Tropicana Las Vegas

Hotel was great overall, not too crowded while we were there for three days. Casino was nice.
Everything was clean and seemed updated. Rooms were spacious and clean. Pool was large and had plenty of sitting area so it never felt crowded.
Only complaints would be prices of drinks and food but it’s Vegas so you can’t expect much there. Also our A/​C in our room never seemed to get cold. Ended up sleeping on top of sheets because it was too hot.

Very small casino. This an older hotel with some recent renovations. It’s a Hilton hotel now and I would expect better. Poor layout wig post signage. Rich Little doing the same impersonations as if it was 1982.

AC was recently renovated — and not in a good way. They installed new thermostats that only go down to 66 degrees. The old ones went down to 60. They also have a sensor on them that turns it off if you leave the room after 20 minutes. Results — room is hot as F. It’s freaking 107 deg average temperature right now. Stop trying to save money. Probably gonna lose my business and I will be coming here 1 to 2 times a month for work now.

My hubby checked in on Tuesday because he arrived early for work. He literally falls into bed every night so he didn’t noticed any of the issues that hit me as soon as I walked in.
The kids and I arrived on last night, Friday, and I cannot believe that this is a Hilton establishment. We have a room in the club tower, which is the older tower. The condition of the room is far below what we have experienced at last Hilton in VA. We got a double, and I found a stained on the pillow on the bed that hasn’t been used, see picture attached. The bathtub is very gross with an embedded foot print of a previous guest that has permanently stained it, see photo. All in all the hotel went through some cosmetic upgrade, but if you look, you can see the wear and tear and the age of the hotel.
If you are like my hubby and only come back to the room when you are dead tired then the Tropicana is fine, but if you are traveling with kids like I am, I do not recommend this.
Today is Saturday and we are here until Tuesday. I will provide additional updates as I experience them. Stay tune.,
* update 3:47pm Saturday… Look what my son found at the bottom of the pool. It fell off the wall … See attached pic

I just got back from Vegas and stayed here from may 25^th thru May 28^th. My understanding is $ 200 Million was recently spent on upgrades. .. in my opinion the money was not spent wisely. My room was not great to say the least. Carpet was old, bathroom counters and sinks had been upgraded but bath/​shower was about 20 years old and wall paper was pieced together badly. Also leaky faucet in the shower. No refrigerator or coffee makers in rooms unless you ask for them. Room was small. Impossible to get a comfortable temperature, either cold or hot.
Restaurants were not impressive except for the Bacio– it was fantastic! Very little selection at other eating places. The 24 hour place looked like a hospital cafeteria. .. not inviting.
Customer service was very good especially, Gwendolyn, in the VIP CENTER. She made the experience worthwhile.
I will say the casino was not smoky which was surprising. Casino was very small and didn’t pay out well at all.
I stayed at The Borgota in Atlantic City in January this year and I feel the Tropicana should try to copy the atmosphere, restaurants, and décor if they truly want to «shine» in Las Vegas.
I would not stay there again.

I don’t see how this hotel gets great reviews. We were here for our one year anniversary, and completely disappointed. We were «upgraded» to the Paradise Tower which was nothing but average. I saw nothing special about our room. To make it completely worse, the air conditioning was HORRIBLE. We slept without blankets each night. We told two different employees, and neither one of them apologized or corrected the situation. Not to mention ordering four bottles of water via room service was $ 45. We will never book here again. I’m not going into detail about other issues because maybe you will have a better experience. Good luck.

