I have only been here once and it was just for a little bit after the Claire Sinclaire Pin Up show. But...
I love this place...being at the Space Needle a month prior I was really happy to have this "little version" in our city.
I went up after the show and I actually got to meet the lovely sweetheart Claire :)
Hubby and I ordered a couple of drinks and they were super duper yummy. Perfect! The cocktail waitress was very present and super prompt!
We are definitely going to come back on a Thursday early to catch that super duper happy hour that everyone talks about :)
I really think that the dated out restaurant that I peeped over the ledge and saw could really be something...seriously if they remodeled the place I'm sure it could be a super happening place. I would LOVE to see that happen. I'm not sure if they just make soooo much money because of the view that they do not need to do that...or it's the opp situation :)
This is a great place to get a great view of the strip and have a drink! Â It sits just above Top of the World restaurant, and you can actually see the restaurant slowly spinning below through the glass balconies, which is nice. Â Plenty of comfy seating, nice staff, and reverse happy hour starts at 10:30pm -- 2 for 1 drinks!! Â You can also see an occasional SkyJumper take the plunge off the top of the Stratosphere, which is fun to watch. Â The mint margarita is really good -- kind of similar to a mojito. Â The lobster bisque was pretty decent. Â The wings were SPICY, but good!
Review Source:The good: Delicious drinks, decent happy hour prices and an amazing view.
The bad: Terrible service! 4 of us went for happy hour, and we told the waitress before we ordered anything that we wanted separate checks. She said that because of how their system worked, it would be easier for her to split it up at the end. At the end of the meal she brought us a single check. We gave her our various payment methods and asked her to charge us for what we had ordered. She had no idea who had ordered what, so we grabbed a pen and wrote out each persons name, payment method, and a list of what they had ordered. She took the list and came back with 4 checks, but they were not split up correctly. Apparently because of how their system works, she was not able to split up 4 of the same cocktail into 2 on each check. We asked her to move something from one check to another to make it close enough, but she told us that because she had already split it up once, she would need her manager to split it up again, and her manager was downstairs (107 floors below). After waiting for the manager for a few minutes, we just paid the checks as they were because we were tired of waiting.
It would have been a different story if we had asked her for split checks at the end of the meal, but we specifically told her before we began ordering that we wanted to pay separately. Unless their computer system is really so deficient that it can't handle multiple checks at one table, she should have kept the checks separate in the first place as we requested, instead of telling us it would be easier to split at the end. Clearly, it was not. We ended up wasting half an hour trying to pay for what we ordered, and we still left having paid the wrong checks.
Went to Level 107 on a recent visit since we were at Encore and it was a short cab ride away. Â Went for HH (of course) and had a chocolate-raspberry martini and enjoyed some music. Â I agree with a PP who said the appetizer menu isn't great, but we ordered some stuffed peppers and they were good. Â Also, the view is best experienced from the observation deck (which is free from the lounge). Â The strip is pretty far away so my pics from the Eiffel Tower were better, but the overall experience at Level 107 was more fun. Â Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.
One thing to know is that during 2-for-1 HH, you get both drinks at once so hubby and I just agreed on what drink we would order and then split them.
One of the best 360 views in Vegas! Â Best viewing is from dusk and beyond when you can watch the city lights up like a Christmas tree as the night sets in.
It reminded me SO much of the Signature Lounge on the 96th in Chicago's Hancock Building with it's designated elevator that speeds you to the top and a restaurant one floor below that rotates. Â I was worried it would be super busy during happy hour, from 4-7pm, but surprisingly it wasn't. Â The main bar area was the busiest but there were plenty of tables to choose from all along the perimeter with great views. Â
Happy hour was half off appetizers and 2-4-1 martinis. Â I ordered a chocolate martini under the happy hour special and in no time I was seeing double. Â The happy hour simply doubles whatever flavor martini you order, so if you order two different martini's you'd end up with 4 cocktails. Â Talk about classy double fistin' that had me seeing DOUBLE. Â Martini's are normally $14.
Not only is the view amazing after dark, they have a live band that adds to the classy atmosphere.
