Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Las Vegas (Strip North) Stratosphere Tower

[jb107756]

My fault for not checking that the Stratosphere had been upgraded from a 3 star to 3.5 star, so I am quite disappointed in the location. Annoying resort fee though less than most.

27.00 x 3 = 81 + taxes and fees of 17.13 = 98.13;  Mandatory fee of $83.97 is collected at the hotel. Total - $182.10.

Used BB's PRICELINE link as usual.

Sorry to hear you landed a hotel that you didn't expect and the location doesn't work as well for your needs.  However, while in this area do check out the SLS which i hear is nice, and is also opening a W Hotel as a 'hotel within a hotel'.

Thank you for using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your purchase and sharing your win, helping us update the Priceline Hotel List with the new star rating for this property.

Enjoy your stay.

thereuare - Looks like the fact that they have gone from 3 stars to 3 1/2 stars has been used as justification to jack their resort fee to $27 per night, and based on my charges, a tax on the top of that. Probably the amount listed under PRICELINE EXPRESS Deals should be updated to reflect this change.

I doubt the hotel changed their resort fee based upon their HOTWIRE star rating... more likely a result of fees going up on Vegas (just general price increases over time, the MGM now charging for parking at all hotels, nearby competitors increasing their fees, etc)
