  • 6. Tropicana Santiago

    Sibling of the Havana original, the Tropicana puts on a full cabaret, with dozens of dancers—men in Spandex, women in feathers and jeweled bikinis—floating through the colored lights and tropical decor. It's undeniably touristy and Vegas-like. You'll come away entranced by the spectacle or a tad bored. It depends on your tastes. Most hotels offer cabaret packages for CUC$40 per person (including transport, entrance, and one drink).
