The casino has the worst customer service of any casino in Atlantic City. They all seem annoyed when you ask for any assistance. I wish I could say this was just on one occurrence, but it is a regular thing.
The Trop has the highest parking charge of any casino in town ($10, most are $5 and the Atlantic Club is now free). The hotel needs some work. And there needs to be more a security presence in the hotel. The last time I stayed here I was woken up my a crazy woman screaming. This went on for the better part of 3 hours before finally someone from security came (and eventually ACPD). I used to like the buffet, but the price goes up and the quality goes down.
Not much better than the Golden Nugget. Full of older machines, not the cleanest and the food is OK but not spectacular. The employees didn't want to help anyone except for one slot attendant in the front smoking area. Everyone else including the slot club was not too friendly. We didn't eat there but did get a couple of drinks while playing and one girl was nice while the other was not. Example : one machine wouldn't let me order so I asked if I could order from her and she said no that "If the machine doesn't work right move to a different one" !
The Tropicana is a great place to visit if you don't mind driving to it. It's not an easy walk from the center part of the boardwalk. The shopping and restaurant choices are the best in Atlantic City and the game selection is excellent. Join the players club and you will usually receive a coupon book and emails with good offers!
I've stayed there at least 50 times, so I know a little about it. First, the rooms. The North Tower is terrible. Try to stay away from it. The South Tower is wonderful. If you like extra large showers, this is the place for you. If you're a Marathon runner or otherwise in incredible shape, the West tower is for you. Otherwise, try to avoid it.
They seem to have every slot machine there is. They try to keep them current and there are tons of them. The gaming atmosphere is pleasant and the staff friendly.
The buffet is okay. Nothing outstanding, but the food is good and there is plenty of choices. The breakfast buffet ($20) is terrific. Your eggs are made to order in front of you. Lots of sides to go with them.
The Quarter is filled with shops and restaurants. I can't tell you how pricey they are, but Brooks Brothers is very expensive. My favorite restaurant is Carmine's. It's an Italian family place with mega portions. Every meal is meant for at least 4 people. If you go with less, you will have lots of leftovers. So, order one item and you will all have plenty to eat. Since I usually go alone, I just order the garden salad. No matter how hungry I am, I never can finish it. I usually bring the leftovers to my room and have it for a midnight snack.
If you're into Asian card games, they have a large separate room devoted to that.
If you're a smoker, the entire downstairs area allows you to smoke. There are other scattered areas on the main floor where you can also smoke. Of course, about 75% of the casino is smoke-free, so there is something for everyone.
