  • i stayed @ the Tropicana from 4/6/11 thru 4/12/11. Upon entering the casino you immediately smell a coconut-vanilla type scent. it was a little strong but a much more welcome scent than cigarette smoke! immediately to the left after walking in is the lobby. we had an wed evening arrival so the check in was a breeze. We stayed in the island tower (i think they're still renovating the main tower in the casino since i never saw anybody but construction workers going near the elevators for that tower) YES it is quite a walk to the island tower elevators!! it doesn't take forever but its definitely sucky when u have been walking around the strip all day and just wanna get back to your room! hopefully they come up with a creative alternative or a flat escalator for that in the future. First of all just about every detail of the casino/hotel has been renovated or is in the process of. The casino for its size is clean and a has decent selection of slots and table games. (i always saw a good amount of waitresses @ the slots all the time to get drinks) there's a new sports book, and we saw a poker room coming together by the a sports book area. There's an outdoor "heated" pool (3FT-5FT depth) there's two Jacuzzis one covered & one with landscaping (part of pool is still being renovated) and cocktail service starts early w/ $10 cocktails if i remember correctly. there's a very nicely equip fitness room (weights/bench/new cardio machines etc) new restaurants: Biscayne's (steak & seafood) **tip there's a great deal for like 50% off @ tix 4 tonite** and Bacio (Italian). Two days into our stay the food court opened which includes a full service Starbucks, a pizza and deli place and a noodles restaurant. There's also a convenient little snack shack in the back by the island tower elevators which sold Starbucks coffee and i believe blended coffee drinks of some variety and breakfast snacks and chips. the rooms: **blond moment** (only reason why I'm sharing this is so if u make the same mistake or have issues getting into your room u know what to do) when we were first going to our room we got out on the wrong floor Soooo our key didn't work :P Any-who if this happens there's guest telephones on a table on each floor near an elevator so u can call the front desk or whoever and get help (we used the phone and didn't walk all the way back down to the lobby... but many reviewers complained of this so just a heads up) So back to the review of the rooms: the room we had looked just like the pictures they show online, all the amenities they show online were in the room! the bed was nice and comfy, actually decent linens which were clean, had a padded duvet and the mattress under those sheets was new/clean as well :) there' 4 pillows on the bed but also 2 extras in the closet. theres also controlled climate. The bath tub is very large and a few jets away from being a jacuzzi tub but it fits 2 very comfortably :).... also there free wireless in-rooms that actually works great! we didn't do room service this trip, but we did request a coffee maker... we received our coffee maker it was a keurig coffee maker which included the single coffee pods (decaf and caffeinated) various brands and the condiments and portable cups was delivered. we called and spoke to room service after to see what this all was going to cost us and they said it was free, they were using up their supply and housekeeping would replenish it throughout our stay. They didn't say how close they were to running out but that they would be starting to charge for it very soon. it was a nice bonus to our stay. bonus #2 during our stay: apparently the south beach atmosphere has carried over a laid back attitude cause when we were walking the long tunnel to our room on a sat night @ around 2:30AM "THE POOL/JACUZZI'S WERE OPEN!!!" it wasn't a private party or something somebody tipped anybody off over. its just simply not locked and we were told by one of the staffers that if people aren't causing problems its cool with the managment (i do hesitate including this in the review cause there will be some dumb-asses who'll be stupid and cause management to 2nd guess allowing this) but being as we only discovered this on like day #4 of our stay it would have been nice to know esp since your told upon checking in the the pool closes @ 7p. (so your welcome!) bonus #3 &4: the 9.99 resort fee includes printing your boarding pass for the return flight home @ their computer kiosks. & working free wireless internet in your hotel room. my overall impression is that this is a huge value for the location and room that you get.. the staff was extremely helpful and seemed to guinely like their jobs. Do i think that the tropicana is going to become Vegas's hottest hotel: No, but only time will tell. however a 2.5 rating simply doesn't begin to justify! i wouldn't hesitate staying here again, and i probably would book here when we come back in a couple of months
