Vegas Tripping has a nice write-up on the Trop. It's not the nicest or funkiest or anything-est place on the Strip but it is very oldschool. And I think that's pretty cool. We've stayed there 2 of 3 trips to Vegas so I'll be sad when they finally get around to imploding it. (actually, I'm developing a Vegas tradition of only staying in hotels that are later imploded or re-branded -- Paddlewheel became the Debbie Reynolds and is now the Greek Isles; Algiers is gone; Aladdin is being re-branded into Planet Hollywood; Trop will probably be imploded w/in the next few years). But before that we'll have another chance to check out the stained glass casino pit, walk down the hallway of vintage Vegas photos (Dino! Cugat! swim-up blackjack!), get trapped in the crowds watching the parrot show...

Absolutely good times.
