Q: The place itself is a little too dark. We were seated upstairs in the back by the window and it was still to dark. There are some lighting on the walls but just didn't do much. I would suggest maybe some candles on the table. Food was ok. Just little too plain for the price. Our server was nice but just little too slow.

A: 2 stars

Q: I made an appointment on Saturday about an hour before I went in to Alexus Nail Bar for a mani/pedi. I loved the decor and setup of the salon. However, since it was busy it was a little confusing as to who was doing what. Eventually I was brought over to the table for my mani. Great service and nice selection of polishes. I have natural nails so I use the regular polish (no gel). You get to choose which scent of lotion with your mani/pedi. I thought that was a small but nice option.

I was then whisked away to the massage chair for my pedicure. Great job, I was thoroughly pleased. The man doing my pedicure was SLIGHTLY rough scrubbing and very pleasant. They don't talk in other languages abruptly in front of customers like many traditional salons do.

Overall a very pleasant atmosphere and experience, BUT a little pricey ($50 mani/pedi). I guess you get what you pay for. I'd definitely go back, but not on a regular basis per cost.

I got my mani/pedi on Saturday. It's now Monday and there's no chipping! :) I even did the dishes a few times!!

Q: I was recently in town for a conference and stayed at the Trop for the better part of a week. This has been hands down one of the best Vegas trips I have had to date.

I hadn't stayed at the hotel prior to the re-model and only read a few favorable comments on here before the departure, if any.

We arrived at the hotel significantly earlier than expected and then front desk rep was so helpful. They took our bags and gave us a great recommendation for lunch close to the hotel; then called us as soon as a room opened up; so we got an early check-in.

The room had a GREAT view of the strip, 40/42inch TV, and the bathroom had a noticeably large bath tub. The housekeeping staff was very sweet and friendly, brought us extra amenities for our extended stay.

We ordered room service and the food was great (worthwhile to mention the beach cafe dinner and breakfast buffet was a great look)! But i was extra impressed with the gentleman who brought us our food. He came in and set up the table for us in the room, so i wanted to give him an extra tip cash -- he refused. I offered again and he pointed out that it would be double dipping since I had already taken care of the tip on my tab. I thought that was a really stand-up gesture.

The only downside was not getting wifi for our conference, that was quite an issue and we didn't end up getting any wifi reception then either of the three days -- but that could have been a mishap with who ever booked the conference center; not sure. BUT we had no issues with the wifi in our rooms!

all in all, a great stay -- and not to mention the tables were quite good to me.
