We stayed at this "Resort" and yes i do agree with the other reviews, this was not like any resort i have stayed in before. However, it did the job, the staff was absolutely excellant to us and the Pool and Jacuzzi were very nice. We stayed in Building 2 and had no problems.
I feel like the room did it's job. When we walked in it was clean and big. The Hotel does charge a resort fee, so we put the do not disturb sign up (we stayed from October 1 until the 6th) when we needed new towels we brought them to housekeeping and asked for new towels, and brought extra small bags for garbage (from home) and threw it in the dumpster.
The room was sufficient, it had a blow dryer, iron and ironing board, toaster, coffee machine, refigerator, microwave, and utensils, plates, and glasses. It also had dish wash cloth's and soap. There was 3 of us and we had a 2 person room. So there was no couch, but we did bring an air mattress, sheets and blankets.
Ok Food wise. We didn't want to spend so much money on the strip every night so we went to Taco bell (which was 5 minutes walking distance), also a little spanish deli and got some Breakfast Burritos ($3.50 each) , There was also an AMAZING pizza place in the little center next to the hotel. It was called Payless Pizza (looks can be decieving, people a little grungy) But honestly very good pizza and salads. We mostly ate off the strip and went to Cesars Palace Buffet the last night. it was about $28.00 and offered king crab legs and shrimp cocktail (unlike other buffets).
Activities and Shuttles:
The Shuttle ran every 30 minutes. Once to drop off at Tropicana the other to drop off by Treasure Island.
Ok we were really on a tight budget when we came to Vegas but we found out the Tropicana Hotel offers a free pull on a big slot machine outside. If you go to the promotion desk they give you $10 free, no money necessary. You put it in the slot machine and just play until your money is up or unless you hit big, which we did, and we cashed out. And other than walking aroung hotel to hotel to view how georgous they are that was preety much it. The Clubs were cool and also casinos were all the same.
We did go to the Grand Canyon tours one day, But make sure you don't just buy a ticket, everywhere you go there are coupons to pay less for the trip. It is a long ride and my suggestion to you is that if you got on the tour bus DON'T go on the top deck. Get the table seats on the lower Deck. You have a long ride and comfort is key!!! Bring Snacks, a small blanket and be comfy.
Ok so that's all my advice that i can think of. I enjoyed my trip and hope that this does help people.
