Tropicana Resort and Casino

Located at 3801 Las Vegas Boulevard South, the Tropicana Resort & Casino is one of the original casinos to occupy a spot on the strip. The hotel consists two towers - the Island Tower and the Paradise Tower - that together consist of 1,875 guest rooms. Some Island Tower rooms are furnished with mirrored walls and ceilings (ooh-la-la). The Paradise Tower is more traditional, and all rooms have a safe and a couch.  

The Tropicana doesn't have the wide-open gaming floor as in Caesar's and the MGM Grand, but rather opted for a smaller, cozier setting. The atmosphere is very comfortable and laid back – a nice setting to camp out in front of a slot machine. There are a wide variety of slots available, as well as video poker and table games. Additionally, guests can play Lucky $20, where a $20 buy-in gets you $50 in slot play (on designated machines) for your chance to win $50, $100 or $500 or other prizes. Also available are the Free Pull slot machines, located at the casino’s main entrance and the pedestrian walkway entrance, offering visitors a chance to win $5,000 in cash. Leroy’s Sports Book presents wagering on all major sporting events as well as daily parlay cards. Open daily 8am to 9pm Sun.-Thurs., and until Midnight Fri. and Sat.

Between the hotel’s twin towers is a five-acre water park featuring three sparkling pools, one indoor pool heated year-round, five spas, cascading waterfalls, and two lagoons surrounded by tropical foliage. For those who cannot decide on whether to take a dip in the pool or to keep on gambling, the Tropicana provides guests with swim-up blackjack tables, complete with a special waterproof layout and money dryers. Imagine that you just won a few bucks while in the pool, and at the same time just met the girl/guy of your dreams floating around in a tight swimsuit drinking strawberry daiquiris; it is precisely for situations such as these, that the full-service Island Wedding Chapel is located on the property -- to bring people together!  

The Tropicana’s newest addition is the Casino Legends Hall of Fame, featuring the largest collection of Nevada casino and entertainment memorabilia ever assembled. The Tropicana Resort & Casino also boasts about its Island Water Park, which features a total of five acres of tropically landscaped grounds, pools, lagoons, waterfalls and exotic fish and birds.

The resort also features plenty of entertainment, including the “Folies Bergere”, a musical tribute to the Parisian cabaret; the ever-common Las Vegas magic show, with a large in-flux of diverse performers; and The Comedy Stop At The Trop, a classic comedy club that showcases talent from all over the nation.

Aside from the aforementioned amenities, the Tropicana has several cocktail lounges, a cigar club, singing bartenders, and eight restaurants ranging from gourmet to buffet, among other attractions
