The Tropicana has pools and Jacuzzis dotting its grounds,
lush with trees and the odd waterfall. In keeping with
its wild theme, the Tropicana also heats things up with
its famed 'Folies Bergere' show.
From the grandeur of 'Folies Bergere' to the light-hearted
fun of the free bird show, the Tropicana's entertainment
offerings run the gamut of interests. The free 'Air
Play' takes place above the heads of gamers and, unlike
most Vegas shows, is free.
One Mr. James Bond (Sean Connery) had a comfortable
stay at the Tropicana in 1971's 'Diamonds Are Forever.'
Always the understated gentleman, Bond casually comments
in the film, ''I hear the hotel Tropicana is quite comfortable.''
The Tropicana, one of Vegas' classic hotels, offers
tropical landscaping, the Folies Bergere with its famous
showgirls and a beautiful pool with Vegas' first swim-up
blackjack table.
"I hear the hotel Tropicana is quite comfortable,"
Sean Connery said jauntily, in the 1971 James Bond film
"Diamonds Are Forever." More than 30 years
later, the Tropicana is still one of Las Vegas' brightest
stars, with its relaxed, confident air.
The Tropicana's adult diversions are blooming like never
before: The lushly appointed casino and lounges, world-class
entertainment including The Comedy Stop routinely featuring
new comedians; Las Vegas' longest-running production
show, the lascivious Folies Bergere; and The Magic of
Rick Thomas in the Tiffany Theatre. Other amenities
include a gourmet champagne brunch and the crowning
touch, the swim-up blackjack table, offered from Memorial
Day to Labor Day.
Although it's the smallest part of the "billion-dollar
quartet" at the corner of Tropicana Avenue and
Las Vegas Boulevard -- its neighbors are the MGM Grand,
The Excalibur and New York-New York -- the Tropicana
more than earns its reputation for classic charm, high
luxury and, above all, comfort. Diamonds may be forever,
but the Tropicana runs a close second. Mr. Bond, your
room awaits.
