Golden Entertainment announced today 10/23/17 that it has completed the acquisition of the Stratosphere and both Arizona Charlie's Casinos in Las Vegas and the Aquarius in Laughlin. Previous owner was American Casino & Entertainment Properties.

The Sportsbook Bar and the C Bar both have 25c and $1 7/5 BP as the best game but the progressive has been removed from that game. Some games are still available at the bars with progressives but with lower paytables.

Host list has been updated.

Revised host list: http://www.vpfree2.com/casino/stratosphere-hotel/hosts

All Stratosphere video poker listed (98.91% and higher) has been downgraded.

The only $2 8/5 BP that I've seen there lately has been removed. It was at the main bar.

All the 9/6 JoB in and near hi limit has been downgraded to 9/5; BP to 7/5. Did not check BP at bars or elsewhere.
