cool resort

This is the best casino ever! It's so horribly tacky and had ME written all over it. The Celebration Lounge was just horrible (and I mean that with the most respect ever) the drinks were good and strong and cheap and the bartender was wearing cop glasses and look liked he just walked out of an episode of CHiPS.......if you're looking for superb upscale (which I do NOT) then this is not the place for you. It's so cheap and ridiculous.

This is the second place I ever stayed. It was so dead on the day after Thanksgiving that they upgraded me from a Garden Room (the bottom one) to the Paradise Tower (the best). Having said that, the room was nice but designed in the 70's and then never upgraded.The second time I stayed here, it was in the Island Tower. The room itself was ok but walking through a long tunnel being bombarded by people selling junk out of kiosks was annoying as shit.The gaming here is slightly above average to me, just people trying to have fun. Plenty of $5 blackjack tables, I noticed and the Comedy Shop was a good deal and very funny. Three good comedians and one drink for $20, a true steal in Vegas.The place is so tacky that it actually becomes cool. You can tell this place was pretty awesome in its day. Unfortunately, that day was in 1970.

great place to play. not the best for food. looking forward to the renovations.

The Trop is one of my standby favorites. They are constantly sending me calendars with discounted room rates, and even without those, you can almost always find a good rate online. Their location is pretty good -- you're a short walk via elevated walkways to MGM, NYNY and Excalibur (which has a free monorail to Luxor and Mandalay Bay).My wife and I really dig the kitschy old garden rooms. Some have big bathtubs and we get a kick out of the bamboo-framed mirrors on the ceilings. Another advantage to the back tower is that the elevator takes you directly to the pool. The pool area is large and the indoor portion of it stays open 24 hours.

Good value (25$) for a room on the strip. Be sure you get a room in the paradise tower, as the isalnd tower is old, and the garden rooms have been here since this joint opened in the 50s. (Pssst...20$ trick works here!) Nice 24 hour restaurant, decent buffet and coffee shop, and a pretty damn nice casino too. Overall well worth the measely price paid.

I love the location and room rates, I usually don't go to vegas to hang in a room so its great, don't care much for the Casino or restaurants. but a place to scope room rates for bargains.

Fun casino....I look forward to seeing the renovations.

Yuck, yuck, yuck. The mainstay of my best friend's parents (who got me a great rate there once-- thanks!), this property was tired and downright dirty. I got free tickets to the burlesque show at the time, and it was... interesting. Lofty pretensions with seemingly little real directorial sense to back it up. (I get the impression it may have fallen from greatness.) The only bonus might be the mirror above the bed in a faux-bamboo frame, if only my wife had been with me for that trip.

I still find the lowrise hotel buildings very charming with their balconies and dating back to the 50's and 60's. The Island tower might be worth $10 a nigh extra if you want to take a bath for two as those rooms have big tubs, and mirrors over the beds! But the strip tower (is it the Tiffany?) has really ugly furnishings and no big tub, no mirrors, no balconies. I think the only thing the LV Trop has going for it is anything that remains that is tacky. I hope they keep up the maintenance on the pool area, which of course is this place's one strong point.

great spot to lay your head for 2 hours a night....lousy casino

What's not to love?

ITS crap! But you feel less guilty starting the bathroom on fire..

I wish I could go back to the 60s to see this in its hey day.Just knowing the Dean Martin played here deserves top marks from me.

OK THE RIV IS OLD AND A LITTLE RUN DOWN, BUT HEY THE HISTORY OF THIS PLACE AND THE FEEL ARE ONE OF KIND! THE PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS GREAT AND YOU CAN JUST KICK BACK GAMBLE AND RELAX.

Adequate rooms ...nice to see the remodel though. A step in the right direction. Still has the feel of an older casino (which I like) Always friendly dealers and waitresses. Seems to always a seat open at most tables... still has $5 min on tables.Mostly a older crowd hangout.

Old school and proud of it. Stayed here my first trip to Vegas in 2004. Room suited me fine, as I don't care as long as the bed is comfy. If the new ownership wants to keep the Old Vegas vibe, they need to restore the front to the old look. The buffet here was o.k., the coffeeshop was better IMHO.

Site where a majortiy Martin Scoresse's movie Casino was filmed.. If you havent see this movie yet, You dont love Las Vegas and you know nothing..

It's not so dumpy like it used to be. New renovated sports book is very nice.

Stayed here for a wedding, haven't been back since they re-did the rooms. Pretty standard. Didn't care for the location.

Anti Favorite - this place sucks!
