can only comment on the casino part, as my friends wanted to see how renovated Tropicana got. First time I went, and it was larger than I expected. But as soon as you walk in, you feel like youre at the beach. In a bad way. Reeks of coconut lotion everywhere you go. But, my $ in blackjack quickly doubled and more, so I was happy with my run here. The casino has the old retro look of Vegas, but clean and new.
