This was my first time staying at the Tropicana and I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms were clean and modern. The entire hotel had a coconut aroma that was nice since most of the casinos reek of cigarette smoke. We stayed on the 22nd floor of the Paradise section which was very close to the entrance/exit. Unfortunately our room view wasnt that impressive, we wanted a strip view but had a view of the back of the strip. Checkout/In was easy and no drama. They cleaned our rooms and we had no major problems with the room. One day the hot water was out but it came back on within minutes. The location was great and close to outide cheaper eats. There wasnt a big selection of restaurants in the hotel and I didnt like the fact that you had to pay extra to go to Nikki Beach which we didnt. The pool area was very cool with lots of lounge chairs and just an overall nice and relaxing ambience. I felt like I was on an island in the caribbean while chillaxin by the pool. We did see more fancier with better amenities at other hotels on the strip. However, I would return to the Tropicana.
