I have stayed at most of the hotels on the strip before. Tropicana is not really that bad. \n\nThe place gets old, I agree, but for its location and its price. It is affordable and it doesn't break your wallet. I remember staying at 1 of the towers and got a pretty good view of the strip. For less than $60/day/on the strip, you can't beat that. \n\nAnd I don't see why Circus Circus gets more stars than \"the Trop.\"
