A solution may be saving BEFORE entering the building and wait a couple of hours, but I haven't tried it yet. Am i stuck now, or do you get another opportunity or ways of traveling to the strip? Very broken quest still as far as I can tell. He is in the tower. On the other side of the door he glitches going around in circles while disappearing and reappearing as if he is going in and out of the door.
