We changed our plans to Vegas at the last minute and booked one night at the Hampton Inn Tropicana. We were pleasantly surprised when we called the hotel from the airport and found out that they have a free airport shuttle. We landed in Vegas around 8am and the shuttle picked us up. We were allowed to check in early, which was fantastic. We were also invited to eat breakfast, which was still being served. The breakfast was your typical hotel breakfast. The hotel lobby and common areas were very nice. We loved the room. Both the room and bathroom were nicely appointed and both very clean. The bed was comfortable. The hotel staff was very friendly as well. The shuttle dropped us off a few times at Mandalay Bay, which was an added bonus, as we were attending events there. If you need a place to stay near the strip that is a great price, this is a great choice.

only glitch with this hotel is that its a bit off from the famed Vegas strip.. but the drive to the strip is not more than 5 minutes.. take my word for it.. there are hundreds of casino cum hotels on the strip and i beleive in a similar price one can get a room in those hotels as well.. but before jumping onto this conclusion let me apprise you folks of the advantages this offers.. perfect smile greets you at the front desk.. rooms are very very spacious.. complimentary internet and lavish breakfast buffet are some of the other pro's.. has a decent pool with plentiful of pool shacks besides.. provides free shuttle service to the strip.. also in a similar price.. rooms in those casino cum hotels on the strip would be the cheapest one's and thus wont offer so much on platter.. thus if you have a car then this one is a perfect n better bet.. u wont regret for sure..

We stayed our last night here and the location is good for off Strip. Staff was excellent, allowed us to check in early as we came from another property and arrived early. They put us in what appeared to be a suite, it was great!
Room was big , clean and comfortable. Breakfast was the usual hot and cold selections typical of a Hampton property. We were not in our room but for a few hours to sleep and fly out the next day. We will stay here again, we had a good experience. I can not comment on the rate as I used my Hilton Rewards free night.
They do have a free shuttle to the Strip and the Airport. The New York New York and MGM Grand are close, you could walk if you wanted to however it is a busy street and passes over/ubder I-15.

As far as Hampton Inns go, this one was average. That is to say, it provided everything I would expect from a Hampton Inn - good bedding, good value, free wi-fi, continental breakfast with one hot item, etc. Great hot water and water pressure. The bar seemed quite nice and there is a smallish pool. The staff did not seem particularly enthusiastic or friendly which I found to be atypical of the brand.

I was here for a conference that was being held at the hotel. I would never otherwise have chosen to stay at this location (due to location - not the hotel itself). If you're in Vegas, why not stay on the strip, especially since rooms at nice strip hotels could be had for the same rate or less? There were a lot of Europeans at the hotel and some families. The hotel runs a free shuttle both to the airport and to the strip with stops at Mandalay Bay and New York, NY. The strip itself is about a 10-15 minute walk from the hotel, crossing I-15. There is an In 'N Out Burger across the street from the hotel and mini-mart at the gas station next door has a little bit of everything you might need.
