As seen on screen

Tropicana Casino Vegas is a piece of Sin City history. James Bond stayed here in Diamonds are Forever; the Folies Begere show was featured in the classic Elvis Presley film Viva Las Vegas. And it’s been featured in a number of TV shows including Angel and Malcolm in the Middle.

About the Casino Hotel Tropicana in Vegas

The Tropicana Casino in Las Vegas was built in 1957 with further towers added in 1979 and 1986. In 2010 phase one of an extensive refurbishment programme was completed to give the hotel an up to date South Beach vibe.

We were first lured into the casino with vouchers for free cocktails which weren't bad... If gambling’s a priority then pop along to the recently revamped casino, which has a variety of games to play from Blackjack to fruit machines.

The extensive refurbishment commenced soon after the Tropicana Hotel in Vegas was purchased by the Onex Corporation. Gaming executive Alex Yemenidjian led the rejuvenation of the hotel to change it into a Miami-themed resort and the changes seem to be going down extrememly well with visitors. In 2010 Travelscream named the Tropicana one of its Top 10 Sin City Hotels.

Another top feature is the Tropicana Las Vegas pool which is a huge tropical pool area spanning more than four acres that features whirlpools and a selection of swimming pools. With the waterfalls and greenery you’ll imagine you’re in an exotic destination.

Despite being named Best Sin City Pool it's still reasonable to rent a Cabana at $50 a day (on weekdays) and that price includes six non-alcoholic drinks and a fruit basket.

You can reach the Tropicana Resort in Las Vegas via pedestrian bridges which link it to the MGM Grand Las Vegas and the Excalibur.

Sleeping

The Tropicana Hotel Casino Vegas has more than 1600 rooms. The bedrooms in the Paradise and Island towers are now decorated in warm colours, which you can see in the photo below. In the all new best-in-class rooms you will find plantation shutters, a chaise, a Euro Top Serta Perfect Sleeper mattress and 300-thread count linens. To bring the rooms bang up to date they now feature 42 inch plasma TVs and wireless internet.

There are some even greater deals to be found at the Tropicana since it was updated which include $99 per night for a suite.
