The last an only time I had stayed at the Tropicana prior to this trip was about 10 years ago before the renovations, it was pretty awful back then!\n\nMy husband found a great deal on hotwire, and I had heard a lot about the renovations that had been done so we decided to give it another shot. It is definitely much improved, though not up to par with a lot of the other swanky hotels on the strip. It's by no means swanky! But it was clean, the rooms were comfortable and surprisingly quiet.
