From Chris: If you are looking to be brow beaten by the cheap and tawdry ghost of Las Vegas past, then the Tropicana is your premier destination!
The accommodations reek of differed maintenance; examples to include non-functioning escalators, bowed and buckling carpet on many of the hotels floors, and a cheap sleaze that even a good old fashion Midwestern house cleaning could not fix.
Bottom line, stay away from the Tropicana! Its internet advertising makes it look moderately appealing but the reality is that the pictures they are using are from many years ago. The room I stayed in had three non-functioning light switches, the iron leaked water all over my shirts, there was no ironing board, the bathtub had a piece of plastic glued to the side from where maintenance had cut the tub enclosure to fix a leak, and the list goes on...
On the plus side my room came complete with mirrors affixed to the popcorn ceiling and I was able to drift off into a dream filled sleep replete with a 1970's porn soundtrack. The only good thing that might come out of the Tropicana would be a complete and total demolition of the property so that valuable strip space might be better utilized.
