One of the more remarkable features of the property, and found on the casino floor, is a stained glass ceiling, installed more than 40 years ago, that was at risk during a proposed renovation a few years ago but was cancelled, keeping the ceiling safe from being removed/destroyed for now. The table games section is compact, but has some variety and features all the core games players will traditionally seek. The Video Poker isn’t anything to write home about, with the best pay tables at $1 denomination and above, and overall a step below many downtown casinos. There’s a high limit for higher limit players, but the bulk of the game are lower denom and/or lower limit games. It’s an interesting mix, more diverse than the average strip casino today. There are slot machines that haven’t moved on the floor in five years, and some are much older than that, but there are also new machines. Tropicana’s casino floor is certainly not the largest (it features only about 650 slot machines), but it’s certainly capable enough, with slots, table games and video poker. The South Beath theme the property has was reinforced in renovations over the past decade, and some unique architectural features are among the things that make the property special.

As one of the first properties I visited on the strip, it was also one of the first tastes of Vegas I ever had, and even at its age it still has a pretty unique theme. Tropicana Las Vegas is one of the oldest properties open today on the strip, and has a fabled history. Affiliate links have no impact on our recommendations.
