The story
The Strat stands as a no-frills anchor on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip, a casino hotel that prioritizes affordability over extravagance. Housed at 2000 Las Vegas Boulevard, it offers a clean, tidy, and recently renovated room for travelers focused on budget rather than luxury. There are no pretensions here—just a functional place to rest.
Reviewers capture the trade-offs succinctly. Only Scrans calls it “cheap and cheerful” and notes that it “gave us a bed for the night right on the Strip with no frills.” Walk With Me Tim agrees it’s clean and tidy, but warns the location is “sketchy” and the food “mediocre.” That’s the Strat in a nutshell: a practical, wallet-friendly stop that doesn’t pretend to be anything more than a place to sleep between adventures.

What creators say about the stay
Rooms
- The room was basic and not great, but for $12 we couldn't complain much.
- The room was clean and tidy but a bit dark with only one main light, an old mattress with springs you can feel, and a view of the air conditioning units.
Facilities
- The pool area has been renovated with cabanas and outside blackjack, much better than I remembered from 20 years ago.
Location
- It's right on the Strip, so very convenient for exploring Vegas.
- The hotel is at the north end of the Strip in a bad neighborhood with homeless people and crime, not safe to walk around at night.
Breakfast
- The Strat Cafe breakfast buffet was limited and the menu basic, with a clinical atmosphere lacking charm.
Value for money
- We paid $12 for the room, which is insane value for a night on the Strip.
- At just over $200 for one night including resort fee, it's a cheap option for Vegas with a clean room and basic amenities.

A budget hotel at the north end of the Strip that's been renovated and is clean and tidy, but the location is sketchy and the food is mediocre.
