text: My beloved Tropicana has had a MAJOR makeover some of the changes are fabulous but some kind of take away from the grittyseedy Las Vegas feel of the old decor nnThe Good nThe pool has been redone and looks straight out of Hollywood all white and wood It is a huge step up from the old plastic loungers well done Too bad it was FREEZING this weekend and we could not utlize it but next timennThe rooms have been totally redone and they NEEDED it Flat screens now replace the antiquated boxy TVs new furniture new carpets new beds super comfy compared to the cardboard mattresses they used to have and jacuzzi tubs in the bathroom They have also redone the carpeting in all the hallways so the whole place does not totally stink of cigarette smokennThe Bad nnThe casino did not need to be touched but they have added this blinding white marble walkways that SUCK They take the darkness out of the room and make the room feel less full In a casino setting I just did not like the vibe of the new decor nnIts trying too hard to be cool I am guessing they have a new night club there but we did not see it We DID see drunken halfnaked girls being comped drinks and being told to follow the crowds when we looked for which way these girls were following the crowds it seemed like they were staggering into the coffee shop FAILnnWould We Stay Here Again Not surenWe love the Tropicana we have stayed here over ten times and got married here in but the hotel has never made us feel special in any way nor have they ever comped us anything I know we are just normal people not highrollers but you would think there would be some sort of customer appreciation for repeat guests I am not really feeling it I also felt like the whole vibe of the place was totally cold The staff only spoke when spoken to the dealers were unfriendly and I did not feel very welcome In the future I think it may be time to try a new hotel one that values customer service more highly Oh and they painted the whole building white and it is TOO white for Vegas
