The Skinny

The Tropicana Resort in Las Vegas just got a major face-lift.  It has been upgraded to look like the Mirage did 15 years ago, only maybe a little uglier.  The rooms are nice now and represent a good value.  The pool is partially restored to its former glory.  The restaurants are still lagging, there are still very rundown chunks of the joint, but at least they no longer have all those hucksters selling timeshares and tchotchkes in the halls.

Room Quality:

The Tropicana Resort in Las Vegas has some quite nice mid-priced rooms with a South Beach theme. They are a good size, have large, nice flat-screen TVs with HD programming, nice light colors, and iPod docks. The carpets are tan and burnt orange, and the bedding is white and fluffy.  The bathrooms are pretty standard, though.

Service Quality:

Good.  They have gotten rid of the time share and magnet sales kiosks, making it feel more like a resort.  Still, this is a mid-priced resort and the service commensurates that.

What You Get Bottles of in the Bathroom:

You get plain shampoo, conditioner, bath gel, and lotion, regardless of what part of the hotel you're staying in.  So, nobody will be able to sniff you and tell if you are low-rolling or living it up.

Clientele:

Not as popular with the jet set as it once was, it mostly draws an older clientele these days or families with kids looking for a tropical pool on a budget.

How's the Pool?

This place is pretty happening but what place wouldn't be after a $180 million renovation? There is a long meandering tropical lagoon pool with a small waterfall.  The decor is lots of white and wood and it looks like it's trying to be a classy Hollywood theme. There is swim-up blackjack.  There are many chaise lounges and a few upscale bungalows in the form of teepees around their pool club, Nikki Beach.  That pool club, by the way, is worth checking out now that they've poured a lot of dough into it.

Resort Fee:

The Tropicana Hotel and Casino Las Vegas has a resort fee of $19.99. You get internet, fitness center access, half off well cocktails, and beer and wine at the Tropicana Lounge from 5pm-8pm, 2 bottles of water, local and toll-free calls, faxes and copies, and boarding pass printing.

Is it Worth It?

If you are one of those people who likes to pretend Vegas has a beach then yeah, it's worth it.

Table Games:

Blackjack, craps, roulette, Let It Ride, Pai Gow, Three Card Poker. The games are pretty good for this area. The casino is sort of small compared to its neighbors, and it can get cramped.

Bet Minimums:

$10 at blackjack and craps and some of the oddball card games. The single-deck pays 6:5, so skip it at all bet levels.  There are 3x4x5x odds at craps, which is standard.  Roulette has $1 chips and a $5 minimum.

Machines:

Slots from a nickel on up to $10 in the high-roller area. There is a good selection of video poker, with full-pay in most denominations. You have to seek them out though, because they have lots of poor-paying machines, too. The Tropicana Hotel and Casino Las Vegas has lots of the new video reel games, but if those confuse you like they do us, you'll also find plenty of traditional reel slots to play.

Cocktails?

Fair.  As we have found in our arduous research, it is a chore to get drunk while playing slots or tables at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino Las Vegas.

Who Gets Comps?

They are pretty good for the neighborhood.  If you play $20 and up for a few hours at the tables, be sure to ask to be rated beforehand.  Of course, you better be nice and make sure the pit boss sees you playing.  The slot club is called the Trop Plus club.

Number of TVs:

There are about 14 screens positioned high on the walls and wrapping around the seating.  Two of the screens are very large.  There are also about five more screens in the little lounge area off to the side.

Number of Seats:

There are just under 100 seats in the main room, each with its own betting terminal and screen built into the desk.  The chairs are just okay for comfort.  They actually look more comfy than they are.  There is also a small lounge area off to the side with 17 leather lounge seats.

Number of Betting Windows:

Seven in the main area, two in the lounge and two upstairs.  The betting counter is slightly curved to match the room and the overhead screen.  There are electronic odds boards on either end of the TVs.

Free Drinks?

Yes, if you wager.  They won't just serve you for hanging around.  The Ambhar lounge is nearby, so if you want a drink, walk over there.

Snack Bar?

No.

Tropicana Hotel and Casino

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Island Tower that had a big room with a great view of the strip. After getting all crazy the first night, we ended up getting married. YES, MARRIED :) We had a blast! We were there for 3 nights and took in Extreme Magic and The Soprano's Dinner shows. Best part... they were all located within the hotel itself. From The Tropicana, it is an easy walk to the MGM Grand Hotel as well as New York New York Hotel and Casino.During the day, we worked on tanning our east coast bodies and drank like fish out by the pool and gardens.We grabbed a quick bite to eat at The Players Deli. Incredible deli sandwiches along with side salads and snacks. This hotel has old school Vegas charm; some what of the same feeling that you get from watching one of those old Vegas movies.

Re: Tropicana Hotel and Casino

Good location with nice people. Just needs a face lift which they are doing right now. The hotel is trying to keep up with the trends. Would I stay here again? Yes. Why? Because it will be all new the next time I arrive. Good location close to the airport and other hotels/casinos. It was worth what we paid, but it was also a very busy weekend and my options were limited.

Re: Tropicana Hotel and Casino

Tropicana Hotel and CasinoPositives: The casino there is very nice. I really liked the 5 dollar blackjack tables!! The hotel is centrally locatedThe Island Buffet was a great deal and tasted really goodNegatives: The indoor pool and hot tub was closed due to construction. We were not aware of this and these types of things are very important to know before arrival.The rooms were very outdated and were desperately in need of a remodel in which the hotel was in the middle of doing. Quite a bit of dust and debris around because of the remodel.The foldout bed was less than adequate.All-in-all, our experience here was just ok. I will be anxious to see how the hotel is after the remodel is completed. For the price we paid we were fine with the accommodations that we received.