Go before the sun starts to set, so you can get a good set!
As others say - you can see the dinning room spin below you!
Depending where you sit, you can see straight down the strip and see the lights turn on!
Staff is really friendly and helpful, i was doing the stair climb the next day - so i said - this is crazy but can i have a shirly temple - the bartender didn't blink an eye and said sure thing! He even offered up the 2 for 1 deal for me! Too cute!
The view, even from behind the bar, was nice!!
Definitely stop in, enjoy a beverage and the view!
Fun and a little disconcerting to watch the dining floor down below spin...you sorta wonder if you already had too much to drink. Â Food was fine, but the raw oysters was incredible! Â Pricey about $3 for one, but you're paying for the view in addition to the food quality. Â Service was fine. Â Waitress was a cute lady who was all over the place. Â
Duck sliders are no longer available? Â Waitress told us that, but seeing the dates on the reviews, I think she mu
st be confused.
I finally made it up to Level 107. It's literally one of the best deal in Las Vegas. How could it not be?
* When you go up there = free admission to Stratosphere. After you are done with your happy hour you can go to the observation deck for free.
* Delicious happy hour food. We pretty much inhaled ours and wanted more.
* 2 for 1 Martinis from 4-7 pm and they will bring both at once. I think they want you to chug! chug! chug!
Service was just so so, however it's a great spot to people watch since this lounge is literally above Top of The World Restaurant. You will get to see a lot of hair lines and bald spots.
Fun place, delicious food, and outstanding view = Level 107.
I am really a fan of Yelp review and trip advisor. Â The posted information is very informative for all travelers. Â This is a very good place for happy hour form 4-7:00 p.m. You just have to go all the way up by taking the elevator to 107 and sit any where to order happy hour not only at the bar. Â It also has live music on Saturday when we were there. Â The view, reasonable 1/2 off appertizer and the city view. Â I would recommend this lounge 107.
Review Source:This is the perfect place to take someone who has never been to Las Vegas. It's a unique experience that can be done for very cheap.
I'd recommend going at sunset for three reasons:
1) The view is fantastic. The sun sets behind the mountains, which gives them a glow as the city begins to light up.
2) 2 for 1 happy hour from 4 to 7 PM. This applies to martinis and appetizers only. Keep in mind that they bring both of your drinks at once, which makes things more fun.
3) The dining room on the 106th floor is bustling at dinner time and, yes, it rotates. Lean over the railing and check out the rotating clientele but be careful, you might experience some vertigo.
A few other things to note:
1) Live jazz!
2) Bungee jumpers will occasionally fly past the window.
3) The elevator that takes you to 107 is incredibly fast. It's not for those with weak stomachs.
4) The Deuce is an easy way to get there. Stratosphere has it's own bus stop.
Fantastic view and elegant drinks!
The 4-7 pm happy hour is a real deal. Although the drinks of 2 for 1 martini must be the same, you can share with the other person. So 2 of us only pay one drink's price.
All appetizers are half off. There are about 10 different choices. The tomato fondue is nice. It is practically a warm dip of tomato sauce with cheese for bread. The pork belly is delicious and juicy. We also had fried calamari.
There was live music starting from 6 pm. Services were great except the waitress kept forgetting our water.
We arrived around 5:30 pm and all the great seats were taken. So we sit at an inner table for 20 min until someone left. So for greater seats, probably have to arrive earlier. Coming before dark in winter can also watch the sunset.
As some other suggested, we went to the tower ticket booth directly to ask about the direction. It saved us a lot of time to search for the elevator directly connecting to the lounge. It would have been confusing if not asked.
After sitting about 1 and half hour, we went to elevator lounge to take the elevator to observation deck. Indeed a great experience. The ride alone for observation deck would have cost $18 bucks per person. With the lounge food and drinks, it is free.
Off-peak season + noontime + weekday = an empty Level 107 Lounge. But it's okay, we weren't looking for anything but a reason to say that we had drinks at the top of the Stratosphere.
