Tropicana Race and Sports Book Review
When The Tropicana reinvented itself as a swanky South Beach-style joint, sports bettors were probably left wondering, "Where's the love, Trop?"
After going a while with just one walk-up betting counter, The Tropicana Race and Sports Book received quite an upgrade to go with its new look. The state-of-the-art, 4,200-square-foot sports book features 16 high-definition TVs, three of which are jumbo-sized, so you won't miss a minute of the action from anywhere on the betting floor.
In fact, you won't miss the action anywhere you go in the resort: With the handheld eDeck mobile device, you can place prop bets from almost anywhere in the casino, or play a few casino games: Blackjack and Baccarat.
You might not see that field goal if you're out and about, but you'll definitely see the money you just made from it.
