I stayed here for a random weekend with my work, it was alright. The hotel is pretty standard, nothing fancy, nothing terrible. The remodel is a little puzzling; I'm not sure if it's 100% completed but there are still some remnants of the old Tropicana like popcorn ceiling, small rooms, slow/hot elevators, small casino, old bathroom tiles, etc. It's a good value for what you pay and the location isn't too shabby..on the strip but at the very end of the strip which can be a good or bad thing for some depending on where on the strip you're trying to kick it.
I really just used this hotel for a place to sleep. I've stayed at many other hotels on the strip and I prefer to pay $50-$100 more to stay at a larger/nicer hotel...that's part of the Vegas experience in my view. Staying at the Tropicana for me is like staying at a Marriott Courtyard..it's just...standard.
