    Hole in 2 of 2 Queen Bed

    We were there for two nights. Let's start from the parking lot , aesthetically was horrible the ceilings were full of shoe marks. People literally take the time to leave their shoe prints on every single lot level. Inside the Casino it seemed pleasantly clean and modern and so did our room upon arrival. As our day progressed we were regretting our booking with them. There was no ice in the ice machines. The customer service at the front desk, was useless. She said to just look for another machine. To find out none of the machines on our floor had ice. On a day where the degrees were 106 you would think they would be on top of their ice! Their blankets had HOLES on them. Here is your FIY, if you are spending the night they will not vacuum unless you request also their is no trash can in the room except for the restroom. They also do not validate your parking for your stay with them.

    My boyfriend and I went Saturday, October 2 arrived at 9pm ish. We got tickets from Groupon and got the unlimited rides. This was my first time here. Tbh, I never knew there were rides on The Strat! I've been in Vegas more than 10 times and never known. It was so confusing where all the rides were since there were no one lining up for rides. You have to go to different floor if you want to ride the Big Shot. But the other 2 rides (Insanity and X-Scream) , you can stay on the same floor. When we got there, there wasn't a lot of people. All the lines to the rides were so short. We didn't even wait long. One time, we got to do it again without leaving the seats because there were no one waiting in line. If you get dizzy or kind of dizzy, I DONT RECOMMEND INSANITY. Just don't! Everyone in our group, random people, said they wanted to throw up after the ride stopped. It was super dizzy!!!! Not worth it. If you want to try it, MAKE SURE ITS THE LAST RIDE YOU GO ON!! YOU DONT WANT TO BE DIZZY AND UNABLE TO GO ON OTHER RIDES. It was the longest line too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND X-SCREAM!!! Do it multiple times if you can!!! SIT IN THE FIRST ROW!!! Trust!!!! It's the scariest if you're in the first row. You see everything and everything on the bottom of the building. It's scary after the 2nd and 3rd time riding it!!! Since there weren't any people waiting, every time we went on it, we sat on the first row. Second best is the BIG SHOT! I got to ride it twice I think. It was fun! The first time was so scary!! All the rides were open when we were there. We saw the outside and inside deck. Parking is free!!! You can bring water bottle. There are snacks and drinks inside the deck but it's expensive.

    Waitress was very customer service oriented. Restaurant was clean. I was not impressed with my avocado toast. Coffee was good, prices are a bit steep.

    Booked the Strat Observation & 2 Thrill Ride Pass for $27.Observation was nothing special other than looking down the Vegas city with binoculars & the 2 Thrill rides Big Shot & X-Scream was lasted just over a minute so not great at all! And top of that found out from the staff that their ride cameras stopped working so can't even get the pics of my rides! Overall very disappointing !!!

    We went here initially for one ride, ended up getting unlimited rides for the whole day, all 3 rides. It was the best decision we've ever made (for that day). Unlike others, there barely any line for every rides. We tried the Big Shot, the Insanity, and something else.. I forgot the name. Everything was great except the Insanity, because it spins so fast that it made me and my husband super sick . The big shot was one of the thing that we did twice with no regrets. It was fun, enjoyable, and really cook place to visit!

    Omg! I'll leave it at that! It's a must do if you come. We also took pictures while walking around the views are amazing. Drinks of course are a bit expensive, but worth it. It's a good time and memorable! They have snacks, cocktails etc at the top. The jumps , rides are crazy fun and daring

    -- A must-see while in Vegas! -- It's sooooo windy up here!!!! (As to be expected) It feels like you can see the entire state of Nevada from Big Shot! Unfortunately, when it gets this windy, they close down Big Shot specifically and only allow the other rides to operate. The ride in my attached photo was by far my favorite. The claw-arm spins you and 7 others out over the entire city.. IMPORTANT: they warn you but still, shoes.. sunglasses.. & phones can plummet to certain death so be careful. Try to plan on a day that's not so windy to enjoy the full experience!! :)

