Did not stay here but came for Richard Irvine's Summer BBQ event at the pool. This is not a new hotel but I was impressed with the renovations they have done to try to keep up with the other strip properties. The pool area was nice, nothing special. The Tropicana staff had us walking in circles with their poor pool directions. If you are going to the pool, there is a parking lot right next to it in the back to avoid walking through the casino, which is very convenient. We were lucky enough to see the freak show of EDC goers on this particular night as well.
