the hotel itself is fine for what it is (a low end hotel). much nicer than the quad (not that thats saying much) and on about the same level as the riv... not taking location into account, i would choose the strat over the riv, tbh.
As noted earlier, the main problem is distance to the strip. It is walkable if you like to walk. Very safe during the day. Fairly safe at night. At a guess, id say its maybe a mile-ish to the circ/riv, which is where most people agree the strip begins. Maybe like 1.5 miles to the wynn.
Renting a car is going to be cheaper/easier than cabbing it. If youre <25 sign up for hertz gold family (free but you have to put a cc on file) and get no surcharge.
If youre too cheap to do either one of those, the strat is relatively close to the sahara monorail station. However, if there are more than two people on your party, it might be cheaper just to cab iut rather than buy mono tickets for everyone.