We sat down and the gruff bartender greeted us with a, "What do ya want?" Actually, what he said before that was to ask for ID because we look like middle schoolers BUT WHATEVER, that's beside the point. We spotted a lychee liqueur and asked him what he could make with it. He took the bottle in his hands, stared at it, and shrugged. Okay, so why is it prominently displayed on the shelf right behind you? I was about to suggest a lychee martini but alas! He redeemed himself as he started listing ingredients for a drink he made up off the top of his head and we agreed that it sounded good. I can't remember for the life of me what he put in it (I know, I'm so helpful) but it was great and he charged us reasonably. The only problem was that it was so easy to drink and it was in a large cup - I didn't realize until I got up from the bar how potent it was. I'm not the type of person to get buzzed after one drink but I got a good one out of this.
Next time I'm in town, I'll try this place out at night for drinks and the view.
The only way I can describe my experience here is strange. Really, really, strange.
Everyone in the hotel seemed confused about how to get to the lounge (about as confused as I was as to what the theme of this hotel was supposed to be). We waited in a line to get to the top which was the wrong line, and then finally stumbled into the correct elevator of doom. It felt a little like a horror movie. I couldn't understand what the man working the elevator was saying other than something about how it was "windy tonight" right before we were going up 107 floors. Awesome.
I was so happy to make it to the top. Really. I was seeing my life flash before me. The view is absolutely stunning, probably the most fantastic view of the strip. Unfortunately, once you see the view and take a seat, the strange-ness continues. It took way too long for a cocktail server to notice us, and then she explained the happy hour menu in the most confusing way possible: two for one martinis, but we could split the two for one, but if we did that, we'd have to do the same flavor, like he'd get two of one flavor, and I'd get two of one flavor, and the confusing explanation went on and on, and I was quite relieved to see the couple sitting next to us looked equally perplexed. After no one came back for our order, we moved to the bar, where a bartender who seemed very confused in general, not just about the menu, took our order. He mixed a box juice martini in front of us, spilling the extras, and then realizing he had only made half a martini each, refilled his drink mixer with soda water, pouring it into our glass after shaking it a minute.
A happy hour appetizer that we ordered came out about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes later. It was supposed to be a fondue, but it really tasted like microwave tomato sauce and stale garlic bread.
So we took the elevator back down and I was even more scared this time because there were more people, and I thought it was going to turn into one of those single location thrillers on an elevator where everyone in the elevator is trying to guess who the killer is.
I visited Level 107 Lounge at the Stratosphere for their 2 for 1 happy hour. They have a great deal: buy one $14 Martini and get a second for free! And there is no charge to take the long elevator ride up to the top of the stratosphere. I arrived just as the sun was setting and got the best of both worlds when I enjoyed the view. The appetizers were also half off and the tomato fondue with cheese and crustini's was delicious! The server was very friendly, but very busy. Level 107 would have recieved 5 stars if it didn't take 20 minutes to recieve a drink after ordering. But all in all this place was lovely and I would definitely recommend it for happy hour and for the stunning view!
Review Source:This bar has a great happy hour.
All apps are 1/2 off and Specialty Martini's are 2 for 1 which is fab.
The calamari was delicious as well as the portabella mushroom. Â The cheese plate they have give you large serviings of cheeses and the sliders were OK.
Martini's, I dont think you can go wrong with them.
The view is great and the service is also great. Â I would make this a requirement if you are staying at the Strat. Â This bar is just nice and you can't beat the view from the top!
After working the National Show for Pet Retailers I looked on Yelp for a place to head to before my red-eye flight. Â Having never been to the Stratosphere previously I honestly didn't have any preconceptions before arriving and valet parking the rental car.
The great thing about Level 107 Lounge is the view. Â Seriously all the prior reviews that keep boosting about the view just don't begin to give you an idea of how fantastic the views are when you step off the elevator. Â I took a billion photos. Â
Had a couple glasses of wine, an appetizer and salad = all very well done and the service was excellent. Sometimes when you are you eating by yourself you can be easily forgotten but that night (09/13/12) the waitress was excellent. Â
The added bonus - you can take the elevator for free up to the top level and walk around the outside observation deck and the views (again, sorry) are fantastic. Â
Will definitely make it a destination whenever I go with friends to Las Vegas.
