Downtown Loop Shuttle existed. The detail you went into the whole Strat experience was really well done. Thank you.
Ikr I never knew about that loop shuttle either
The first thing I when I hit my hotel is go to the Bus Stop and buy a 3 day pass for $20. The Deuce buses on the strip run 24 hours a day and come really often during busy times. The bus will take you from the strip to downtown, and I love meeting people when riding the bus. That's funny about the upgrade. Most people have do the $20 bill trick to try to get an upgrade. I think this guy liked you.
That is a great idea I'll have to remember this when I get back out there save wear and tear on my old body
I laughed when you told the story of the guy trying to give you a free upgrade and you’re like “No no no, I need the cheapest room.” Something that he’d probably never heard before.
😂
.
Awesome vid of the Strat. Very well put together! 👍👍
Thank you!
@JacobslifeinVegas aye where can I come get that room at ??
VIDEO IS A LIE. He didn’t include Resort fees make Strat’s true cost ~70 dollars. Not 22.
You’re better-off using a Caesars Players card for a $10 room discount + fees == only $55 at Lync, Harrahs, Flamingo, Hollywood, et cetera
.
@@electrictroy2010 At time stamp 10:51 he talks about the resort fees..
I am addicted to your channel. I haven't been to Las Vegas since leaving California and moving to the east coast. I am living the Las Vegas experience through your eyes. Thank you Jacob.
A lot of people don't know this, next time you're near the Strat if you look at the legs of the tower (I think it's the leg on the west side) it's crooked and bends inward more then the other two. I think it was a design/engineering flaw when it was being built back in the day. Now...once you see it, you'll never not see it ever again haha.
Scary...thanks for the heads up👍
Engineers say it will remain stable until a major earthquake happens. That flawed leg will fail & the tower come down
My neighbor drove for the concrete company trucks. Stupak had such an insane schedule for completion every "cut back" or hardening agent known was added to the mix. He refuses to go anywhere near that building. One tremor, whole thing can shatter and collapse. Lots of greased palms back 8n the day.
@@electrictroy2010that’s comforting lol
My claim to fame is the ride insanity on the stratosphere. In 2004 before heading off to college I worked on one of the chairs cleaning up welding debris as well as cutting and preparing parts. In 2005 I was asked if I could help on the arm of the ride. My boss and I were responsible for the aligning and drilling holes for the outside light panels.
WOO HOO JACOB! no one has done a serious walkthrough about The Strat. Hotel prices, restaurants (food, seating arrangements), thrill rides, view look outs, casino map and games, sport book, transportation, budget considerations and more! WOW!! What a step up in the quality of your presentation. Seriously, you have your GROOVE! The OG title is yours! WOO HOO!
@jacobslifeinvegas , can you please do a video where you show us what it is like commuting on foot via the monorail & public transit from one landmark, say the Stratosphere, to another landmark, say the Welcome to Las Vegas Sign?
It would really be helpful to us potential future tourists.
Just knowing how long it takes in the real world and what the vibe is truly like, would be really helpful to most, if not all of us, to see from your perspective.
Really love the content you create!
Keep up the great work!
Resort fee is probably double the room rate
if it doesnt include a BJ and steak and eggs I aint paying no resort fee, airbnb all day when i go to vegas, get a private pool... etc
😂😂😂
@Gregory Duncan 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭
Yup. Stayed at the Strat last week for thanksgiving. Total scam. 😂😂
The old down ones are cheap but nothing going to be under $40 unless you got a player card.
With soaring inflation, depression and recession.., what Vegas needs is an affordable "Capsule Hotel" for budget-minded travelers!
Hell yeah!
It's around $20 in Vietnam. I stayed there once.
I love this guy's, causal friendly vibe. I feel like he is giving you the real deal and would be the kind of guy I'd like to hang out with.
5:30 I like how you added the hours and days of operation for Chi Asian Kitchen along with the Dress Code at the top left of the screen, same thing with the Mongolian Beef and having its price. I haven’t seen anyone else do that in their videos and it looks useful. Also thanks for uploading this, very useful information along with your other videos.

@@electrictroy2010 He says the true cost towards the end of the video, did you watch the whole video?
Also thank you for the tip about Caesars Rewards and Hotels.
$22 for a room which turns out to be almost $70 with resort fees and other fees. Typical false advertising by casinos. Not fooling anybody.
