My wife and I went to the tropicana Las Vegas in July. We were really thrilled by the hotel and its services for the price we paid (less than 100 bucks per night).
First of all, it smells good, it's new, super clean and very fashion.
The location is good as the hotel is on the strip.
It has 2 pools, one from the hotel and one in the club of the hotel called "bagatelle".
It doesn't have buffet, but you can go to louxor or Excalibur to eat a one day buffet.
However we have to admit we were a bit disappointed to see a lesbian couple kissing in the pool topless.
Strongly recommend this place.
