We have stayed at the Tropicana once or twice a year for the past several years, but I think this trip (Dec. 19-21,2011) will be the last.
In November, after checking on-line for prices, I called the Tropicana and made reservations even though the price was higher by a couple of dollars then several other hotels in Laughlin.
When we checked in I was told the room would be $19.95 per night, a good price, but not the price I had been given when I made the reservation. I thought I had been quoted $17.00, but the clerk said "we never do $17.00". There is a chance I could of misheard 17 for 19, but the price I was quoted was in even dollars, no change. Today,(12/22/11) on-line, I saw rooms at the Tropicana for $17.00.
Because of a physical disability a handicapped room was requested. I suppose the room we paid for (318) qualified, it was close to the elevator, the toilet qualified and there were handrails. The shower controls could not be reached from the shower seat and the shower floor was so slippery that when I stood up to adjust the temperature I almost fell. I ended up putting a hand towel I could reach, on the shower floor, so I could stand up.
The bed was so low to the floor it was below my knees when I stood beside it and it definitly was not one of your 'PILLOW TOPS". Needless to say it was not easy to get in or out of this bed even with the help of a cane. Not exactly handicap friendly.
After this experience I will have to think long and hard before I stay at the Tropicana again.