This place is a bit of hassle to find and go to. Once you do find the place, the view is pretty spectacular. Best view of the Strip and surrounding areas of the Strip. I immediately started taking pictures and my friend said, don't you live here? I was acting like a tourist. I couldn't get over how amazing the view is. I did feel a bit dizzy though since I do not like high places and the bar would shake a little which startled me. lol. The bar also rotates a little which is pretty neat. Â
So anyway, my friends and I went for their happy hour. We ordered a few appetizers and drinks. I liked their jumbo shrimp cocktail with mango lobster avocado ceviche the best. I would definitely go back for that. The other appetizers were alright-calamari and tomato cheese fondue with bread. My friend ordered the vanity martini which is a gin martini rimmed with pop rocks (one of my favorite childhood candies). It was good. I liked his drink better than my mango cocktail.
Service was professional and all the staff we talked to were friendly. The manager stopped by our table to ask if everything was ok. I like it when they do that. Heh.
I would definitely go back for the view, Â excellent service, the shrimp cocktail, and the half price martinis.
Gorgeous views, one of a kind experience!
Hit up the happy hour for 2 for 1 martinis and half off apps. I've been here twice and each time was the same friendly, near flawless service from the capable and kind cocktail wait staff.
Last time was on Saturday night - we got to enjoy the sparkling view and catch a few glimpses of bungee jumpers falling in front of the windows from above.
We opted for a first round of specialty martinis and then finished up with dirty Bombay martinis along with the shrimp cocktail and lobster mango ceviche, Â pork belly and sliders.
All extra yummy! Intimate, low key vibe - good for groups or just a romantic drink.
10 out of 10 - would bang!
I love this place because:
1)The happy hour specials are worth the trip (2 for 1 martinis)!
2) The incredible view of the Strip and city from the lounge is outstanding = great ambiance.
3)Also, the food is good and reasonably priced.
4)The staff have been nice each time we've visited. :)
Situated at the top of the Stratosphere, Level 107 likely boasts one of the best views of the Las Vegas skyline. Â After a tiring Friday evening, we retreated to this lounge for a much-needed nightcap. Guests of the Stratoshphere are shuttled to the top where the lounge is located without charge; however, all others must pay a nominal fee before boarding the elevators.
Upon entry, I was immediately stunned and bowled over by the 360 degree panoramic view. Truly breathtaking. The lounge also rotates at a slow pace. How many revolutions per hour is unknown to me, but it was a subtlety that I only picked up on after my astute travel companion pointed it out. The ambience is dark, romantic and casual. I didn't pick up on any overt, pretentious elements, and I was grateful for that, especially considering I was wearing a t-shirt and shorts.
Sadly, the lovely views are about all Level 107 has going for it. I was disheartened, to say the least, by the outrageous prices. The majority of the appetizer menu was graced by items that were in the $20+ range. Needless to say, we decided to pass and save our appetites for the following morning. My vodka cranberry was modest in size, was watered down, and set us back around $10. Â Seriously, I don't mind paying $10 for a cocktail, but it better be damned good. Unfortunately, this one was just 'meh.'
Undoubtedly, if you are looking to score some extra points with your significant other, Level 107 is probably a spot to have on your short list of romantic dining possibilities. Just be sure to bring a fat wallet.
This spot is awesome. Â The food was good, the drinks were reasonable, the little jazz combo was fun, there was hardly anyone there, and the view is nothing short of epic. The best part is, you avoid the $18 elevator fee to go to the top of the Stratosphere tower if you mention that you are coming here or to the restaurant on the next floor down. Â Sweet effing titties, right?
The service left a little to be desired (a "gin gimlet" is not just gin, ice, and a lime wedge homey), but that's sort of how it goes in Vegas. Â No big deal.
This pertains to the happy hour menu.
