What People Are Saying About Tropicana Resort and Casino

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.

The Staff and Hosts make All the Difference (Service, not Glamour, is Key for Regulars)

by jamesgPhD

After reading other reviews, I had to contribute the following. We stayed at the Trop every New Year's Eve (as well as other trips in-between) faithfully since about 1999. Although the hotel is dated, the holiday parties and service is great for regulars and moderate-high players. We loved it and were always comped across the board! However, when our host left in 2007, we heard nothing more....no invites from the new host, no calls, nothing. I called him and he would say "Yep..don't worry..we're waiting for the room grid??," with no other calls. I found out where my prior host went- luckily, to the Harrah's system where I had minimal play. We contacted her....she set up a room immediately (with limo & show)....and we have been going since. Bottom line, if your a good and regular player, it is the host or staff that make the difference. We still do stop by to play (about an hour or so) because of a friendly-fun-bartender we visit- BUT, we like to keep most of our play where we stay.....now the Flamingo.

  • Pros: Old Vegas Environment
  • Cons: Weak Casino hosts

TIME TO TEAR IT DOWN

by localdude

Lame WHOREtel. One elevator a tower makes you wait in line for at least 5-10 minutes. The machines never pay out and the cocktail waitresses are rude. If you get a garden room you are screwed because the deafening sound of the pool party stage makes it unable to take a nap or simply relax, thank god we had a tower but the elevator problem kinda takes care of that.

Its worth paying $20-$40 more to stay somewhere more decent and not infiltrated by prostitutes 24/7 scouring the casino floor.

  • Pros: nice pool area
  • Cons: everything else, bad service. horrible buffett

Good Value for Las Vegas Blvd.

by bootsytown

I booked this place on a weekend for the price and really wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised! Yes, it is not that flashy but the location is great and we had a terrific view from our tower room (ask about upgrades at check-in, it was only another $20 per night for us to move from the motel-style rooms to the Island Tower). The pool looked nice but we didn't have time to check it out.

  • Pros: Good Value and Location
  • Cons: Rooms are getting worn
