Tropicana Resort And Casino was appropriately christened the 'Tiffany of the Strip' when it was built in 1957 on the corner of Tropicana and Las Vegas Boulevards in the south section of the Strip. At that time it was truly an island, surrounded by a vast expanse of desert. Now that same location is considered one of the hottest in Las Vegas. Newly remodeled rooms in the Paradise Tower feature king beds or two queens, all with spectacular views. Jacuzzi suites are also available. The resort has a five-acre water park, with lagoons, spas and waterfalls. It even has the city's only 'swim-up' blackjack table. There is also a Wildlife Walk with tropical birds and other animals in their natural settings.
