The Tropicana is a nice hotel. Our room was in the Promenade tower 10th floor pool view. The quickest way to get to it is through the parking structure or by the pool entrance. But it is always nice to walk through the casino floor and enjoy the cool A/C. There are plenty of elevators and they are quick to take you to your floor.

The Room:

There is no mini fridge in case you are wondering. The room was clean and smelled clean, you know sometimes there are those rooms that smell damp. The television was a small 32" screen, a bigger television would of been nice. The room did include an iron but no ironing board, it was missing. I usually bring my own iron but this time I forgot it so I used the hotel iron and it worked like it was supposed to it just took a few minutes to really get the steam going. The little table in the corner was my ironing board.
Also included in the room is a 1 cup coffee maker, 2 packs of coffee in a pouch, 2 packs of sugar/sweetner/creamer/stir sticks. I am a big coffee drinker I love a cup of coffee in the morning. But upon inspection of the inside of the coffee maker it was dirty and a bit dusty where the water goes(see picture). I cleaned it out and bought my own instant coffee. I just used the coffee maker to get hot water. The coffee provided was weak.

Room Service:

Typical room service. They make your bed, vacuum the floor, clean the bathroom. We usually use the same towels during our stay. But room service gave us clean towels every day during our 3 day getaway.

Food:

There are plenty of choices from. There is an iItalian restaurant, a stakehouse, pool side cafe, hot dog stand by the pool also, another cafe serving american food, and of course the buffet. The buffet is not pricey at all. One thing I wish they had for the breakfast buffet is an omelette station. We only tried the buffet at the Tropicana so not much to say about the rest of the food choices.

The Pool:

If you go down to the pool before 3pm get there early to get chairs and an umbrella. There are only 5 or 6 umbrellas and not much shade. After 3pm the Promenade tower provides shade. No coolers are allowed. You can take your alcohol just don't make it obvious hide it some (example: buy coke bottle take a sip replace what you drank with jack or water bottles use empty ones and pour ready to drink jose cuervo margarita mix looks like lemonade) Or you can purchase drinks from the poolside bar.

Casino: If you win more than what you put in cash out, take your winnings.

Hope this helps.
