Not my favorite – The ceilngs were low and didn't smell real good, old cigarettes and air freshners. We walked in and out within 10 minutes.

One part tropical paradise, two parts old-school Vegas. – In Short The Tropicana stands alone as the last of old Vegas on the south end of the Strip, which explains the casino's slogan, "Where Las Vegas Begins." Lately the casino has downplayed its island theme and put forth a more subtle, "we're-a-Vegas-classic" vibe. For fans of the myth and magic of old Vegas, the casino has one of those giant, free-pull slot machines as well as displays of casino chips, photos, special videos, and other casino-culture oddities.

worst customer service ever – I was promised a complementary waiver from the Casino Host, Doug, of up to $300 and I can just simply charge items to my room and after which he will pick up the tab. Therefore, I started charging several items to my room such as meals, cigarettes, and drinks to my room. Upon checking out, the staff suddenly told me that a few items such as tips, liquor and cigarettes, could not be complemented. No one ever told us that! On top of that, the $300 limit was not reached yet. Being confused like tha... read more

feels like vegas – if your looking for some pampering, decor, and fanciness, the tropicana may not be right for you, but to me it is my home away from home. the location couldn't be better, the room prices are affordable and it has the good old fashion feel of how las vegas should be. the swimming pool is huge and equiped with a blackjack table where you can swim up and play in the water. and the mirrors on the ceiling add just an extra touch of fun to sin city. If you want a lot of free drinks go to the bar and play quarter... read more

Repeat Tropicana Customer – If you are looking for a top of the line casino with all the new bells and whistles this is not your place. But, if you're looking for a clean, decent place to nap in between gambling, drinking and shopping it's the best deal on the strip. Good location on the strip right at the monorail and the other newer more expensive hotels. We're planning our 4th trip in 3 years and haven't had a bad experience yet.

Spa Tropicana – I paid $300.00 for a terrible facial, a rushed and cold Body treatment, and a massage where i was talked to the entire time and called sweety and hun. I wouldnt reccoment this spa to anyone, not even soeone looking to kill time. They are rude and show no remorse to their mistakes. I have been in the spa industry for 5 years and this spa is no where near Vegas Standard.

Good Stay – We had a fine stay, rooms were very nice for the price.(except the beds were very hard) . We had better luck gambling here last year, but (almost) all the staff we came in contact with were super friendly and helpful. The shows are good, the Calypso & Savanna are both really good. We plan to come back again.

Disappointing – As an individual who stays at a good number of hotels, I found the whole experience disappointing. I had one of the garden rooms, which was dark and not very clean. I found crumbs on the endtables and the sheets were not very clean. The rooms were dark and the view of the pool was not all that great. I will stay elsewhere the next time I'm in town.
