A Las Vegas classic, the Tropicana Resort & Casino is open daily 24 hours, seven days a week. Situated on one of the better corners in Vegas, it is easy walking distance from the MGM Grand, Luxor, Excalibur, and New York New York. The Trop still attracts a reasonably youthful, upper-middle class clientele, largely thanks to its wonderfully landscaped lagoon-style interconnected swimming pools, one of which features a swim-up blackjack table.
The table games include 3 Card Poker (3 tables) Blackjack (23 tables), Caribbean Stud Poker(1 table)- $0.05 to $25 bets Craps (3 tables), $0.05 to $3.00 bets Let it Ride ( 2 tables), Poker (6 tables), Roulette (3 tables), and Triple odds Craps (1 table). Bet minimums start at $5 at blackjack and other card games. The Trop’s crap tables offer 3x4x5x odds, which is standard for the Strip. The Tropicana is fairly free with their comps. If you play $10 and up for a few hours at the tables, you should be able to ask for a buffet or coffee shop comp. Room comps can be had for several hours of $50 a hand play, or a few hours of $100 play.
The Trop’s 1,285 slots include 360 Nickel machines, 437 Quarter machines, 13 Half Dollar machines, 319 Dollar machines, 45 Five- Dollar machines, 8 Twenty-Five Dollar machines, 3 Hundred Dollar machines, 132 Multi-denomination Slots, and 400 Video Poker machines. Popular titles include Anchor's Wheel of Gold, Megabucks, Wheel of Fortune Progressive Dollar Slots, and Elvis. The Tropicana’s slot club is good for free rooms either mailed to you, or deducted at check-out.
The sports book is underwhelming, with seven televisions, none of them big screens. There are 25 reasonably comfortable seats, with four betting windows with hand-written boards. Minimum wager is $5, and is sports only, no racing.
The Tropicana provides its guests with a eight different dining choices: Calypsos is an above-average 24/7 coffee shop; Island Buffet offers an afternoon pasta bar, as well as prime rib and shrimp for dinner; Mizuno's, a Japanese steak house; Pietro's, a French gourmet restaurant; Savanna, an American steakhouse; Tuscany Italian Café, an Italian restaurant; and Java Java, which serves deli-style food.
