The hotel became affiliated with DoubleTree by Hilton in 2012. The hotel has 1467 guest rooms and two towers, the Tiffany Tower and the Island Tower. Today its name is held exclusively for the Las Vegas area.
Over the years, the property has endured a complicated chain of ownership changes, difficulties due to the influence of organized crime in the city, and lawsuits to secure the name. This is separate ownership from any other Tropicana casino in other cities they’re not connected to the Las Vegas hotel. It is currently owned by Penn National Gaming. The Tropicana first opened in 1957 on the Strip and was built by Ben Jaffe, a Miami developer who wished to open a Cuban-styled hotel, making it one of the very oldest casinos in the city. North of it, across the Avenue, is MGM Grand, with Excalibur right across the Boulevard. This property sits on the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue, the south end of the Strip.
