I still like the Tropicana but am really, really disappointed in the pool closing. When I started looking for my replacement hotel (used to love the stardust) that was one of my \"must haves\". A pool & hot tub open all year. It used to be, at least the indoor pool and hot tub were open all year. Now they close it for the winter? It may be winter to Las Vegas natives but many of your guests are from real winter states and 70-75 degrees is plenty warm enough to go for a swim or to sunbathe. Not only does the pool close but they lock the grounds also so you can't even go out and sit in the sun on a lounger or take a walk in the grass. There is no reason I can think of that guests shouldn't be able to go out and sit in the \"resort\" area by the pool and gardens even if no swimming is allowed.  I'd love to hear the reasoning on that. For a $20 a day so called \"resort fee\" where's the resort part? Perhaps there should be a discount when the pools, hot tub and grounds are \"closed for the winter\"? No where in the advertising does it say this. I still love many things about the Trop, especially our casino host, and she is now the main reason I still stay here since to me the pool and grounds are enough to make me move. I haven't conviniced my other half yet but I have opened the conversation. If at least some of these things don't change for the better I will start looking again for a new casino to stay at.  We come several times a year, every year. Please reconsider at least the grounds being locked and allow those of us who live where there is actual winter to enjoy some sun. This last trip was quite disappointing. The pool area was opened until Friday the 14th but the nicest, warmest day, Saturday November 15 it was all of a sudden \"closed for winter\"? Many upset guests around that day, myself included.
