The High-Life for Less: The STRAT Debuts Exclusive "True Locals" Rewards

Las Vegas Locals can now visit the STRAT observation deck at no charge.

Living in Las Vegas has its perks, and The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower just added a massive one to the list. While the rest of the world pays premium prices to see our skyline, residents now have a backstage pass to one of the most iconic properties on the Strip.

The STRAT has officially launched STRAT True Locals, a rewards program designed specifically for those of us who call Southern Nevada home. If you live within 50 miles of the resort, your Nevada ID is now a golden ticket to deep discounts on dining, thrills, and staycations.

What You Get with STRAT True Locals

The program is an extension of the existing True Rewards system, but with layers of benefits that are strictly for residents. Here is a breakdown of what you can expect, valid Sunday–Thursday (unless noted otherwise):

1. Dining & Drinks: Get 20% off your entire food and beverage bill at STRAT-operated venues. This includes the legendary Top of the World Steakhouse, CHĪ Asian Kitchen, and PT’s Wings & Sports. Plus, look out for 2-for-1 "beer of the month" specials at the casino bars.

2. The View from the Top: Members receive free admission to the Observation Deck for up to two guests. It is the perfect way to show off the city to visiting friends without the Strip price tag.

3. Adrenaline Rushes: If you are brave enough to tackle the Big Shot or X-Scream, you’ll enjoy 50% off thrill ride tickets.

4. Staycations: When you need a break from the daily grind, you can snag 50% off the best available hotel rates by booking directly and using code LOCAL25.

5. Pool Perks: Receive 20% off cabana rentals at Swim & Social pool

6. More Perks: The benefits extend next door to Atomic Golf with 25% off bookings, and you can find $20 tickets for the L.A. Comedy Club.

LAS Discounts Insider Tips

To make the most of this new program, keep these insider strategies in mind:

• Watch the Calendar: Most of these exclusive benefits (like dining and hotel discounts) are valid Sunday through Thursday. Plan your midweek "Vegas Vacation" to maximize the savings.

• Parking is the Exception: While many perks are midweek-only, local True Rewards members still get free self-parking seven days a week. This is a huge win for those weekend trips to the North Strip or the Arts District.

• The 50-Mile Rule: Ensure your Nevada ID reflects an address within 50 miles of the property. You will need to present this valid ID at the True Rewards Center to "unlock" the True Locals status on your card.

  
  

• Stack Your Rewards: Since this program is part of the broader True Rewards network, you can earn points at The STRAT and redeem them at multiple other locations, including your neighborhood PT’s Taverns.

Joining is free for anyone 21 and older. If you already have a True Rewards card, just head to the desk at The STRAT to ensure your local status is activated and start living the high life for less.