This review is for the casino only since I have never stayed in the rooms.
I remember my first visit to the Tropicana in the year 2000. As a great lover of all Las Vegas history, I have a profound appreciation of how long the Tropicana has endured on the Las Vegas Strip. But the Tropicana of 2000 was a dingy, run down shell of its former self.
In late 2009– early 2010-​ish, the Tropicana received a much needed renovation. They decided to go for a south beach Miami-​ish feel.
(+) the casino looks/​smells so much cleaner. Gone is the questionable stank of the old Trop
(+) I love that they did keep the stain glass above the pit. This is a classic piece of Vegas that should NEVER be replaced.
In a weird way, I do miss the old Tropicana. I saw Wayne Newton perform in the Tiffany Theater back in 2009 and it really felt like old school, classic Vegas! Danke Schoen. baby!
Other tidbits.
— they do have a Cantor Gaming Race and Sports Book on property for your race and sports gaming needs.
— as of last word, they are not charging for parking. I can’t see how they can possibly keep that up considering that almost all other properties on that intersection are MGM properties (therefore are charging for parking). I anticipate that they will charge for parking in the very near future.
The slots have not been kind to me, but I still kind of like the Trop. There is a lot of Vegas history here and you can still catch glimpses of it, if you look closely enough!
3 stars.
A-​Ok.

Nice experience, everyone was friendly and helpful. Yes, the trek to club tower was looong but it gets a few more steps in so we can feel less guilty about eating so much on vacation.
The room was clean and nice but there is no bathroom ventilation which is a problem when multiple people are showing and trying to get ready. It was also difficult to regulate the temperature in the room.
The casino floor is small but the property has close and easy walking access to several other casinos.

I booked a Sunday– Thursday (4 night stay) at this hotel. I stayed in the Club Tower which is about a 10 minute walk to the back of the Tropicana property. The hotel should issue segues for the guests to get back and forth from the casino to the Club Tower because it’s way too far from the entrance.
Then came the room. I was not at all happy with this hotel room. I was assigned to a room on the 17^th floor and the room smelt like smoke. Needless to say, I don’t smoke and I hate the smell of smoke. Also the bed sheet had a weird stain on it (see picture). It Looked like some type of organic fluid. I called the front desk to ask for a different room and didn’t get an answer after calling the first time. Called a second time and still no answer. Finally got an answer after the 3^rd call to the front desk. When they answered, the said that the smoky smell was probably due to the 18^th floor being a smoking floor so they moved me to the 12^th floor. The room on the 12^th floor was better and there was no smokey smell in that room.
I also used the Tropicana workout facility thinking it was included in my daily rate. Unfortunately, I was wrong. I used the hotel gym for 2 days of my 4 day stay. However, the hotel charged me for 4 days. Beware, this hotel will charge you $ 35 per day just for using the workout faculty. If you use it for 1 day, they will charge you for each day of the entire length of your stay.
Although I had a «view» of the Vegas strip skyline, you should be made aware that there is a thick black screen that obstructs your view through the window.
Finally, when I called for a late checkout on Thursday, the front desk was adamant about not letting me checkout past 12 noon unless I paid an additional $ 55. So, I opted to leave at just before 12 noon on my last day. However, on my last day I was interrupted by hotel staff 4 times between the hours of 10am-11:30am. The first time, someone entered my room at 10:30am without knocking and without announcing who they were. Then, at 11am, the same person came back stating that he had to clean the carpet. At 11:15 and 11:30, hotel maid service came asking if they could clean the room. They never did this on days 1 – 3 of my stay.
Overall, I am unhappy with this hotel and have no plans to return. The only reason why I stayed at this hotel was because the MGM, where my conference was being held, had no more rooms available.

My Mother and I recently watched a Filipino concert at the showroom and the place is nice and furthermore, the employees are quite nice. What a refreshing feeling to deal with people who appear to be happy where they work.
Kudos to Eric with showroom security.