    The strat thrill rides are so fun to go check out if you like getting on the big rides. So to start you have to pay 30 bucks to go to the top of the stratosphere. This is a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that by charging this prevents the place from being over crowded at the top. The bad thing is that you have to pay to go up and for each ride you get on. But your in vegas get used to spending money lol. When you are at the top there are roller coasters, and other scary rides for thrill seekers to ride. Theres also a little snack shop that sells chips, sandwiches and alcoholic drinks. So you can but something and sit on the sofas or tables and enjoy the view. The view from the top is amazing! You literally see all of Las Vegas, and its an amazing sight to see. Pros -You see las vegas -You can chill and relax Cons -You have to pay to go up

    Gloria A.

    Sooooo this was such an amazing experience and I wish I could give it a million stars BUT when we had our ticket time one of the rides were closed and unfortunately no one offered any type of compensation Or apologies Aside from that the rides are a blast (staff is serious and not fun tho) The bartender was amazing!!!!!! So check her out, the deli had a great sandwich Great spot for drinks, views, pics and adrenaline was def pumping This is a must see if ur in vegas 10/10 BUTTT call ahead and make sure the rides are open

    Emely R.

    Even though I only rode one ride it was absolutely amazing!! Very thrilful and the views from the top of the STRAT are unforgettable!! This is a must go to if you are I in Las Vegas (:

While we've always thought the prices were high for what it is, this year, the prices for the experience was truly not worth it. They offer various packages, 1 hour, 3 hour, or unlimited. We've done all the options in the past, but this time we opted for the hour wristband as we arrived later in the evening ~ 7pm on a Friday night. We wanted her to have time inside too to play in the arcades. Time doesn't start until your first scan for a race or ride. They conveniently scanned us in for our first race and we were seated, in our car, for a solid 10 mins while they sorted out other drivers and go-karts. We got sick from exhaust blowing in our face as we sat there with all the cars running yet not moving. When we finally started the race, it was less than 5 minutes! Half of the cars were either dysfunctional or set to a slow setting with no rhyme or reason. Our next race, our daughter was so excited she is tall enough to try the sprinter car on her own (58in) so we went to check that out. We waited 10 mins for a race to finish then the worker told us she could only fit 8 racers despite there being 15+ cars. So we had to wait another round. Another 20+ mins gone. Half an hour in, we only had 2 races in. In total, we were able to get 5 races in the hour time frame (one of which was past our time limit, but the worker let us go anyway). We have been going to Mini Grand Prix for years and this was the worst experience by far. The races are shorter, the lines are longer, the wrist bands are more expensive and the facilities have not been updated. Our daughter, on her own told us, it's not the same anymore : (

First time I ever rode it, I didn't know what I was signing up for. You hear that slow click... click... click as you climb, thinking, "Alright, how bad could this be?" Then it drops and suddenly you're questioning every life decision that led you to that seat. It's fast, it feels a little wild, almost rickety like it might toss you into the Vegas skyline, and I wasn't ready for it. Not even close. But man... what a trip. And here's the thing that ride became more than just a thrill. One of the last trips I ever took with my dad, we rode that coaster together. I didn't know at the time he was sick... didn't know he had cancer. He never told me. But I remember that ride clear as day. I was focused on grabbing one of those little souvenir keychains after, something simple. He had other plans wanted the bigger photo, something we could hold onto. At the time, I didn't think much of it. Now? That picture means everything. So every time I go back to Vegas, I ride it. No questions asked. It's tradition. And for something that looks compact tucked into the Strip, this thing punches way above its weight. It hits speeds around 67 mph, throws you through a full loop and a barrel roll, and pulls enough G-force to make you feel like a fighter pilot for a few seconds. It's one of the few coasters right on a major city strip like this, and it doesn't hold back. By the time you step off, your legs are a little shaky, your stomach's doing a reset, and yeah you're probably ready to eat something. Quick tip: don't ride it at the end of a long night. Either go in fresh or give yourself some buffer after eating. This one's got some bite. I'll be honest it's not about chasing thrills like I used to. I'm not some hardcore coaster guy. But this? This is different. This is memory, adrenaline, and tradition all wrapped into one loud, fast, unforgettable ride above Las Vegas. Ride it once for the thrill. Ride it again for the ones you remember.

