Most likely a fuel leak or sticking injector. Try injector cleaner first to see if it helps. It probably won't but it's worth a try.

What would cause a 2000 Nissan Altima to have a rough startup and a strong gas smell?

Just a guess, but it might be a leaking fuel line, meaning the injectors aren't getting enough fuel into the cylinders, and that's also where the smell is coming from.The other thing you could check is your spark plugs. It sounds strange, i know, but I've seen that happen. If your spark plug isn't sparking, you'll smell gas, because it isn't getting burned. Also would explain your rough starting.