The Skinny: poor execution despite the good quality of the ingredients (2.5) the service was okay but the view is awesome! (3) value: probably would just get the roasted tomato cheese fondue and call it a day - everything else was a dud (2.5).
I have a general rule of thumb when it comes to eating out. And that rule is this: if a place has an amazing view, the food ain't gonna be that great. Unfortunately Level 107 comes into this category.
To repeat what other Yelpers are saying about how to get here: you need to check in  at the Top of the World Restaurant conceirge desk so you can skip the line of people heading up the Strat. The conceirge desk will direct you to a much shorter security line. Given the ease of getting up the Strat, it really makes sense to hit the 107 for a drink if you want to check the Stratosphere out instead of waiting in this long line just to get up there.
Once we got there, we gorged ourselves because quite frankly we were starving. We ordered the roasted tomato/cheese fondue, the Tower trio, and the Vietnamese sliders (Banh mi). FYI-portion sizes are generous.
I hate to say it but the Vietnamese sliders were a complete fail. Where's the crusty bread? Where's the cilantro? Where's the lovely crunchy pickled veggies? Where's the well seasoned meat inside? The anemic, flavourless little sandwiches do not qualify as a banh mi. The bun was overly soft, the duck was bland and tough and was quite frankly overwhelmed by the limp shredded daikon/carrot pickle. A fail. Would definitely pass of this item.
Next, we tried their Tower trio --- and it just didn't work. Too many discordant flavours melding together and the textural violation of the anemic scallops make this dish a pass. The foie gras was okay but was lost in the overly sweet sauce.
Personally, the true favourite of the night was the tomato fondue - the lovely smoky taste of tomato matched really well with the cheese. Served with some crostini it is something I would definitely order again.
Given what we tried here, I would say that we are not likely to come back for the food with the exception of the tomato fondue and only if it is happy hour. If it's going to be the novelty of getting one of the nicer views in Vegas, then stopping by the lounge for happy hour is the way to to do it.
The view, the view, the view. Â You don't need to know anything more than that. Â Seeing the whole valley from this high up is really spectacular.
Fortunately, the old-school cocktail lounge has plenty of other charm as well. Â Yes, it looks a little dated, but not in a dirty or worn-out way. Â It's retro-chic. Â It could certainly use a refresh, but making it look like Wynn would actually be a step down. Â There are so few places left on the Strip that are reminiscent of days past, and this is a welcome retreat.
As everyone else has suggested, I went for the happy hour special. Â While I have paid $14 for a martini in the past, I much prefer paying $14 for TWO martinis. Â The only catch here is that you have to get two of the same kind and they are both served immediately. Â This is kind of a bummer for martinis and manhattans since the second one will be room temperature when you start it.
The drinks are strong, theyre big, and they do the job. Â We sampled the duck banh mi sliders, and they were fantastic. Â There was a little too much bread that was a little too soft (by banh mi standards anyway), but otherwise the meat and veggies were great. Â
Overall this was a great way to spend the early evening. Â I've already decided that I will return, and I hope to find an occasion to dress up a little since this place seems like it needs to be more classy. Â Definitely check it out, you won't be disappointed.
I've been here for happy hour countless times. Â By far the best place to take out of town guests, because the view of the valley is fabulous. Â Or if that view doesn't do it for ya, you can check out the cleavage of the diners below you at the restaurant. Â
Happy hour is from 4-7 and features half price appetizers and buy one get one free martinis.  I used to order a ciroc martini - for $14 I would get two, and get pretty deliciously buzzed!  Unfortunately, they just changed their policy for happy hour martinis - you can't choose your alcohol anymore  :(  Thus, they only get 4 stars now. Â
The mango martini is a favorite, the blueberry was tasty, they had a key lime pie one too that we liked. Â
There is usually live music that adds to the ambiance, as well as human bodies falling from the sky past the windows as they jump from the top of the Stratosphere. Â
I love the ahi tuna appetizer, I eat it as dinner. Â My boyfriend always orders the beef sliders. Â The calamari is pretty good too. Â
If you show up closer to 7, it can be hard to find a seat. Â Plan to have to walk through the casino, climb an escalator, meander through security and wait for an elevator before you even arrive. Â
It helps if you make it a point to have something awkward in your purse for the purse check part of security.