My mom saw you @Boulder station ❗ she was in the wheelchair ❗I missed you ❗ hope to catch you next time ❤️❗ Happiest of new years to you Jacob 😘
I remember! Millennium Fandom Bar was her recommendation 😉
This has got to be one of the most informative video about the ups and downs of staying at the Strat. Thank you Jacob!😊🤩😎
Oh my god. I had a military daze flash back when you said, "Fix your rack!" 😂😂
I haven't been to The Strat in years. Looks as good as when I went there when I turn 21 in 2005. The Strat has a special place in my heart as it was the first Las Vegas resort I went to that wasn't a Holiday Inn.i remember it always being interesting, but not being too much so people of all ages could enjoy it. After visiting Las Vegas a couple times afterwards. Staying at the Rio, Hard Rock, and Planet Hollywood. I'd say The Strat looks like it's holding up well. The location is not the best, but their transportation options make it doable. The Strat is often overlooked. I may have to check it out again.
It's great to see you leave a tip for housekeeping. I enjoyed the video.
So last New Year's I stayed here. After a lot of Airline drama, I checked in and found many things in the video were closed, and the transportation was outstanding. The Nehiboorhood is what is what is but there's a Walmart across the street. Good work as always.
Walgreens, not Walmart.
@@jethrobo3581 i was like a walmart ? wasn’t there two years ago lol
I can understand confusing Walmart & Walgreens. They are almost identical in size
;-)
Great review! Yes always leave a tip for the hardworking housekeeper 😊🤙
What for? All strip casinos are unionized with housekeepers/ staff getting 20/hour ($25/hour bartender). Plus great union benefits
@electrictroy2010 We’re in the hospitality industry here on Maui. We’re unionized here as well but along with that we pay high union dues & benefits not as strong. The high cost of living here on Maui, we sort of break even! 😂 Doing it for 35 yrs we appreciate when we travel & get good service. 🤙
Good morning Jacob just saying hello 👋 my friend from your local lady Tonya hello 👋 have a great warmer day later this afternoon enjoy the sun ☀
Have a good weekend, Tonya!
@@shonta you too Shonta hope you enjoy yours and do some xmas 🎄 shopping 🛒 I already got one of mine early my husband surprised me a new Kate Spade tote back in a Jade Green which I know its actually a true Kelly Green for Irish color LOL 😂 but I haven't had one in over 15yrs why not since she's passed away Kate Spade it was a nice bag ...
@@tonyamendivel2826 Nice! Enjoy your new tote! :)
@@shonta thanks just hope it last awhile cause now a days nothing is made like they used to ... 😉 things change fabrics change leather changes now more and more designers are not using leathers anymore they're using leather with coatings or even plastics on them which I guess I can say it's kinda a good thing it prevents peeling off the leather ... like more of my expensive ones but not too much like I don't have a Chanel bag LOL 😂
I’m not sure why this was suggested to me but I really enjoyed it anyway this video was really well done and that restaurant made me hungry. I love these no nonsense straight to the points and properly edited videos.
Jacob is strong, Jacob is Macho, and Jacob is powerful. Look how he carries himself! So of course he doesn't have security concerns. He has no idea this is a sketch part of Las Vegas, it doesn't even cross his mind.
I once worked at the Strat in the 2nd floor gift shop from 99 - 01. They then moved me to the gift shop at the top of Strat. I will say that I had an amazing view of LV every day from up there. But that position was short lived when I decided not to work up there or for the Strat after the 9/11 attacks.
I was at the circle K by bellagio and a guy pulled a gun to steal candy, so crime is crime lol I’m really considering the Strat with the arts district close and the free shuttle! Badass video Jacob.
Stayed here last summer and loved it. However one day we wanted Mexican food so we discovered north of the Strat (15 minute walk) on the corner of South Main Street and West California Avenue in the Arts District is Casa Don Juan...best homemade Mexican food restaurant we have been to so far. Very clean authentic Mexican decor and atmosphere with reasonable prices and excellent friendly service. You get an ample amount of food with each dish on the menu. I highly recommend it.
Casa Don Juan is awesome.
The cheapest I found was $25.50 + $39.95 resort fee + taxes about 10%. We are talking about atleast $72/night.
Thanks for including info about the transportation options that are available . Very helpful. Enjoyable video.
