While on a long and gruesome road trip with 6 friends, we stayed at the Luxor on Thursday night...Which was fine...but got expensive when we wanted to extend our stay on Friday night. We called the Tropicana and got a super great value for Friday night, which was $120 for a room with two doubles.

So we tread over to the hotel, and the check-in process was absolutely amazing! I work in a hotel, so I have high expectations, and was VERY pleased with our staff member, Kimberlee (try to catch her!). She hooked us up with an awesome room with a garden view, next to the PRIVATE pool, ground floor with a patio, two double beds, PLUS a large sofa bed, and a HUGE room!!! Large bathroom too! She was super nice, we had an AWESOME stay, the pool is incredible (lots of yummy young guys floating around, hehe) and we all slept very well. So the Tropicana isn't the Wynn, but for being ON the strip and getting that kind of value and service...who is complaining?

On June 26th 2009 I stayed in the Tropicana. When I made my reservation I had to rant and rave just to get a non-smoking room. Finally I was able to get a Non-Smoking room after 20 minutes! When I got to my room(which I believe was room 4104) was on the bottom level on the garden tower. This room had only two lamps for light, and only one lamp worked. Since it was on the bottom level, there was a sliding door with a small patio which looked like it had not been cleaned in a year or so with cigarette butts, trash, and sandbags all over the ground. The room faced the back of a building with no view. When I tried to connect with Wifi I was told that my floor did not get it. To top it off, one of the beds had a disposable razor head between the sheets. There were long hairs all over the bathroom floor, and a few on the towels. It looked like this room had not been rented out or cleaned for months. It was absolutely disgusting. Needless to say, we checked out early the next day and stayed somewhere else. I feel absolutely ripped off for paying what I did for that dump. I will never stay there again.

Basic hotel but i have to say it has got everything around it. It is also in the middle of the strip so when you look out of your window you have got tall and amazing architectors.

A bit dated

It is one of the only hotel & casinos on the strip to have a indoor swimming pool wich is useful if your going in the winter but useless in the summer because they also have a outdoor pool. the ppol is massive it runs threwout the hotel grounds.

the hotel is VERY old and dirty! carpet is worn,old and taped throughout the hotel. the restaurants are awful. they actually served moldy food at players deli and at the garden deli they served watered down orange juice and didn't melt the cheese on a cheese omelet i ordered. food service at legends was VERY slow but food was ok there. the management is awful!!! (which explains why it's such a terrible hotel). our keys for our rooms didn't work on 3 different occasions and hotel staff told us it was because we had different reservations (we stayed in the same room the whole time and they knew that!) each time we had to walk all the way down to the front desk and waste a lot of time (walking and getting new keys) all to find out our keys wouldn't work again 2 more times! someone puked outside our room in the hallway (we told housekeeping and management more than once) and it was never fully cleaned up. one elevator didn't work. our toilet seat in our room was broken. the elevators STINK terribly! when i complained on several occasions about all of this (while i was accommodated in many ways) the problems still remained. all in all the absolute worst hotel i've ever stayed at. stay at the excalibur across the street for basically the same price for a much better hotel. spread the word.........DO NOT STAY AT THE TROPICANA EVER!!!!!!! save your money and hassle and stay somewhere else. trust me it's worth staying somewhere else!!
