everything!
COED REVIEW:
When all the other hotels decided to become more
family oriented the Tropicana did the opposite.
With the Comedy Stop and exotic dance routine
of the Folies Bergere, the Tropicana caters to
the grown and sexy!
The Tropicana, one of Vegas' classic
hotels, offers tropical landscaping, the "Folies
Bergere" with its famous showgirls and a beautiful
pool with Vegas' first swim-up blackjack table.
"I hear the hotel Tropicana is quite comfortable,"
Sean Connery said jauntily, in the 1971 James Bond
film "Diamonds Are Forever." More than 25
years later, the Tropicana is still one of Las Vegas'
brightest stars, with its relaxed, confident air.
This is one of the few hotel/casinos that didn't
elect to chase the family market, and in the absence
of thrill rides and cartoon characters, adult diversions
are blooming like never before: The lushly appointed
casino and lounges, world class entertainment including
the Comedy Stop routinely featuring new comedians,
Las Vegas' longest-running production show, the lascivious
Folies Bergere and The Magic of Rick Thomas in the
Tiffany Theatre. Other amenities include a gourmet
champagne brunch and the crowning touch, the swim-up
blackjack table, offered from Memorial Day to Labor
Day.
Although it's the smallest part of the "billion-dollar
quartet" at the corner of Tropicana Avenue and
Las Vegas Boulevard -- its neighbors are the MGM Grand,
The Excalibur and New York, New York - the Tropicana
more than earns its reputation for classic charm,
high luxury and above all, comfort. Diamonds may be
forever, but the Tropicana runs a close second. Mr.
Bond, your room awaits.
Attractions:
The history of Vegas is enshrined at the Casino Legends
Hall of Fame museum. Catch the Tropicana's free shows:
Air Play, which features acrobats, jugglers and more,
and the Bird Show featuring Tina Carroll. A small arcade.
Entertainment: The Comedy
Stop routinely featuring new comedians, Las Vegas'
longest-running production show, the Folies Bergere
and The Magic of Rick Thomas in the Tiffany Theatre.
