text: Okay stayed at the Tropicana this memorial weekend and I have a mixed review My girlfriend and her husband also stayed in the Tropicana and we had two very different experience Okay starting with my experience nMy husband and I booked our room on Vegascom it was cheap for Saturday and Sunday nights memorial weekend when I booked I was not able to book into the paradise tower but figured eh whatever I do not spend much time in the room anyways My friend booked into the paradise tower when she booked on Orbitz When we got to the hotel I tried the sandwiched between my id and credit card trick to get an upgrade The woman who helped us was super nice and friendly She was super happy with getting a tip so when I asked if it was possible that something was available in the paradise tower because my friends were in the paradise tower she got us an awesome room on the th floor Very cool Our room even had a great view of the strip We were very happy The room was beautiful and the bed was super comfortable so we were very happy The staff were all very nice super helpful and we were given drink tickets just for checking in If I was basing this review on my experience alone they would get five starsnNow on to my friends experience They had already booked into the paradise tower so they were not asking for an upgrade They had requested a smoking room When they got to the check in counter they were told that their room would not be available for another minutes They were given complimentary drink tickets and told to just go sit at the bar and come back in minutes Since we had gotten our room we told them to just come upstairs with us After about minutes they went back downstairs and were told it still was not quite ready to wait another minutes here is another free drinks After about hours their room was finally ready When they got in the room it was pretty tore up For a remodeled room that is only been open for about months this room has been used up The shower curtain had red stains on it we can only imagine what that was so they had to have house keeping come switch out the shower curtain before they could take a shower after hours on the road nice and the room just reeked of stale cigarette smoke I have honestly never been in a room that smelled so bad It is obvious that they do not spray the carpets and furniture when people check out They also had a lovely view of the roof of the garden tower I think that she would give the tropicana star based on her experience Average it out it comes to stars nIf you stay at the tropicana do not book a smoking room nIf you are a nonsmoker the trop is just right for the price