Great video Jacob. I was down there back in 2019 because my traveling partners wanted to go to the top to see the view. They did a great job renovating that property. It sure didn't look like that in 2019. It is much nicer now. These new "convenience fees" are such a rip off. I get the resort fees, those are just taken off the regular price of the room. Resort fees are nationwide now. But convenience fees? They push a button to print a ticket. Ridiculous. That was a nice room for the price even with the resort fee added though. Thanks for the review!
Thank you Jacob, you're very good at showing us everything.
Hey Jacob - great content in this video. Everything was informative and interesting- Thank You!✌👍
Man, this is awesome….I remember watching this channel when he just started and mannnnn the channel has come a long way. Badass
I like the little office space!
It was a nice little surprise!
Thanks for another great video, Jacob. Never stayed at the Strat, but usually end up visiting the casino at least once on most trips. The last time I was there, Roxy's diner had been replaced, and there was remodeling going on. It looks much better and, from other videos, I've seen they've also updated a lot of rooms. Maybe I'll have to stay a couple nights there next time I'm in Vegas.
Another amazing video. Thank you for sharing this. I would definitely stay here.
I like the Strat. I stayed there a couple of times and loved it.
Love your work Jacob!
I love the Strat. That was my go to when I went to Vegas, back when is was called The Stratosphere. I'm happy to see the upgrades!
I’ve stayed at the Strat, it was cheap, nice, and safe. We got one of the suites, I love the Strat!
Great video Jacob 🎉
Your videos are great! Thanks!
great job as usual. keep up the good work.
Great video, Jacob! Thanks for doing the property justice and highlighting Chī Asian Kitchen! I love The STRAT. Will be back on the 22nd! Have a good week!
Great video Jacob. Useful too. Before this I might not have considered the Strat. Now I definitely would!
Good Stuff,Great Tips😄👍🏿
Good vlog. Ty for sharing ❤️
I stayed at the strat a few years ago. I know people talk some trash about this place but I loved my stay there. The sportsbook is awesome for watching a game. It was super laid back and has kind of a lounge feel to it and it wasn't super crowded. Blackjack tables were awesome. And the food was great. There is a little diner off the casino floor that had a $4.99 dinner special and a $5.99 late night burger special. I utilized each of those during my stay and both were delicious and came with a lot of food. They also had a great sports bar with awesome food. Overall I had a fantastic experience there. Highly recommend.
Very informative video. Been there, but never stayed at the Strat. Looks like you been hitting the gym hard 💪
Jacob, as always you never disappoint! Really, shorts, when did you film this video? 😳 Thanks for the great video!
love your videos man. thank you
Okay jacob, I enjoyed this video you really recorded it good keep up the good work good things to know about the strap
Looking good, Jacob!!
Slot hosts at 3 locations couldn’t get me in the first 2 nights of a 4 night stay over Thanksgiving, no availability anywhere, so I had to stay at the Travelodge on Harmon. What a SH#*HOLE! Try reviewing that sometime. No resort fee, out the door at $26.73
Nice review !
Nice video Jacob, it was nice for the front desk employee to offer you the free upgrade
estuve en el hotel Oyo en agosto 2022, me parecio muy bueno, comodo, barato y mas. La habitacion era igual que la que muestra Jacobs en el principio, con vista al strip, hooters para comer, 2 hermosas piletas y un casino con apuestas bajas. en el 2023 vuelvo seguro viva el hotel OYO!!!!
LMFMAO! "HEY, RECRUIT! FIX YOUR RACK!" oh the memories!
What’s up?Jacob great video!
👍Great video my friend. Much appreciated.
Aside from great presentation, the music your using in the background is outstanding. Really takes a great video to the next level.
Nice job on video great job
Too funny, love the videos Jacob.
Jacob you ballin outta control 🎉👍
😂 I didn’t know a $22 room was available... 20 years ago !!! 😂😂😂. EXCELLENT VIDEO, EXCELLENT CAMERA WORK !
The last time I walked into the Stratosphere was many years ago, but my memory was shag carpet. It was dirty too. It definitely looks better now.
They've been upgrading it for a few years now. The name change was part of that.
We always use the Monorail, but I had NO IDEA about the free shuttle service to Downtown! 🤯 TY for that tip!!
Thank you for the room review! Looks nice enough for me. I've been in The Strat, all the way to the top. Epic views! The 1 reason I never stay there is it's a pretty long walk down the strip or to Fremont St. But there is a solution to that- a bus pass on the Duece!
Fresh look at the Strat! I could see staying here!