Stayed here a few times. I honestly never cared for Vegas hotels, because if you are in Vegas and you’re spending a lot of time in your hotel room, you’re doing it wrong.
Self parking — smallest garage I’ve ever seen. There was a few times that we couldn’t find a spot at all, so we had to valet. Valet parking takes up the entire top floor so there’s only one floor of parking for the entire hotel + casino.
We stayed at paradise tower both times. The first time we paid around $ 35 a night (!) and didn’t know about the second tower, but ended up in the closer one anyways. The second time we paid over $ 280 (?!) and got charged a $ 15 upgrade fee to be closer… To everyone else saying that the club tower is not far — it is far if you are walking in heels to go out and need to be picked up by a car/​taxi/​über/​lyft at the main entrance.
The best part about Tropicana, in my visits, was that it’s relatively centrally located and usually one of the cheaper rates. You can walk to most parts or pay $ 3 – 4 for über/​lyft. Other than that, the machines are older, there’s really no club/​nightlife, and not a lot of food options either.

I loved the way they accommodated our request for 2 suites to be side by side. But everything else about this casino was below standard. The rooms were okay in size. But the beds were uncomfortable and the carpets need to be updated.
Down at the casino, most of their machines was broken. I played on 1 of the slot machines and got bored.
The Beach Café is someplace I would never go to again. The food is worse than cafeteria food! I ordered the steak and and eggs (late night meal) and it tasted and looked like they microwaved my steak.

As a casino, they had a much smaller casino floor with less variety than I’m used to. And the slot machines weren’t kind to me at all. Can’t fault the casino for that though; it was just my own misfortune.
Disappointed in the food court. Had a hard time finding it, and that was partially because it didn’t look like a food court. There was one counter to order from but several different menus on the wall. Food took a really long time to come out.

I had been here this month and my experiences there will be remembered for ever.
I played few table games in Casinos. People were so warm hearted here and helped me seek nuances of every play as this was my first visit to Casinos.
Loved this place and ll stay here on my every visit to sin city.

You can find this place listed on Hotwire with 4-​stars, an 80% recommended rating for «South Strip Casino and Hotel.» I found it for $ 66 after taxes, not including the $ 25 hotel resort fee.
Casino downstairs is small and appears to be confused, a strange hybrid of bright casino lights and white tile and wall. Plenty of convention space and small little vendors selling trinkets in the hall to your room. Friend went downstairs to get food, and he was gone for 45 minutes to get a burger to-​go.
Make no mistake that this is a hardcore budget stay, simply a place to put your head down for a few hours before heading out again. Room was damp and dated, complemented with tacky wicker furniture… not short of realistic expectations– aside from the fact this is listed as 4-​star.
I’d rather stay at the Westgate for the same price, especially as the Westgate is right on the tram line. You can find that one on Hotwire under «Las Vegas Convention Center Hotel» and 4-​stars for a much cleaner, newer stay.

So far the Tropicana was easy to find but a quite a few things wrong…
Checking in was smooth and finding the room. The room was right by the elevators which I really didn’t like. So I asked them if there was another room and the 2^nd one was so much worse! It smelled like sweaty pits and smoke and gave me the worst headache. The furniture was all chipped as well as the radios were not updated or with correct time. The bathroom looked like it hadn’t been cleaned just toilet paper folded. And if there’s more I’ll add it later.

Tropicana doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. How have I never been here before? Yeah it’s a bit of a walk to the center of the strip and yeah it’s an old casino/​hotel but Jesus when I walked in I thought I was at the wrong place! It was beautiful! It was nice, clean and sleek. Apparently they renovated recently. The casino part isn’t very big but the hotel itself is huge. It was quite a walk from the lobby to our tower where our room was. The room was gorgeous too!!! We had an unconventional view of the strip. I also took advantage of their gym where you have a nice view of their pool area. I guess I’m just raving about this place so much because it was definitely NOT what I expected! It was so much more. And cheap! I think I might just book my stays at Tropicana from here on out.

