Q: Holy shite do not stay here. Ever. I know there is this whole school of thought that is along the lines of "why spend extra money on a fancy hotel room I'm only going to sleep in". I am very guilty of subscribing to that school of thought when the accommodation costs come out of my pocket. But the Tropicana is like the prime example as to why sometimes that's completely wrong and just ends up pissing you off and wasting your time. The significant other and I thought this might have been a good place to stay because we were wanting to attend Defcon but as cheaply as possible. We were looking on expedia, and the only place that had a room for sub-$100/night was here. So, we booked rooms. Thought we were getting a fairly good deal, especially given the money we were about to splurge on everything else we were going to do there (joel robuchon! craftsteak! nom nom nom). It was definitely far from our first time in vegas, but we've never stayed at the Tropicana or even wandered into there at all... We were totally wrong. I know not many people actually spend any significant amount of time in a hotel, and we tried not to - most of the day at defcon, at the pool, outside wandering around and doing touristy things - but y'know, it can't be unreasonable to expect the beds to be half decent. But no, this is obviously thin and worn out, weird smelling (I almost daresay unwashed) utter uncomfortableness. Nevermind the pillows...they were pretty nonexistent and I ended up stuffing my laptop bag with clothes and using that as a pillow which ended up being more comfortable. I think I may have been more comfortable sleeping on the floor using my clothes as a blanket too, now that I think about it, except given the state of what was supposed to be washed (the bedding), I'm not sure the floor would have been any cleaner. The bathroom..had a weird toilet with a broken seat and the shower head inconvenienced short little me as well as my 6 foot tall significant other. Fantastic. And also now that I think about it, it's also not entirely unreasonable to ask that I don't see bugs trapped in the picture frames, that I don't see so many stains, and that I get a half decent room, not some ancient piece of shit room with an oldschool TV that's smaller than my laptop's display! Cheap or old I couldn't decide... Oh yeah, did I mention the wifi isn't included in the $8/day "resort fee" they tack on..it's another $13/day. No. thank. you. I also thought I got a non-smoking room. Nope. Maybe it was, but it stank like smoke. Every single building stank like smoke. I blame Nevada's laws. The upside: it had working AC. The pool was not bad but they closed the main one pretty early. We checked out the island buffet for dinner one night and the guy getting us drinks was amazing and actually remembered that my drink was an arnold palmer. The garden cafe had passable breakfast food. That's pretty much it. In the end....we booked a three night stay that unfortunately got shortened to two before the trip. Ended up staying here one miserable night and then hightailed it to the bellagio where we ended up paying 2-3x but for an experience that was so much nicer for the other night. It was well worth it to us.

Q: Yum! We visited the buffet for lunch. It was perfect for our group. There was no line, the only time we waited was for them to get our table together. They had a good selection of food, I personally was happy. I could have eaten a lot more prime rib and ribs, but didn't. I agree with some of the other Yelpers though, I wish they had a little bigger selection on desserts. 0ur waitress was cool, she even brought two cheesecakes over with candles in them for our two friends who were celebrating their birthdays. I'll be sure to visit the Bellagio buffet again in the future.

Q: First time visiting the store. I was so pleased and here is why. 1. Store was easy to find and well advertised. 2. Store was clean and stocked with necessary shipping products. 3. Staff was friendly and helpful. The lady that helped me offered to tape my box up for me. 4. I feel I got the best shipping rates possible. I would and will seek this location the next time I have to ship anything. The post office staff at the usps are so unfriendly it made this store location at ups my choice going forward.

Q: I'd read enough reviews online before we went to know not to expect much of anything. Old, not updated hotel with kids running around everywhere... check. Honestly, there weren't as many kids as I'd thought there would be, but I guess compared to the other hotels we visited there were quite a few. We stayed there because it was the cheapest option "on" the strip, and we'd rather use our money for other things... like booze. I made the reservation through some website, not the hotels directly, for tower rooms. I was told I'd most likely be able to upgrade to the West Tower (newly renovated) when I checked in; but they were sold out. We were stuck in the Skyrise Tower. Aside from the fact that our room smelled like a Playschool dollhouse, it was fine. No fridge or microwave though - luckily we knew this and brought a cooler to keep the drinks cold (priorities). But like I said, I knew not to expect much. The buffet was disgusting, like worse than my college cafeteria. However, for breakfast, it was awesome because as far as I'm concerned you can't go wrong with a plate full of greasy bacon and tater tots after a night of drinking. The staff is retarded. I think they all are retired carnies, who know nothing. Since we weren't leaving til 11pm on a red-eye, we tried for late check out/another night... again, sold out. All rooms were sold out, except for 2 rooms they had in the back manor "motel." Now I don't know what dead people smell like, but if I had to guess, they smell like the Circus Circus Motel. Luckily we didn't sleep there - just needed a place to store our luggage for the day and shower before the flight. But still for some reason in my heart I love this place. It's got some cheap, old school Vegas charm in a really weird, I-need-to-wash-my-hands kind of way.
