Historic garden rooms

It is something that a lot of folks don’t think about but If you look at the old photos, from say the 40’s, 50’s and even into the 60’s, a lot of the famous Las Vegas hotels looked a lot like a motel to our modern eyes. This is pretty much what they were. Folks would drive in from say LA and that worked back then. Later air travel was promoted, see the display at McCarran, and that became the way to arrive. Later, space being limited, the towers were added and the rest is history.

So when you look at the “garden rooms”, many times you are seeing the original hotel, not the overshadowing towers. Naturally, dating from so long ago, if they are not kept up, they can get a little funky to say the least.

Great eye for detail. This is one thing I like about the Tropicana, they still have the garden rooms to give you a glimpes of the past. If you know what to look for. I have only played, never stayed at the Trop. I have thought about staying in the garden rooms before it is imploded.