Being that the Tropicana is one of the older hotels on the strip, it just doesn’t boast the luxury and amenities that the other hotels do. It definitely attracts an older gambling crowd as opposed to the young hip party crowd that I am used to. But a positive is that right out front, there is a bridge over to MGM where you can mingle amongst a more lively crowd. Because we were here in the winter, the multiple pools were closed but they actually look very nice and have a vintage vibe similar to the rest of the hotel. You also have the option to hang out in the Trop Lounge or see a show at the Comedy Club.
We were able to check in one hour early but didn’t get our first choice of beds. I find it hard to believe that the rooms that we booked weren’t ready simply one hour ahead of check-​in, especially when we were the only ones there. Aside from that, my room had a semi-​strip view and overlooked the pool which wasn’t a bad deal but the windows had slatted blinds and a sun-​blocking film covering them which made it hard to enjoy the view. The beds were comfortable and clean but the plumbing in the bathroom was noisy and the TV barely had any channels. The only reason I complain about the TV is because I was there for business and had a lot of down time to kill.
The rooms are very far from the lobby so be prepared for a bit of a walk. On your way there you pass some snack stations which turned out to be very convenient. You also have the option of a small Starbucks and what they refer to as a «food court» which is just a typical café-​style eatery. Don’t be discouraged though; the Cheesesteak that I ordered was actually pretty delicious. We ordered room service for breakfast one day and I was shocked to see that 2 basic egg and sausage breakfasts cost us $ 45. For a hotel of this standard, that is expensive. I tipped in cash and when I closed out of my room I saw that a $ 5 tip was automatically included in the room service cost which is absolutely ridiculous. I really don’t think that I would stay here again as its just not my style, but if you’re just in Vegas to gamble then the Tropicana would be an okay choice.

Well as Casinos go on the Las Vegas Strip… nothing is special about this one. I heard it had been renovated over the past couple of years and that showed. My Mother-​in-​Law wanted to play some penny slots and she wanted to visit this casino. I found the place to be very clean… spacious…and the parking was even pretty good despite the walk to get into the Casino.
The reason for the 3-​Star review though is because of the Smoke… it was a little overwhelming even by Las Vegas Casino Standards. Eat, Drink, and be Merry my Friends!!!

The new upgrades rooms look really nice. It did smell like weed though when I walked in. People are people I guess. And people like to party in Vegas. I got really loud neighbors who passed their weed smoke through the AC.
Pool is no longer ²⁴⁄₇ which is a bummer. That was the main reason i picked Tropicana. They do have an awesome pool. So I went to bed without a night swim and plugged in my earbuds.
I would probably come here again. (if I’m gonna party hard :-)

Wir haben unseren Las Vegas aufenthalt im Tropicana erbracht, das Hotel liegt ideal um den Strip zu erkunden. Das Hotel ist sauber modern und ziemlich groß. Die Restaurants sind allerdings ziemlich teuer und der Service an der Rezeption auch nicht besonders gut. Die Zimmer sind modern eingerichtet und Sauber es gab täglich 2 flaschen Wasser gratis.

Meinen Vorrednern kann ich mich leider nicht anschließen, das Trop ist leider schon seit langem nicht mehr das was es war. Wahrscheinlich gilt auch hier die allgemein gültige Regel wie für alle Hotels in Las Vegas, die Qualität der Zimmer variiert sehr stark, denn es wird ständig renoviert und umgebaut.
Das Zimmer was ich hatte war extrem überteuert und alles andere als sauber, da es in der ganzen Stadt aber zu Messezeiten keine vertretbaren Zimmer gab blieb keine andere Wahl. Seit dem mache ich einen großen Bogen um das Trop, mag sein das es sich geändert hat aber wie sagt man so schön? Chance verspielt.

Das Tropicana ist wirklich ein günstige Alternative mitten auf dem Strip in Las Vegas zu wohnenhier gibt es schon Zimmer für um die $ 29,-. Das 1957 eröffnete Hotel, bietet nicht den bekannten Luxus wie die Prunktempel in der Nähe. Dennoch liegt das Hotel perfekt auf dem Strip. Gegenüber dem MGM, dem Excalibur und dem New York, New York kann das Tropicana für sich glänzen.
Ein Besuch des Casinos ist das Tropicana allemal wert. Auf einer größe von über 5000 Quadratmeter kann man hier Haus und Hof verspielen!
