More about Tropicana:

Built by M. Tony Sherman in 1957, since remodeled.

If you enjoy exotic Macaws and African parrots the "Wildlife Walk" between the hotel and low rise motel wings is worth viewing as are the tropical garden settings around the pool. Also at the Tropicana is the Casino Legends Hall of Fame, the world's largest collection of Nevada casino memorabilia: coins, gaming tokens, old slot machines, etc. Get a free admission coupon from the attendant at the free slot machine by the hotel's entrance.

Also of interest is the 20 minute long free Tiana Carroll's Bird Show that will remind you of Busch Gardens.
