Plumbing Problems Shut Down 560 Rooms at the Tropicana

Where: 3801 Las Vegas Blvd S [map], Las Vegas, NV, United States, 89109

We're not really so sure we want to know the nitty gritty deets of what exactly makes up a tower-wide plumbing issue at a hotel — one that causes 560 rooms to be taken out of the hotel's inventory (really!) — so we're just going to relay this news without asking too many more questions.

Apparently, a renovation to the Tropicana Las Vegas that happened in the 1990s (yes) had some plumbing issues that were not in compliance, and nobody noticed until now. Um, a decade later. So now the entire Paradise Tower of the Tropicana has been shut down, and current guests at the aging, perpetually-on-deathwatch casino hotel are being relocated to other rooms that aren't affected by the renovation or they'll be transferred to other resorts.

But, um, rooms are less than $50.00 there on most nights these days, so it's not like anyone is too outraged or upset. You get what you pay for, we suppose.
