Tropicana Hotel and Casino

A legendary Strip hotel, the Tropicana displays photographic memories on its walls of the entertainment giants who have performed here since the resort opened in 1957. Traditions such as sexy dancers, comedians, crooners, and low-priced meals are carefully preserved. Older guests welcome the ease of getting around. Younger guests appreciate the moderate pricing.

Sliding-glass doors separate a 1,500-square-foot heated indoor pool from the outdoor swim-up bar area. The lagoon-style pool meanders through a five-acre garden containing waterfalls and rock formations. The garden includes an adult pool, a rectangular lap pool, and three eight-person spa tubs. For-rent cabanas come with television, phone, ceiling fan, and padded lounges.

     

The hotel features a total of 1,878 guestrooms in the Paradise Tower, the Island Tower, and the Garden Tower. The 22-story Paradise Tower is just off the casino floor and features views of the Las Vegas Strip. The 21-story Island Tower is located near the Tropicana Convention Facilities and the five-acre tropical gardens and pool area; it is connected to the main casino by an enclosed walkway lined with specialty boutiques. The low-rise Garden Tower overlooks a five-acre garden/pool area with tropical foliage, waterfalls, and pools.
