In a city full of new hotels trying to figure out the magic that draws people in, the Tropicana has it easy – they figured
it out 50 years ago and never stopped offering it.The Tropicana's secret – gathering everything a person could want in their
Vegas experience under one roof.
There’s always something to do or see at the Tropicana. And there will be a lot of new things to do or see as the Tropicana
undergoes construction and renovations throughout 2010.
If it’s a growling stomach that’s crying out, take advantage of some of the best deals in town and have a bite – or several
– at the Tropicana’s Island Buffet or Legends Steak and Seafood.
If it’s vacation-weary feet that’s got you down – take a seat at one of the Tropicana’s many gaming options, including table
games like Pai Gow poker and blackjack or at a Vegas-favorite – the slot machine.
If that’s still not enough, the Tropicana has its own spa, offering a variety of massages and services that’ll have even the
busiest vacationer delighting in relaxation – just in time to do it all over again.

"Excellent location. The Garden Cafe is excellent (HUGE portions at low prices) and it's open 24 hours, 7 days a week. The
rooms aren't as nice as others in Las Vegas but they're still nicer than most normal hotels. The staff was helpful and very
nice. All in all, it's an EXCELLENT deal!"

Most Helpful Unfavorable Review
"A bit outdated in terms of decor and architecture. Check-in desk understaffed resulting in a long wait. Almost all hotel
staff looked depressed and unhappy - not a happy vacation experience. Lots of history here from several generations ago, but
not sufficiently emphasized in decor to make a difference to average guest. Mediocre buffet. Boring casino. Good magic show.
Best strategy: use for cheap weekday rates and spend your non-sleep time elsewhere on the Strip."
