Stratosphere Hotel and Casino: The connecting door weirdness freaked us out. (3 stars)

Check in - very long lines. But the people were very pleasant.

We saw the kind of room (broom closet) that came with our package, so we paid for an upgrade. It was a clean nice sized suite with a jetted tub, 2 tvs and 2 sinks in the bathroom. We were pleased.

We went to Lucky's Cafe for breakfast. The food sucked and the buffet is not worth it. However, the server was extrememly pleasant. We also went to the Italian place for dinner - very good food and I think fairly priced and just as good any of the fancier ones on the strip.

The view was nice from the top, but we really missed being in the heart of everything. It really lowers the amount of choices for everything you do, unless you want to trek - which we did.

BUT, the reason why we will never go back is because of the connecting door weirdness. The first night we were in town, we had noticed that there was a connecting door to the next room. We made sure it was locked. However, the next worning as we were about to leave the apartment, we noticed that the door was not only UNLOCKED, but CRACKED OPEN! There are no door handles on the other side of this door, so we had no idea how this could have happened. We did not notice anything missing, so we ENSURED that it was locked again and went to have fun in Vegas. Throughout our stay, we would make a point to visibly notice of the door was closed. Our last full day there, we decided not to the have the room cleaned, so we put up the Do Not Dusturb sign on the door. No one as far as we knew enetered the room while we were out, BUT the next morning, the connecting door was UNLOCKED and CRACKED OPEN AGAIN! It gives the appearance once again that someone came into our room while we were sleeping.

We just hope there is some logical explanation for this - because I would take theft over the power a stranger has during our sleep. I did file an incident report with the management and security. I could go on, but I will stick with the facts and not the horrorible thoughts that reel in our head now.

I have to say that the place other than location, and this weird thing that happened was an ok and affordable place to stay. All personnel were extrememtly pleasant. But we will not be staying there, obviously. I would steer clear fo the rooms with connecting doors.
