Previous reviews have mentioned proximity to the railtrack, whilst agreeing that it does run very close to the back of this property, we never found the noise offensive and besides the trains were not that frequent.
The suites were very pleasent, well equiped and cleaned daily by very efficient and friendly staff (on arrival we found little crockery, mentioned this to housekeeping an immediately received a full set). The pool and spa were also well kept and were very welcome after a hot day on the strip.
Location to the strip was as stated @1 mile, a 20 minutes stroll or 5 minutes by bus (CAT 201)-very good value !
We had read that the area around the suites was frequented by undesirables, this we thought a little unfair, sure there were a few people who were down on their luck, but you will find that in any city in the world, we never felt intimidated nor were given reason to be.
All in all we had a really great two weeks stay at Emerald Suites Tropicana. Thanks to the hard working staff. We have no hesitation in recommending this establishment.

Went to Las Vegas for the first time this April. Read all the positive and negative comments, decided it seemed like a reasonable choice and found out that it certainly was. In fact, for us, a family of 5, it was close to ideal. Rooms were clean. When we needed more towels and the like they were easy to get (in all honesty we usually just brought the old ones to the cart and grabbed more). The workers were friendly and polite. When we went to the front desk to use the computer to print our return boarding passes, it was broken. So the staff let us use the computer and printer behind the desk. They were very accommodating. Beds could have been a mite softer for my tastes but my girlfriend and our kids were fine with them. We were on the train side of the complex and they certainly went by but didn't bother us. It doesn't have elevators, but we can walk up and down a few stairs (we were on the 3rd floor). The kitchen area saved us $$ on food. Kitchen utinsels and dishes were not overly plentiful, but paper plates and plastic utinsels are fine for us. All the appliances were in good working order. For budget travelers who have a larger group and are staying several nights, it worked great.

We stayed at this hotel after our Alaska Airlines flight was cancelled following a long delay at the airport. According to the Alaska ticket agent this is the only hotel for which the airline would provide a voucher and/or guarantee payment. Since I had never heard of this hotel, I asked the agent what kind of place it was. She told me it was "like a Doubletree" and "about three stars." This was not an accurate description.

Meaning no offense to the polite and helpful people who were working in the office of this motel on our arrival, I have no idea how this place could merit 3 stars. It's also not remotely like any Doubletree I've ever seen.

It is a 3 story budget motel, not within walking distance of even a 7-11, let alone a decent restaurant. The motel is surrounded by pavement, has no elevator, no shop or cafe of any kind, a broken ice machine, aged and very dirty carpets, an extremely noisy air conditioner, a pool surrounded by motel windows, in the case of our "suite" a torn and uncomfortable old sofa bed, a sticky table and old beds. It didn't smell like someplace you would like to sleep and had only the most basic amenities. I can say that the sheets and towels were clean, but overall it didn't feel clean or comfortable and is very outdated. (Remember teal carpets and stiped couches?)

The people were nice, polite and friendly. They can't help that this is a fourth class facility.

It's extremely difficult for me to imagine anyone paying $120 per night to stay here and thinking it's a good deal - especially in Las Vegas which is full of very nice rooms at reasonable rates.

I sincerely question of the authenticity of some of the positive reviews I've seen here. Don't let your airline get away with sending you here after cancelling your flight. And if you choose to stay here make sure you get a really, really great bargain rate because the location is horrible and very unattractive.

I read all the reviews about this place and I was not looking forward to it. For the price I thought what the heck I will only be sleeping there. Everyone that wrote a bad review about this place is either too picky or very cheap. The place is not on the strip nor does it claim to be, the shuttles are a little slow but you have to realize you are not the only people staying there, if you call ahead and show some patience you can get to the air port or the Tropicana very easily. The staff were very helpful I thought they did a great job I got house keeping everyday except the time I didnt want it, so for the people who said they didnt get it maybe you should look into taking the do not disturb sign off the door. If you rent a car this place would be great, I got a pizza and put in in the fridge and ate that for the couple days I was there, the diswasher and microwave were great I never made anything on the stove but I am sure that would have been good. All I can say is this place was real nice for the price it was 100 times better that my buddies place at the Saharah and he paid alot more than I did. I will stay there again

I read all these reviews only after we have already booked the hotel - we could not cancel, so I was prepared for the worse..
I brought my own blankets,towels and linnen, cleaning detergents and toilet paper (since we traveled by car) ... Stupid :) Should never read those useless reviews!!!
Check-in took us just 10 min for 2 suites, the stuff at the front desk did not smile a lot but was quick and helpful. The suites (we stayed in two) were clean and shiny, stove, fridge, dishwasher,micro-oven, coffee-maker and toaster (our kids liked that we had it in our kitchen) were brand new, hair-drier was clean and in working condition. Suites had enough toilet paper and soap, each 1 bdrm suite had two q-size beds and 4 sets of towels. Linnen and towels were changed every day (we stayed in hotel for 3 nights). Kitchen had dishes, silver, cups, measuring cups, kitchen towels, bowls and drainer.
Swimming pool looked great and shiny, hotel was quiet though there is trully a railway beside it-the train passes aprox. every 4 hours but we were so tired every night that did not hear it at all.
It is clean and nice around the hotel and it is located just 5 min driving from the strip.
Check-out took us just 2 minutes and overall impression about hotel was great.
I would recomend this place to people on a budget - it is excellent place for the price and you can enjoy having your own breakfast there (it was important for us since we traveled with kids and they need their peanutbutter sandwich and milk for breakfast even in Vegas).

  • Liked — Living roon and bedroom a two separate rooms-those who eat or watch TV do not disturb those who sleep at the moment
  • Disliked — The maid left light on and blinds open every time so all other people passing by our windows could see everything inside while we were not in room
  • Tips/Secrets: — Menion that you need a non-smoker room if you are, otherwise you may end up in a suite with a strong smell of tobaco smoke