To Big Apple Coaster's credit, they did allow me to jump back in line where I left rather than go back to the beginning.

My son loves digging and anything construction-related, so this was basically his dream day. The whole experience was awesome from start to finish, and every staff member we interacted with was friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful. They made it fun, safe, and memorable. What really stood out, though, was their honesty and attention to detail. I lost a $100 bill that day (and with the wind out there, I honestly assumed it was gone for good). I called the same day just in case it had fallen in the waiting area or near where we were operating the equipment, but I didn't have much hope. Even after we'd already been home for about a week, it was still on their radar. Then Aaron called to tell me he found the $100 bill while he was out picking up trash, and Taylor followed up right away. Anyone could've easily kept it and no one would've known, but they didn't. That kind of integrity says a lot about this place and the people who work there. We can't wait to come back, and we may even visit more often this next year. Highly recommend!

How can you go wrong with an electric powered vehicle that was designed for bumping into other cars? Well, head on collisions can really mess up your back, spine, or whatever other skeletal terms you wanna go by. That is why for this track you are only supposed to go in one direction. In this case, counter clockwise. Still you will have those people that either dont know how to drive or just wanna be idiots and bump into everybody or both. You must be 54 inches tall to drive, at least 42 to ride. Before you are even let on to the track, you have those measuring sticks there at the entrance. Make sure to buckle up or the attendant walking around will not let the fun begin. Each car can fit two people if one is not tall enough to drive. There is only the one gas pedal on the left. To slow down or stop, simply just take your foot off the pedal. Or you can just bump into somebody if you wanna stop right away. To back up towards whatever direction you wanna go just turn the steering wheel to all the way to the extreme right or left. In the end, even after all this info, some people just dont know how to drive. Dont let any of these people drive you to the hospital.

It is a bit in the smaller side for an aquarium, and depending on how young or easily entertained your kids are, you may or may not be done quickly. I know my kids could probably be happy here for hours and hours though. If you aren't a local, then I'm not sure if the ticket price on top of having to pay for parking would feel worth it, but then again that is dependent on each person and what they want to do for their family. This was our first time to the shark aquarium, even though we've been living out here for about seven years, and also a first for me even going to Mandalay Bay despite visiting Vegas often before having kids and moving out here. Just from the area of walking to go to the ticket area inside, Mandalay seems very spacious and beautiful. I could even see myself spending a good amount of time with the kids just walking around in the non-casino sections.

    I am extremely disappointed with our experience at Shark Reef. What was supposed to be a fun and…read morememorable family outing turned into a stressful and heartbreaking experience for our daughter and our entire family. We fully understood that the activity was intended for children ages 5 and up. However, staff scanned and accepted my daughter's ticket without any issue and allowed us to go through the entire process, which naturally led us to believe she was approved to participate. It wasn't until we reached the very front, after waiting and getting her excited for the experience, that staff suddenly stopped us and told her she could not participate. Having to tell a child at the last second that she was no longer allowed to join after already being checked in was incredibly upsetting. Our daughter immediately started crying and was devastated. My wife and I then had to step away to comfort and carry her while everyone else continued on. Because of how poorly this was handled, neither my wife nor I were able to enjoy the experience either. The issue is not the rule itself we respected the age requirement. The problem is the complete lack of communication and professionalism. If there was an issue with her eligibility, it should have been addressed before her ticket was scanned and before we waited through the line and built up her expectations. Instead of creating a positive family memory, this experience left us frustrated, embarrassed, and deeply disappointed. We spent time, money, and effort planning this outing only to have it ruined by poor organization and careless handling of the situation. Families deserve better communication and better treatment than this.
