The Tropicana is a small hotel compared to everything else on the strip. The facelift included tropical themes and a full assault on the senses. (Dang that coconut smell!) While the rooms are pretty, the hotels amenities and features leaves much to be desired. +1 for decor: The entrance is really bright. It is definitely smaller compared to the other hotels on the strip. The casino is smaller and is quite intimate. I actually like this feature because the smoke is lighter compared to the heavily crowded casinos such as MGM's. +2 location wise, it is at the other end of the strip. It is away from the noise--and the attractions such as Hard Rock Cafe and Miracle Mile Shops. So if you're in town to wine and dine plus gamble a bit, then this is the place for you. But if you're the in the clubbing crowd, then this is not the best place to stay. -2 for features and amenities: That coconut smell will ASSAULT you as soon as you enter. It made me very dizzy the first time as it mingled with the smoke. Of all the tropical scents out there, coconut--really? They couldn't have picked like ocean scent breeze or something LIGHTER? Our room didn't come with a fridge. That made me sad as we were hoping to keep some water cool in the room. The ice also melted way too fast. Otherwise, the room was actually pretty decent. There is a definitive tropical theme. Over 5'10? Get ready to duck in the shower. It is too low. The toiletries SUCKED. I guess it wasn't part of their $180M budget. See, if you didn't bring your own toiletries, then be prepared to smell EXACTLY LIKE the Tropicana for the rest of your stay. I guess that one of the ways they are promoting the hotel is to make everyone on the strip aware of the coconut scented patrons. Yuck. Don't count on getting any drinks OR food poolside--the cocktail waitresses we have encountered in our 4 day stay kept on one side and chatted with each other the entire time. +1 for the front end staff we have encountered. The people at the doors were lovely. Very helpful and polite.
