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,

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.

And a key follow-up question - does the Caesar's poker room serve bottled beer?

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.
