I stayed at the Tropicana from January 16th thru the 19th. The hotel rooms are updated and new-the view from the 20th floor from my room was beautiful-overlooked the strip. I stayed in the Island Tower which was quite a haul from the front desk to my room. The casino was clean and bright and wasn't smoke filled or uninviting. Check in was wonderful and fast-Rose was smiling and helpful. A great big welcome to Las Vegas attitude. I thought this was going to be a great place to stay. WRONG! The service in their Cafe Nikki which is opened 24hrs. was HORRIBLE..Unattentive waiters and waitresses..I can;t say anything good about this restaurant at all. The food was ok and way overpriced. The last morning I stayed there I went down to breakfast at 6:30am. The place was empty..The waitress came over and took my order..gave me my cold coffee..Then I waited..and waited and waited..Finally this guy brought out my breakfast..and served it to another guest who said he was in a hurry..I was like--what the ***! I got up and the waitress asked why I was leaving..she never apologized and I told her it was because you gave my breakfast to another guest--she could care less!! Sorry Tropicana..I'll NEVER stay there again.
