 | |  |  | Tropicana Resort And Casino: Best deal on the Strip
Tip Rating:   Satisfaction: |  |  | |  |
The Tropicana is one of the older hotels on the Vegas Strip. It's large by normal hotel standards (1,800 rooms and suites, contained in two 22-storey towers and some low-rise buildings) but small compared to it's immediate neighbours (MGM Grand, Excalibur, Luxor, New York, New York). It is also less splashy to look at from the outside, more traditional Vegas, although it has beautiful outdoor pools (and the only indoor pool on the Strip) and tropically landscaped grounds, approx. 5 acres in size.
What this means is that you can get amazing deals if you go at the right time, mid-week usually. We went right after New Years from Sunday to Wednesday. I booked online directly with the Tropicana (see web site below, guaranteed lowest rates) and got a room for $35 US/night! This was much cheaper than buying an air/hotel package. However, if we had stayed one more night the price would have skyrocketed to nearly $300 for Thursday night. A calendar on the Trop website makes it very easy to plan if you are looking to save money.
The staff were great. When we checked in we were automatically given a free upgrade to an Island Tower room (no bribe required, although tip appreciated). The rooms were clean, comfortable and quiet, although definitely not new. Mirrors everywhere - even over the bed! Great big soaker tub. Terrific view of the Strip. All the usual amenities, except no coffee maker (they want you to go downstairs past the slot machines to get coffee.)
We didn't eat much in the hotel but the cafe, Calypsos, was quite good (see separate review). We had been warned off the buffet but there were several other restaurants to choose from.
Some of the hotel attractions: old-style Vegas show Folies Bergere, magic show, Comedy Stop, free tropical bird show, free ariel acrobatic show in casion 'Airplay', Casino Legends museum.
The location is really good. Located on the South Strip, the Tropicana is close to the airport (only about a $10 cab ride) and also close to some of the most interesting hotels and attractions. The location combined with the unbeatable price and decent accommodations makes it a real winner! Leave a Comment
