Tropicana Las Vegas - A DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel

A lovely hotel. Very nice staff. Watch out where your room is. If it's against the elevators, it's noisy. We heard crickets all night, thinking they were indeed crickets. In the morning, we found out that the 'crickets' were the elevators against our room. To Tropicana's credit, they have offered to move us. Sadly, I'm still in the room packed up ready to go, but no one has offered word on when or where I'm going. And, the phone in my room isn't working, and no one seems to care. If things improve, I'll update this review. Right now, I'm viewing the lovely MGM outside my window and questioning my choice.

The resort looks nice, but after visiting others on the strip I wouldn't plan on coming back. You can stay a lot nicer places with little to no cost difference. It's old and it shows. Prior to our arrival we did not realize the pool would be closed, nor were we told upon check in. That was disappointing. I'm not sure the purpose of the resort fee if the amenities you pay for are not accessible. The gym is in the spa, a little strange. Our room was in the side near the airport and it was noisy. The bed was just okay, pillows were uncomfortable and there was some kind of HVAC system or machine kept coming off and on outside our window. The hotel room was a standard hotel room. Staff were friendly, but I'm surprised this is a Hilton property, usually their hotels are so much nicer. I am also surprised that it costs the same as much nicer properties in the area. The one major plus is you can walk everywhere and the city center tram is just across the street.

I’m a former Las Vegas residence of 4 years so I have a lot of first hand Experience working with these properties. I did recently stay at the Tropicana and had a great experience. Here’s my feedback: HOTEL: The rooms are very clean and very spacious. Obviously by looking at the pictures I posted you can see they are in need of room renovation. However! This shouldn’t take away from the value you get while staying at the Trop. Not many hotels still offer free coffee + 2 daily bottles of water so there is definitely some perks to the room. The beds are very comfortable and clean. The bathrooms feel a bit older but I didn’t have any issues with my stay. Besides this is Vegas no one wants to waste time staying in a room all day. Casino is nice and clean, with a good crowd. Clean rooms, AMAZING STAFF and don’t forget your warm cookies when checking in! We got a below market rate booking via FlyStayGo Pro LOCATION: If you’re coming to Vegas for the first time and are looking for a great value here it is! The hotel is minutes from the airport and at the South end of the strip. It’s perfect for a first time Vegas trip or if you come here often. You are walking distance to everything. You’ll be at one end of the strip but keep in mind the strip is a few miles long so you can walk the entire thing in less than an hour (if you don’t stop). If you have a concert at T-Mobile, show at Park MGM or MGM Grand then you’re right across the street from where you need to be. You can access everything from this location. Overall a great location if you’re visiting. FOOD: The Tropicana has several food options with a Starbucks inside for a quick coffee fix as well. You’ll have plenty of good options in the hotel but you’re in Vegas so you can go anywhere at anytime to eat something off property. OVERALL VALUE: I think you get a lot for what you pay when it comes to Vegas. The resort fee is a bit high but you’re not paying for parking and you’re on the strip for quick access to anything you need. Great for all types of travelers, especially those who prefer to spend time in the market and not in your hotel room. CONS: shower towels could be newer and resort fee is too high.
