The Perfect Spot on the Las Vegas Strip – The New Tropicana

I'm sad the Tropicana no longer exists. I wrote this post back in 2014 on a girls' trip and had such a great time. Now my hotel recommendation is The Flamingo!

Alright, let's be real—picking a hotel on the Las Vegas Strip can feel like trying to choose your favorite chocolate in a candy store. So many options! But don't worry, I've got you covered with my top pick: The New Tropicana! This place is like hitting the jackpot without even stepping into the casino. With a whopping $200 million renovation under its belt, it boasts 1,467 swanky guest rooms and suites that’ll make you feel right at home. And if you're looking to unwind, there's the Glow Spa and a beach club complete with VIP Cabanas—talk about living it up! Plus, they’ve got specialized wedding staff for those of you planning to tie the knot in style. Oh, and did I mention it's one of the few casinos on the strip that caters to locals? Yep, The Tropicana is where it's at!

Prepare to be surprised.  It's The New Tropicana Las Vegas.

So, even though we got this exclusive tour of the property, I gotta admit, I feel like we only scratched the surface of what Tropicana has in store for its guests. But hey, we did get a little VIP sneak peek at the Tropicana Theatre where MAMMA MIA is set to hit the stage starting Spring 2014! And let me tell ya, getting that behind-the-scenes look and strutting down the red carpet was definitely one of those “pinch me” moments on the tour.

Dining Options

If you're on the hunt for a dining experience that'll make your taste buds do a happy dance, you’ve got to check out these top-ranked spots! At Bacio, you'll find authentic Italian dishes that’ll transport you straight to the heart of Italy. Over at Biscayne Steak, Sea and Wine, they serve up sizzling cuts and fresh seafood that are simply divine. And for those late-night cravings or when you just want to chill in your PJs, Beach Cafe offers 24-hour dining both indoors and outdoors—perfect for any mood. Oh, and if you're feeling extra cozy? Just order room service and enjoy your meal snuggled under the covers! What really won me over at each place was their smaller seating areas. They made every meal feel like an intimate gathering rather than just another night out.

Special Events

Weddings, oh my! Let me just gush for a moment about how absolutely fabulous the ceremony and reception spots are at The New Tropicana. Seriously, if I were tying the knot again, The Tropicana would be right at the top of my venue list. Their wedding packages kick off at $600!! You can make it as fancy or chill as you want – because hey, it's YOUR big day!

Weddings by Tropicana Las Vegas is like a dream come true for any couple. They nail everything from that perfect ceremony to your storybook reception with such personal attention that you'll feel like royalty. They're all about making sure every little detail is just right so your wedding is exactly what you've dreamed of.

Final Thoughts on The Tropicana

There's just so much to gush about when it comes to the Tropicana! Seriously, they've got these fabulous new high roller suites that are just perfect for living it up. And if you're into a little gambling fun, their Trop Plus program is a must-check-out. For all you locals, they've rolled out special parking perks and even a Trop Plus for Locals—how cool is that? Swing by guest services to scoop up all the deets on what The New Tropicana has in store for you.

And talk about location! It's right across from MGM, New York New York, and Excalibur, so you're smack dab in the middle of everything. The rooms have had a makeover too—think 300-thread count linens (hello comfort!), 42″ LCD HDTVs for your binge-watching pleasure, and free high-speed wireless internet. It's like they thought of everything to make your stay super comfy and connected!
