Back in January, sometimes-blogger Wes Salmon headed to the CES conference out in Sin City.  He booked a room at the Tropicana, but was extremely disappointed.  What did he find wrong with the joint? Here's a partial list:

• The whole hotel smelled like a YMCA locker room
• The TV only had 22 channels on the TV, and only about one third of them came in clear enough to watch
• The housekeeping staff were completely incompetent
• The ceiling in my bathroom was leaking from the ventilation system
• They charged me $1 a day for local phone service even though I never even picked up the phone (*ed note many Vegas hotels do this, not just the Tropicana)

Check out Wes' other thoughts on the Tropicana, and be sure to read the comments, there are some good hints in the thread.
