It's the tallest tower west of the Mississippi River and also the tallest structure in Las Vegas and in the state of Nevada. The hotel is a separate building with 24 stories, 2,427 rooms and an 80,000 sq ft (7,400 m2) casino.

The project integrated portions of the prior Vegas World hotel-casino, which Stupak opened on the website in 1979. The Stratosphere opened on April 30, 1996. In March 2018, Golden Entertainment announced plans for $140 million renovation of the Stratosphere that will be unveiled in three stages. Golden Entertainment announced in February 2019 the resort would be rebranded into The Strat Hotel, Casino and SkyPod. The name change became official in January 2020.
