Re: Tropicana AC a dump?
I've stayed there probably 10 times in the last 5 years- never had a problem with the rooms. It's not glamourous but is functional for a good night's sleep, and not expensive if you get the poker rate $80 to 100 on Fri and Sat nights. Do not worry, you'll be pleased.

Re: Tropicana AC a dump?
like you said its no Borgata. So if you expect Borgata you will be disappointed. Everytime I've stayed there its been about what I expected. I've never been to AC to enjoy the hotel room. Although I will admit the beds at Borgata are money.

Re: Tropicana AC a dump?
I've stayed in the old wing at the Trop and the rooms are in serious need of renovation. However, the Quarter is very nice and there are lots of nice bars and restaurants. Incidentally, Aztar's other property, the Trop in Las Vegas is a serious dump. Hope you have a good time.

Re: Tropicana AC a dump?
Make sure to get a room in the West Tower. It's the one put up most recently before the Havana Tower, and is still in OK shape - I've always enjoyed staying there. The North tower rooms are horrible and should be avoided.
The poker room is fine, but the clients include a contingency of bums that shouldn't be allowed in. I've had to leave games because of unbearable sweat & urin odors on several occasions. Best, McMelchior (Johan) |

Re: Tropicana AC a dump?
Thanks for the advice. Do I need to phone ahead to make sure I get a West Tower room do you think?
Some other questions for while I'm there - which of the new poker rooms should I check out? I don't really care too much about game selection - nice chairs, chips, waitresses and drinks service are what I'm after (other than the Borgata). Proximity to the Trop would be a bonus. |

Re: Tropicana AC a dump?
And a key follow-up question - does the Caesar's poker room serve bottled beer?

Re: Tropicana AC a dump?
The Showboat/House of Blues new room is very nice. Great chairs and ok wait service.
Ceasars room is ok and I found the staff to be friendly. They are running a WSOP event soemtime during the 1st quarter so they have been working on improving the quality of their dealers. Sorry can't remember about the beer. Ballys has a nice room but the dealers don't understand poker or english. |
