| - If I based my review on only the room itself, I would probably the Trop 4 or 5 stars. For a somewhat renovated hotel, it is what it is, and would probably be worth staying at again for the value. But, since all of us Yelpers base our reviews on the entire experience, let me expand why the Trop only gets two:
My sister and I were celebrating our birthday weekend in Veags (we're twins) and had booked a Saturday night at the Trop via an online deal. Excited, since we've never stayed there before but knew it was this famous place on the strip, we looked into good food around the area, and what else we can do that was close. Having stayed at other hotels not in the middle of the strip before, discovering that the Tropicana was much more south than what was ideal, we made the most of it and understood there would be some travelling in the car. Okay, no problem. We made dinner reservations further up the strip and booked show tickets at Planet Hollywood. We were set.
We arrive in Vegas around 1:30pm, and decide to have lunch first before checking in, since it was too early to do so and our lunch reservation was North Strip. After lunch and some games, we head down a little bit after 4pm (check-in begins at 3), and that's when the trouble starts. 4pm, and our room wasn't ready? Hmmm, okay, how long, we ask? About 45 mins to an hour. Ugh.
So, we take whatever is available, which is a smoking room (we had reserved a non-smoking one), and as the woman is giving us our keys, we hear the party checking in next to us getting keys for their NON-SMOKING room. What??? We ask, are there no other non-smoking rooms left, even if we upgraded? No, she said. Nothing we can do about it... can't wait an hour for the other room because we had show tickets... so we headed to our smoking floor and our smoking room.
Which, brings us back to the beginning. Smoking room wasn't bad. Had a bit of a smell but once you get the air going, it didn't linger. The room was clean and the beds were comfy. And the HD TV actually had an HD signal. Awesome.
So, next time, when you book, call ahead to see if the room is ready, and if you are doing things in the middle of the strip, stay closer to where you'll be. The Trop, as cool as it was to actually stay there, isn't worth the trouble (or the trouble parking in the small garage), and you'll most likely think you're getting your money's worth elsewhere.