Now this lounge is added to my fav list in Las Vegas.
Wonderful place! Huge (beer size) drinks for $14. Fantastic view.
Our friend decided to jump out of the Stratosphere/ we were like - ok go ahead we will watch your jump in the bar.
So we went to the bar and we were seating just right nest to the place where these suicidal people were flying.
We ordered Margaritas - mmm yammy huge margaritas!
Our waitress was a fun she made plenty of jokes. Service was really good.
Note: the lounge is not moving. only restaurant 1 floor under the bar is moving (like westin in Downtown LA)
Thus seating in the bar you can see all people who is dining and all people who is jumping and enjoy the view and drinks
Great place for me and my 40+ friends to hang, chill, laugh, listen to sultry jazz over-looking Sin City. Â There are a few distraction like the other reviewers have stated, however once you are there and settle in to the view, you forget all about it. Â This place definitely has SWAGG
LVCPLS
Strike another one from the Bookmarks list.
I think about the things that attract me to any given bar:
* a good cocktail list (check: 107 has a decent selection of martinis and specialty cocktails)
* bargains (check: 2 for 1 martinis, 5-7 every night)
*something old-timey or vintage (check: it's the Stratosphere, for God's sake! Check out the neighborhood...)
*a hip atmosphere (not quite, but everything else makes up for it. The clientele here run the gamut from young midwesterners ordering Long Islands to a tour bus load of old ladies to me and B - good-looking, trendy, but not hipster, locals who enjoy a good cocktail, obviously!)
*a view (check, check, triple check! This place is on the 107th floor, with windows all around so you can see everything from North Town to Sunrise Mountain to Red Rock...oh, and The Strip, too)
Level 107 delivers on most accounts, and it's not very well-known, so you feel like you've find some kind of diamond in the rough, too. From now on, I will be taking discerning out-of-towners and interested locals here regularly!
Pros:
Hands down, the view. It's amazing how small everything looks from the top. Â The Strip doesn't seem so long and the casinos look a lot closer together. Â Also, wow, the golf course behind the Wynn looks amazing!
The food and drinks during happy hour are good. It's still pricey but comparable for the Strip. Only martinis are half price during happy hour. I had a mango martini, which was good.
Cons:
Getting to the tower is kind of a pain.
The elevator ride up was also a bit scary. It was rattling and loud - two words I do not want to combine with an elevator ride, particularly one that goes that high. As one co-worker put it, it's like being in Tower of Terror at Disneyland. Â Thankfully, the elevator guy didn't seem alarmed (in fact, he may have been asleep), so he and the older couple heading to Top of the World kept me from having a panic attack.
Overall, it was a fun experience, I think mainly because of the view. The food and drinks were okay, but not something I'm sure I'll go back to anytime soon.
I've only been up here maybe 4 times in the last 5 years but I say it to my wife everytime we're there. Â
"We should come here more often!"
But I'm not crazy about the rest of the Stratosphere from the non-walkable distance to anything else on the strip to the depressing faux-Chinese (wtf?) shopping area you walk through to get to the elevator to the lack of great dining options. Â That's the hold up. Â
It's a totally different story once you get up to Level 107 though. Â The vibe is one of a kind for Vegas and the drink selection is pretty decent. Â They're also surprisingly strong.
I strongly recommend taking out of towners here, especially if it's their first time to Sin City. Â Happy hour with a sunset would be terrific.
I was recently here for a college alumni event and I have to admit I was surprised we were doing a happy hour event at the Stratosphere...Stratosphere?? However, I ate my words. Although the decor is a bit dated, this lounge is definitely a hidden gem on the Strip.
If you don't want the glitz and look-at-me vibe of cocktails at Champagne Bar or other lounge cocktail venues on the Strip, Level 107 Lounge is a good choice. The decor and lighting are dark and the view from the 107th floor is gorgeous.
