| - Well, this review isn't for the hotel rooms as I didn't stay at the hotel although I strongly considered it as it's been remodeled, and they have been offering a very compelling offer. But a few of us chose to go a different hotel for this trip and evaluate them for a future stay after checking out their "remodeled" hotel/casino. As a long time Vegas visitor, I had never even visited Tropicana because it had a horrible reputation and there are so much better hotels than it. But, we decided to "play" at the Tropicana and sign up for their "Trop Plus" players card. The promotion was excellent (covers your loss up to $200), the atmosphere in the casino was pretty lively, great variety of slots despite not having that big of a casino, and just enough of a decent ventilation system so that you don't leave with black lung as you do in other casinos. We were happy with the South Beach decor, off-white wall colors and shutters, the bright colors, and the slight coconut smell was a nice touch, too. Only the orange-y carpet could be changed. It's a smaller hotel/casino but it had enough to keep most people happy I would think. The dealers were friendly...and those outfits some of the lady dealers wore...let's just say most guys would stay a bit longer at the tables. I did notice the crowd was a bit older than at the Hard Rock or Hooters, which actually is good at least for me. We were very happy with the casino and would very much like to try out the hotel next time I'm at Vegas.