Great video.
03:50 with that zoom in 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for doing this. Once I move to Las Vegas in March I want to learn about betting in football. Good to know about a place to start.
Have a nice Christmas season.
Great panoramic views from top. The best in town. As for the "danger Will Robinson" neighborhood, bring a way to protect yourself and don't walk around at night. Duh.
I have been looking to book here cause it’s so cheap. I always love going up the tower and enjoying the thrill rides. This video sold me!
old school vibe, I love it
Around 2007 I used to stay at the Stratosphere quite a bit. Back then I was getting rooms for $17 and $18 a night with a $5 resort fee. Oftentimes if you ask, they would waive the resort fee. Also, if you were a guest they would give you one free day to go to the top of the observation tower for free per stay. After a dozen or so stays I had a problem and I asked for a refund and they denied me. Been to Vegas probably 15 or 20 times since and I never set foot in the Stratosphere ever again! I believe they have changed ownership once or twice since my last stay.
Amen bro. Same experience.
That ending of the video was good, Have a good day
Great video bro
Thank you!
I was in Las Vegas when the Strat caught fire in 93.
Have you been to the saw escape room ? Great videos edited amazingly
Very under rated because of its location.
Great video! Most of us can't afford the luxury hotels very often.
Totally forgot about this place! I was looking at Caesar’s and Mlife. Looking for the cheapest room rates. I got dropped off here by Lyft and hopped on the Deuce, very convenient! Thanks mang! 😀👍🏽
Gotta laugh my head off..... "THE FORTY FIVE DOLLAR AND 30 CENTS RESORT FEE." Like I said -- gotta laugh my mother f@cking head off.
I love this guy 👍
Bro did your quad give out entering Chi @4:42
I usually stay at Harrah's for $9 per night plus the resort fee. I just booked the Rio for $17 per night plus the resort fee with a strip view for April 2023.
What the how bro how
@@trench-tr8ph Use the rewards card and sign in first then it shows rates and yes Rio most days comes as low as $8 (not weekends of course)
Rio is awful sorry 😂
@@DouradaBambina it's going to be my first time there. I usually stay at Harrah's.
CEASARS players card reduces the room rate to $10 when you type-in the number. That applies to Rio, Harrahs, Flamingo, Hollywood, and sometimes Paris
Stayed many times at the Strat, location did it for me...and the bus system is right out front...easy to get to whether going to Fremont or down to Luxor and entertaining ....rooms not bad, food good, shopping basic, the tower good at night.
It's been awhile since we stayed at The Strat (The Stratosphere last I was there), but always enjoyed it due to the cost. It would never be my first recommendation for a vegas newbie, but for frequent visitors, great cheap place just you can get back to Vegas!
Hmm, I'm a Venetian kinda girl..But I'm listening lol
Happy to do what I can 😂
Really enjoyed the video Jacob. I thought the price was great until I go deflated by the $45.00 resort fee. I think that's a tad too high. The casino looks great, nice & modern. Will probably drop in on my next trip to Vegas. keep up the good work & looking forward to your next video.
Lol…I’ve never seen the pillow punch against the headboard soft and plush test lol. I like you more and more Jakey…you have your own unique style and I’ve seen you do lots of collabs with other Vegas peeps I watch and everyone has their own little unique twists …I love Tanya and Dave’s bed test and that’s what I thought of when you punched that pillow pretty hard…but it’s something only a big muscley guy could pull off lol. I guess just keep being you ☺️
The Arts District which also encompasses some of the better Breweries is a great area. TY Sir !
Stayed at the Strat many times, I was last there October 2022. The casino and bars have had a make over and it’s very nice in there, live music at the weekends. I always stay in a Select Room, bathrooms need updating in them.
Check in is horrendous, over an hour wait in the line, not enough staff and the staff always seem to have to go and speak to a manager about something with every person checking in. Also never trust the price quoted on your booking. I booked through their website for 7 nights and it was about $975 with all fees. At check in I was told it was $1200, when I complained I was told it was mistake and would honour the confirmed price. I elected for the late check out with a confirmed price of $25 if they could accommodate the request. I was told they could but the price would be $50 as the hotel was very busy. It’s a shame it’s a good hotel but silly things let it down, basically it feels tour trying to be scammed for charging extra on confirmed prices.
CRIME called bait & switch (advertising low price & charging more at arrival)
I remember staying here and going up to the sky deck was just included
