After reading some reviews about how bad the service was and of how awefull the rooms were etc etc, I was hesitant on staying there.. But unfortunately, I booked the room BEFORE reading all the negative reviews. Upon arriving to the hotel for check-in and receieving my room keys(room 1071) , I was quite suprised on the size of the room and the cleaningness of the room. We were very satisified with the room for what we paid. Dont believe all the negative reviews that are on here... Sure there might be some nasty photos of blood on the pillow case, but how do we know that the blood wasnt put there by some disgruntled guest? Overall, I give this hotel high marks and recommend it. If something is wrong with your room, The staff will be more than happy to put you in a different room... The only negative things I have to say are that the bathroom would close, but the lock didnt work... But it was no big deal... The other thing is that we had asked for an ice bucket and were told that it would be brough to our room... It was never brought... Understandable though considering that it was Memorial Weekend and the staff was very busy... Plus, the ice machine was right around the corner so we just used one of the bowls that are provided for you and went to get the ice... Again,, NO BIG DEAL... We are thinking about going back to Vegas in July,, Guess were we are staying,, Thats right,, Emerald Suites Tropicana...

I would not hesitate to recommend this property. Clean, large rooms. Full size range and oven, full size refrigerator. This isn't a fancy strip hotel, but you are not paying $300 for a weekend night either. A couple of irritants - to use the internet in the lobby you must buy a card ($11 for 30 minutes - outrageous). But they did print out boarding passes for free. They asked for driver's licenses for all adult occupants - give me a break - if I wanted to bring a hooker in, I sure wouldn't tell them at registration.

Previous reviews have mentioned proximity to the railtrack, whilst agreeing that it does run very close to the back of this property, we never found the noise offensive and besides the trains were not that frequent.
The suites were very pleasent, well equiped and cleaned daily by very efficient and friendly staff (on arrival we found little crockery, mentioned this to housekeeping an immediately received a full set). The pool and spa were also well kept and were very welcome after a hot day on the strip.
Location to the strip was as stated @1 mile, a 20 minutes stroll or 5 minutes by bus (CAT 201)-very good value !
We had read that the area around the suites was frequented by undesirables, this we thought a little unfair, sure there were a few people who were down on their luck, but you will find that in any city in the world, we never felt intimidated nor were given reason to be.
All in all we had a really great two weeks stay at Emerald Suites Tropicana. Thanks to the hard working staff. We have no hesitation in recommending this establishment.

Went to Las Vegas for the first time this April. Read all the positive and negative comments, decided it seemed like a reasonable choice and found out that it certainly was. In fact, for us, a family of 5, it was close to ideal. Rooms were clean. When we needed more towels and the like they were easy to get (in all honesty we usually just brought the old ones to the cart and grabbed more). The workers were friendly and polite. When we went to the front desk to use the computer to print our return boarding passes, it was broken. So the staff let us use the computer and printer behind the desk. They were very accommodating. Beds could have been a mite softer for my tastes but my girlfriend and our kids were fine with them. We were on the train side of the complex and they certainly went by but didn't bother us. It doesn't have elevators, but we can walk up and down a few stairs (we were on the 3rd floor). The kitchen area saved us $$ on food. Kitchen utinsels and dishes were not overly plentiful, but paper plates and plastic utinsels are fine for us. All the appliances were in good working order. For budget travelers who have a larger group and are staying several nights, it worked great.
