Fodor's Review:

¢. Enjoy the 5-acre pool and swim-up blackjack while you still can—this Strip original has been sold to a new owner. Though the property will be kept intact and given an overhaul, it has long been rumored for the wrecking ball, so this reprieve could prove temporary. Rooms vary in size, depending on the age of the tower or wing. The confusing casino speaks to piecemeal additions but, at least until the place is reborn, carries an almost-quaint but also rather tired '70s-style nostalgia. Tropicana is known for hosting interesting traveling museum exhibitions, such as Titanic and Bodies.

We had a great experience here. We purchased a discounted rate of 54.00 a night on vegas.com but when we arrived, a really nice lady explained that the room we purchased at a discount would be in the 3 story "motel-like" buildings and not the towers, but for 10.00 extra per night, we could upgrade. We agreed to the upgrade and we were placed on the highest floor with a strip view and it was beautiful. We had a view of New York New York and the Luxor, MGM and Excaliber. At night, it lit up like, well, like Las Vegas. The hotel room was very clean and it was HUGE! It had a great King-sized bed and mirrors on the ceiling which I must say, came in handy. The tub was a two-person tub with endless hot water. The staff was polite and friendly. The casino was run-of-the-mill but my husband and I are not gamblers, so we didn't care. I gambled one dollare while waiting for cofee and the machine spit out 52.00 in one click, so I was happy. The hotel is centrally located and we visited all the above hotels and casinos as well as Bellagio, Venetian, Mandalay Bay, Alladin - all within walking distance. The morning buffet was quite passable. We were able to eat healthy there and that was what I was looking for for breakfast. we did not have any other meals there except take-out desert one night while jonesing for something sweet. Overall, a really great value for the money!
