![]() Our favorites are the Bungalow Deluxe Rooms, located just off the pool in two-story buildings, which feel very exclusive, and offer potent eye candy from their private balconies. Plantation-style shutters on the windows allow just the right amount of light in to highlight the bleach-white, high thread count linens bamboo and rattan furniture makes you feel like you’ve checked into a beach house rather than a Strip hotel room. The rooms, which were completely gutted, follow suit in terms of brightness. If you do stay here, you’ll find that the $200 million spent on renovations transformed the main floor from a dark, dingy casino into a bright, white gambling palace. It maintains its spectacular location, right on the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana, at great value to guests, and that remains its saving grace. They attempted to transport the Miami feel to its dining and pool parties, to minimal success, so the powers that be have kept things at status quo (reasonable rates, middle-of-the-road dining, active casino) until they discover the magic formula to make this once legendary property relevant again. But there isn’t much memorable about it anymore, which is a bummer. A number of restaurants and attractions have come and gone as the resort’s new owners (Doubletree by Hilton, believe it or not) have attempted to define the iconic resort’s new identity. Sadly, the Tropicana has lost its soul and its way.
