Sorry Tropicana.... you are gross. I understand that the Tropicana is somewhat of a historical landmark in Vegas these days, but must we really remind ourselves of our tackier, more sleazy Vegas days? I think not. The casino hallways are lined with booth retailers selling trinkets and things you'd find at your local swap meet, the restaurant some of my family went to was a far cry from the Benihana it aspired to be (and I'm not even a fan of Benihana!), and the carpet was so warped in one area of the casino that I tripped on it and nearly fell down. The rooms were cramped and dark and musty and I mean, why would anyone stay there when you could enjoy more luxury in downtown or really, even possibly at the Hooters hotel just behind?? If Hooters is better, perhaps closing is solid option. I always think its good to go out kicking and still on top (or as close as possible) ya herd?
