OMG Have you visited the Tropicana lately?

So for those of you who haven't visited the Tropicana in the last couple of years, a great deal has changed. I remember the old Tropicana that was incredibly tacky, dirty, and disgusting. I was pleasantly surprised by the new renovations that have occurred over the last several years. They really have put some money into upgrading the gambling area.

The area is super fluorescent bright. In fact, I feel a lot safer than I did the first time being there. The place is clean and modernized. Also enjoyed their steakhouse Biscayne. Had the dry aged rib-eye which was moist and delicious and the lobster bisque. My colleague ordered a merlot, which he seemed to thoroughly enjoy.

Sorry folks. No pictures this time. Steakhouse and gaming area are worth checking out though. I know I will be back next time to try my luck.

Aren't the ceilings still really low in the gaming
area? I hate that..

Ceilings seem to be a little higher when you walk toward the back to head to the steakhouse. But as for the rest of the gaming floor, yeah they didn't move the ceilings. It is brighter and cleaner though. I would go back to gamble there for sure.

Sidewalks cleaner? Trashcans getting emptied from time to time? Butts being removed ever?

The Trop is next to Hooters.

Apt.

You must be thinking of the old Tropicana. Swing on by, and you'll notice the difference. I was shocked by the renovations. From dump to actually attractive looking place. Sure they could spend more money to make it better. But I was pleased when I was there.

I went there and the did the rebate promo. Place was terrific - big, soft, lush chairs, lots of free space, real nice looking table game area with very classy dealers and crew. Have no reason to go back. Or do I? How about an update on the good promos that might be available again since new year. Cosmo?
I don't subscribe to LVA any more since TC went from 80% to 100% asshole.

Just spent a night there a couple weeks ago. After buying one round at one of their bars I decided their VP paytables didn't look so bad after all.

It really does look much better in there. I'm surprised they were able to pull off the bright, white-heavy color scheme. Unusual for a casino, but a good move for the Trop.

Yeah, from the outside it looks like an empty slate. Didn't feel like walking in so can't comment on the inside.

I think it is just a lazy move to not decorate it with creativity or any further on the exterior because it will probably be bulldozed within 5 years.

It is MUCH cleaner though.