Like others have mentioned, the happy hour specials consisted of 2 for 1 martinis and half off appetizers. I had dinner plans for later that night so I just went to the event for some cocktails and they did not disappoint.
Order the mango martinis! YUM!
Not sure about this place. Â On one hand, it seems to be a well-kept secret with great views and comfortable seating. Â On the other hand, it's a pain in the ass to get to (probably why it's a well-kept secret) and the drinks are so-so. Â Plus their happy hour (4-7pm) is like Ruby Tuesday - 2 for 1 martinis but each purchaser must drink both drinks, NO SHARING... what the hell is that about?
The food was surprisingly good. Â Half-price appetizers between 4-7pm. Â I particularly liked the sliders. Â The view was awesome. And they have free wifi! Â But I don't think I'll be back unless I have tourists in town who want to go to the top of the Stratosphere and save the $18. Â
Now, if you still want to go, here's how to get there: Â Follow the signs to the Tower Level, go up the escalator, and then walk towards the Top of the World restaurant hostess stand. Â Nevermind that there is a sign for Level 107 near the entrance for the rides. Â You don't want to go that way. Â And do not listen to any Stratosphere employees who tell you otherwise.
Take a left at the Top of the World hostess stand into a narrow hallway. Â You'll pass a photographer's studio and it will feel like you are going the wrong way, but you are not. Â Once you reach the cheesy airport security setup, you are almost there! Â Prepare for metal detector and bag check. Â (So many bars at the top of casinos in this town but this is the only one with a metal detector and bag check... why?)
Once you are through security, wait for the elevator and mentally prepare yourself for the canned speech the elevator operators will give you.
Getting out is another issue entirely. Â Once you get off the elevator and escalator back to the second level of the tower, there is no escalator or stairs down to the casino floor. Â So you have to squeeze into an elevator and take it one floor down. Â There's an elevator operator in there too, who will chat you up, but they don't have much to say because it's only one floor. Â Then you are free. Â Escape! Â Escape the Stratosphere!
As if Level 107 couldn't get any more perfect, they have an awesome happy hour (1/2 appetizers and 2-for-1 martinis) from 4pm to 7pm.
The appetizers I tried were yummy in my tummy:
The Chicken Wings (more like Chicken Lollipop/Drummettes) come in 5 and are big and meaty. The "wings" are fried to crispy perfection, and are then covered in a delicious sweet and spicy sauce and drizzled with blue cheese.
The Cheese Fondue (blend of cheeses like ricotta and tomato sauce) served with crispy slices of French Bread brushed generously with olive oil- Amazing as it sounds
The Calamari was good, but not great. Some pieces could have been crispier. The sauces (Wasabi cream and spicy/sweet Asian sauce) were good, however.
Ahi Tuna Tartare- Tuna slices encase a mound of salad, topped with crispy, thin potato chips. Fresh, good and nice presentation.
Our server, Irene, was great! She took care of our large party no problem with charming hospitality. Service alone deserves 5 stars!
Forget room with a view. I want a full-on circle lounge that goes all the way around with a view and a bad as bad chocolate martini, and guess what? I can get just that at Level 107. Why pay to go to the top, when you can throw back a tasty adult beverage and experience Vegas from up high for free?
Yes, it is a bit tricky to find, but that is just an added bonus for locals, as we have more time to commit to finding the place. The key is apparently to, "Stay to the right!" Whatever you do, don't go left, and don't give up.
You can say what you want about the Stratosphere, but minus the one lady who was yelling, "Stay to the right!," the entire staff at this towering needle of pleasure are phenomenal. All of the elevator attendants are charming, and every server I have encountered have always been super informed, gracious and professional. It really feels like classic Vegas service (or at least how I imagine classic service because I wasn't around in the 60s!).
The lounge is sexy and secluded and comfortable. The drinks, which were half-priced thanks to Yelp Drinks, were delicious. The chocolate martini was everything you loved about chocolate milk enhanced by everything you love about alcohol.
I haven't tried the food, but I will be back soon to correct that situation. I could get used to the high life.
