The STRAT sits at the northern tip of the Las Vegas Strip, close to downtown and Fremont Street.

  • 2000 Las Vegas Blvd S — gateway to downtown attractions and the Fremont Street Experience.
  • Walkable/short drive to downtown museums and the Arts District; Deuce bus and other transit options available.
  • Tower is a skyline landmark and observation point above the Strip.

Best if you want quick access to downtown and a distinct northern-Strip address with tower views.

Waldorf Astoria is on the central Strip near CityCenter and shopping at The Shops at Crystals.

  • 3752 Las Vegas Blvd S — central Strip location convenient to shopping and Strip attractions.
  • Supplier listing cites proximity to ARIA, CityCenter, The Shops at Crystals and the Las Vegas Monorail/monorail stations.
  • Non-gaming footprint yields a quieter arrival and street presence compared with casino resorts.

Best if you want a quieter base close to central Strip shopping, shows and business destinations.

Rooms: casual, varied tower options vs serene luxury rooms

The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower – Rooms

The STRAT offers a wide mix of rooms and suites including tower rooms and several suite categories.

  • Room types include Elite Room, Select Room, Elevate Room, Newly Renovated Vegas Tower Room, multiple suite options and more.
  • Some rooms are designated smoking rooms; free in-room Wi‑Fi for up to two devices; select tower rooms have separate Tower Wi‑Fi.
  • Primary guest must be at least 21 to check in; additional-person fees apply for 3rd/4th occupants aged 12+.

Rooms vary from value-focused to tower views and suites — expect a more casual, functional room mix.

  • Room types listed include Deluxe Room - 1 King Bed, Strip View Room - 1 King Bed, Junior Suite - 1 King Bed and multiple accessible options.

  • Supplier listing indicates accessible rooms and a variety of view/king/double configurations.

Expect quieter, upscale rooms focused on comfort, privacy and full-service housekeeping.

Dining & drinks: many casual-to-steakhouse options vs curated fine-dining

The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower – Dining & drinks

The STRAT’s dining lineup leans broad and casual, plus the landmark revolving Top of the World.

  • Top of the World is a revolving fine-dining steakhouse more than 800 feet up (one entrée or $55 minimum per guest).
  • Casual options include STRAT Café, 108 Eats, Nunzio's Pizzeria, Starbucks and McCall's Heartland Grill (steakhouse/BBQ).
  • Several bars and lounges — View Lounge, REMIX Lounge, 108 Drinks — plus a poolside Swim & Social Bar & Café.

Good variety for groups and families who want everything from casual bites to a special-occasion tower dinner.

Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas – Dining & drinks

Waldorf Astoria focuses on refined dining and room service as part of its luxury offering.

  • Supplier listing notes restaurants, a bar and breakfast service; on-site dining geared toward upscale tastes.
  • Room service and breakfast in room are available; the hotel emphasizes calm dining experiences rather than high-energy bars.
  • Concierge can assist with reservations at on-site or nearby signature restaurants.

Better suited to travelers seeking quieter, higher-end meals and attentive service rather than casual late-night options.

Pools & signature amenity: rooftop tower rides and seasonal pools vs spa and calm pool time

The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower – Pools & signature amenity

The STRAT’s signature features are its observation tower, thrill rides and two seasonal pools including an adults-only rooftop.

  • Observation tower with Big Shot, SkyJump Las Vegas, and X-Scream rides; Top of the World revolving restaurant sits in the tower.
  • Swim & Social (8th floor) is family-friendly and included with hotel admission; WET24 (24th/25th floor) is adults-only (21+).
  • Pools are seasonal; outside food/drinks and glass containers are prohibited.

Ideal if you want attractions and pool experiences integrated with the hotel stay.

Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas – Pools & signature amenity

Waldorf Astoria’s signature focus is calm, upscale relaxation with a full-service spa and outdoor pool(s).

  • Supplier amenities list spa services (massage, sauna, salon) and an outdoor swimming pool with poolside bar.
  • No casino on-site, so pool and spa areas tend to be quieter than at casino resorts.
  • Daily housekeeping and concierge support enhance a low-key pool-and-spa experience.

Choose Waldorf Astoria for a more relaxed pool/spa environment and fewer on-property crowds.

Wellness & nightlife: fitness and live shows vs spa and subdued evenings

The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower – Wellness & nightlife

The STRAT combines 24-hour fitness with active nightlife and live-entertainment venues.

  • 24-hour Fitness Center on the Select Tower retail level (access for guests 16+ by room key).
  • On-site nightlife and live entertainment include L.A. Comedy Club, burlesque show Rouge, and weekend live music in lounges.
  • Casino floor and bars keep late-night energy high across the property.

For late-night entertainment, live shows and a lively casino scene, The STRAT is the better fit.

Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas – Wellness & nightlife

Waldorf Astoria emphasizes spa treatments and quieter evening dining rather than a nightclub or casino scene.

  • Full spa services and massage listed in supplier amenities, plus sauna and salon.
  • No on-site gaming means quieter nights and an emphasis on in-room dining or fine-dining experiences.
  • Concierge and valet services support low-key evenings and business traveler needs.

Waldorf Astoria is preferable for travelers who want subdued evenings and in-house wellness.
