I have never stayed overnight at Tropicana but looking forward to staying tonight with my sister and looking forward to your nice rooms I have only heard about, hope to enjoy your slot machines, and enjoy some of that good food there, like when I visited before in January of 2015! Thanks for being such nice casino! Hope to have lots of fun while there!!!

Went there on a Saturday night. Was pretty much disappointed with almost everything. The parking garage was a nightmare. It took 10-15 minutes to go up 4 levels and park! I walked in and through the landing area where they have restaurants, bars and a small gift shop. There was a small crowd listening to a jazz or blues band.Once on board the actual boat, I realized how small and crowded it was. I think they had three levels, but I swear it seemed like every seat at every table or machine was taken, and also had a line waiting. Maybe I'm spoiled because I've been to Las Vegas several times, to Tunica, and live in St. Louis where we have 6 decent sized non-riverboat casinos. But the previousl night I was at the riverboat casino in Elizabeth, IN, across from Louisville. That one seemed at least 2x as large, and far less smokyThe lines was so bad I had to struggle to get a beer from the bar, waiting a good 5-6 minutes. Once I finally managed to get a seat at a machine, the bad luck hit and it started eating my stake pretty fast. I changed to a different game but the same luck followed me. I gave up and left.On the way out, I stopped by the gift shop to look at shot glasses, which I collect. They had none! Really? That made no sense to me. I did wander down to the landing and watched the Jazz/Blues Band that was playing. They were very good, and I thought about staying for that, but it was also very crowded - standing room only with people spilling out across the landing area, and no cocktail service to be found out there.There was an upscale restaurant on the floor above the landing - looked like mainly steaks and seafood. I didn't go in though as I was still stinging from my bad luck.I will not go back to this casino, but if I'm ever back in town with my wife and/or friends, it might be fun to take them to the landing area.

Although you can walk across the air tunnel,we decided to walk across the street which is closer. Upon entering the street entrance we couldn't help notice how dirty and in much need of painting the entrance was. Inside the casino the carpets had spots on them and the stairs going down to the next floors were dirty. There are six food facilities on property but only one was open.We stayed at the Tropicana Hotel. Upon arriving,the two girls at the check-in desk ignored us while one talked on the phone and the other played on the computer. No one else was in line. After about what seemed like ten min. the one girl registered us. We were then told there would be no water in the room for three hour That when we went to the casino. After returning to our room more than three hours later I went to take a shower and there was no hot water Only cold water..Called the Desk who sent a service man who finally told us there wouldn't be hot water till morning. Needless to say we left the next morning. We had planned on staying two days.The only thing good I can say about this visit is that the rooms were nice and newly remodeled.

Place discriminates and picks and chooses who they allow onto the casino! I have a large family who will drive an hour to another casino because of the way they treat patrons!You always have eyes on you so be careful because they are always taking your pictures while sitting at the tables and running them through servalliance to see if your a felon.Machines are tight and employees not friendly.I heard that they are very good at banning former employees because they seem to know the underhanded cheating that happens. They changed their name from Casino Aztar but still ban previous employees even with a name change.

From Gladys W.I really like Tropicana. I ride the bus from Nashville, TN. Recently some friends and I went to Metropolis -- food was good, but "machines were as tight at Dick's hat band" -- old saying! We won't be going back there any time soon! I enjoy the slots at Tropicana -- not nearly as tight at Harrahs in Metropolis, IL. I get free play in the mail from Tropicana and am planning on staying at the hotel soon as I hear there has been $7 million dollars spent renovating the rooms, etc. -- sounds exciting!!! I always enjoy Tropicana. I really like Max & Erma's -- sometimes my friends and I can sit by the window and see the great Ohio River -- food is great and so is the service!Also I don't believe most people smoke as much as they used to do at this casino or any casino we visit. My sister and I used to wear scarves around our neck to put over our noses if the smoke got too bad. We haven't done that in quite a while.Always a day packed full of fun and enjoyment -- wonderful mini vacation for me and my friends! Thanks for everything Tropicana -- hope to visit your great casino soon!!!

This is probably the dirtiest casino we've been to. Comparing to Vegas it's like the old downtown casinos only not as clean and nice. It's also the second out of probably 30 casinos we've been to that charges for drinks. Not that we expected to win, because very few of our friends have there, but we left after about 40 minutes of coughing thru the three levels. Save your money and time.

While the casino can be a fun place to hang out, I can't believe with all of the evidence about the hazards of second hand smoke that this place would even allow people to smoke indoors. One only has to be in there 15 minutes to come out congested and smelling like a dirty ashtray. In addition, the employee who cashed out my tickets, though friendly, coughed on her hand and then touched my money. I guess I can't blame her for coughing since she works in that toxic dump. Please come into this decade and ban smoking at the casino.

The staff everywhere was friendly and it was clean, but it was too crowded to get at any tables. We didn't have much luck at the slots so we did not stay long. Make sure you go up top to the observation deck to see the view. They have free cokes and coffee but other drinks you have to pay for unlike at other casinos.

I have been in many casinos. I will not repeat this. The smoking in the casino was a complete thumbs down. Black Jack was only in the smoking area. The non-smoking area was at the bottom floor of the casino. You literally had to travel through 2 smoke filled floors to reach the non smoking area. Hmm, wonder why the non smoking area smelled like it smoking was permitted. Hey Evansville-wake up. It's 2014! I'll take my money to another state!

Nice casino but kind of dark and seem to always donate- seems pretty tough to win anything even your money back you put in .
