Whitewashed High-Rise Hotel on Strip with Tropical Ambiance Resorts
in Vegas take great pleasure in defying their geography: in a quick
cab ride, you can visit a replica of the Eiffel Tower and a
decadent Roman palace. Tropicana Las Vegas is no exception. Palm
trees and white day beds line the nearly 2-acre pool, though the
nearest coastline resides hundreds of miles away. The South Beach
atmosphere is the result of $180 million transformation, completed
in 2011. It was money well spent, according to Las Vegas Weekly ,
which recognized the hotel as Best Comeback of the Year. The
sprawling pool snakes underneath the pedestrian bridge that
connects the resort's two 20-story towers. Waterfalls splash beside
the pool's edge and next to the outdoor patio of the Beach Café,
which serves poolside cocktails alongside salads and burgers. For a
more elegant dining experience, head to Biscayne Steak, Sea &
Wine for aged rib eyes and lobster tails or smuggle takeout into a
24-hour wedding chapel. At Bacio by Carla Pellegrino , the
eponymous celebrity chef whips up Old-World classics such as penne
alla vodka and scaloppini al marsala. Las Vegas Strip: Multifaceted
Entertainment Mecca Modern slots no longer dispense piles of
quarters, but the trill sound of a winning slot machine still
resonates as the siren song of Vegas. The Tropicana Las Vegas' own
casino is pepped with more than 800 slots, set among a
race-and-sports-book area and tables huddled with card sharks
playing no-limit hold 'em poker. Gambling, however, is hardly the
property’s only source of entertainment . On April 14, Dancing with
the Stars: Live in Las Vegas kicked off its 12-week run at the
Tropicana Theatre, with some of the show's top alums such as Carson
Kressley, Joey Fatone, and Kyle Massey. In the Tropicana Las Vegas'
southern tower, the Mob Attraction Las Vegas showcases the
underworld history of the Vegas Strip dating back to Prohibition.
More than 1,000 historical artifacts—including personal mementos of
mobsters from Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel to Charles “Lucky”
Luciano—and live actors illustrate the nebulous behind-the-scenes
workings of organized crime. Read the Fine Print for important info
on travel dates and other restrictions.
