2. Some people might say that Stratosphere is a little 'out of the way' compared to the other hotels on the Strip, but because it's near downtown (and thus Fremont experience) I thought the location was just fine (we did have a rental car so you might want to take into account hiring one, it's the best way to get around in Vegas if you want to see more than 'just' the strip and downtown)Go to Red rock canyon if you have some time.
