Level 8

Level 8 heißt deshalb so, weil es sich um den 8. Stock des Stratosphere Hotels handelt.
Und dort befindet sich der Pool des Stratospheres. Wir waren im August 2014 Gäste des Hotels und haben den Pool mehrmals besucht. Auf den Fotos der Internetseiten sieht dieser allerdings schlechter aus, als er in Wirklichkeit ist.
Der gesamte Bereich ist recht groß und man konnte immer ein ruhiges Plätzchen finden. Liegen sind ausreichend vorhanden und Handtücher gibt es «unbegrenzt». Der Pool selbst ist schön groß, so dass man sich auch in den Spitzenzeiten noch wohlfühlen kann. Man blickt direkt auf den Stratosphere Tower und kann denjenigen, die sich trauen, beim Skyjump aus über 300m. Höhe zusehen. Der einzige Nachteil ist, dass es, bedingt durch die Lage im 8. Stock, keine schattenspendenden Bäume gibt.
Allerdings hat man viele Sonnenschirme aufgestellt, die zumindest die direkte Sonneneinstrahlung etwas verringern.

Loveeee this place! We’ve come to the pool everyday and have received great service, drinks and food. Abe is by far the best bartender there! He has a great personality and was so helpful. He gave us tips on where to eat and where to hang out while we stayed here!

This place is awesome! So much fun! I’ve been here 3 times and each time is better than the last! I celebrated my bachelorette party there and it was definitely a trip to remember! Drinks are delicious and the bartenders are what really make this place so fun. Matt is the best! Go see him when you’re in Vegas! Can’t wait to come back!

Amazing! This bar has the best staff in Vegas! They remembered our group of girls from 3 years ago and we had to come stay at the stratosphere again because of the pool bar staff! Matt is the most friendly and literally makes a drink like a champ! The pool is really enjoyable and large and not over crowded which is nice. We will be back in another 2 or 3 years to see him again!

I absolutely love this place. We have stayed at the Stratosphere twice in the past 3 years and Level 8 is hands down the best pool bar/​lounge out there. The customer service is exceptional as well as the food and drinks! I come to this bar mainly because of Matt, the bartender. He is wonderful and has the best personality. He makes our visits so much fun and always remembers us! I wish all bartenders were as awesome as he is!!!

The pool isn’t heated so it’s not enjoyable to swim in this time of the year. The prices are kinda high & there are kids running around all crazy splashing everyone. The view is AMAZING! Wish the pool was heated would have given in 4 stars then.

AWESOME! We had a lot of fun up here. My group stayed at the Stratosphere recently and we obviously had to go check out the pool area. It was so nice up there; the sun was perfect it was like they strategically placed us there and time stood still.
We actually came twice but this didn’t exist so I had to add it to the directory to check in here. I was shocked it wasn’t already listed! I searched but found nothing but that’s okay. Here now.
The bar area is small, maybe about 10 – 15 chairs but the service is good there. I got a garden California salad with the chicken it was delicious. De-​lish! Whoa! And I had our kind bartender whip me up a special frozen long island, yum. it went away too quick. Prices were about right for what I was getting the salad was $ 10 and the drink was $ 9 and then taxes.
They also had a server walking around for people; we chose to go to the bar though. Even though it wasn’t terribly busy with people, she was busy with the people she had, which was fine for us.
The entrance is either through the hallway down floor 8 or from the casino on the left there at the entrance. You can get a towel up there and the pool is pretty large, the hot tub is oddly shaped though. I took a bunch of photos but I felt like a weirdo trying to take a picture of the pool as you could imagine why.
Tons of chairs available, some private tents and you can see the top of the Stratosphere where the jumper people are and the view is pretty neat. I didn’t have to use the restrooms but I’m sure they were alright, there were a lot of cleaners around with laundry bins and such.
I definitely recommend this spot to soak up some sun in the afternoon and recoup after a night of drinking!
