I am impressed by the improvements that the Tropicana has gone through in it's makeover session. I stayed here for two nights, as this was the host hotel for a race my roommate and I were running and we were both thrilled with the experience. The staff was extrememly friendly and easy to work with-we were even able to get a phone call for an early check-in on Friday.
This was a great price for being on the strip and being in walking distance or a cab ride from anywhere else you want to go.
BTW-Don't forget to tip your house keepers for the hard work that they do.
