Mar. 18, 2007 - Next Adventure on the Strip

Mom and I went off on a new adventure.  This time we spent the night at the Tropicana.  Now The Trop. has been there as long as I have known that Las Vegas Nevada existed. 

We arrived and had to wait quite a bit for the valet to help us.  My mom can not walk very far so we had no choice but to wait.  Then we had a room upstairs and way to the back so it was a long haul.  We had to walk through a long hallway that has all sorts of shops.  Interesting stuff.  One good thing about being upstairs and away from the hustle and bustle, we had a room facing the famous Las Vega Strip.  We could even see the roller coaster at New York New York running.

Now some interesting things playing at the Tropicana.  Bodies  21 human specimens.  These are real bodies that show many things.  Th organs, the circulatory system.  Bodies that are overweight and have had lack of exercise. Healthy bodies, and one with black lung from smoking next to a healthy lung.

Also playing is Titanic a collection of artifacts.

Folies Bergere...real Las Vegas Showgirls!!!!

Xtreme Magic...lots of monstrous cats and magic galore

The Comedy Shop...todays brightest stand up people..tomorrows stars.

All in all our adventure was a good one.  I would visit there again.

Taking into account that the Tropicana is one of the older casino's, as mentioned in your post, has been there as long as you recall, how do you think it measures up to the new casinos link Wynns?
