Does anyone know how to get a great room that isn%26#39;t advertised on travel sites. I think these rooms are for high rollers and VIP%26#39;s. I did go a few years ago and just walked into Caesars and got a huge penthouse suite for a reasonable price. Also are there ';Tropicana shows'; still around? What other shows are recommeded? Where to eat? Where to buy tours to Hoover Dam etc? or rent a car and drive yourself?

Sure, be a high roller, whale or other VIP. You can always ask. Everything in Vegas is available. . .for a price.
What is a ';Tropicana show';?? Do you mean an old styly showgirl show? If so, Jubilee and Follies are your best bets.

Another method...a bit of a gamble like everything else there...is to check in fairly late at night, probably after 10pm. At some point in the evening blocks of rooms that have been held for ';casino guests'; are released back to the hotel operations for general usage.
We got a really nice upgrade at CP once when we checked in near mightnight after severe flight delays. Walked in to a mini-suite and saw a huge basket of fruit, free water bottles and an assortment of chocolates. Called the desk and they refered us to the casino side who said their guest cancelled so...enjoy.
Not sure what a Tropicana show is but if I am guessing right then Jubilee at Ballys would probably fit the bill. A spectacular show whatever it%26#39;s called.
Many many years ago we took a Grayline tour of Hoover and it was very relaxing versus driving. On the other hand we%26#39;ve often rented a car too and enjoyed the freedom to stop or divert from the plan on a whim.
The only restrictions on where to eat are expense and your tastes. Buffets offer the best value. The super bargains of years ago ($.99 breakfast) are pretty hard to find but there are still good deals like the $6.99 complete steak dinner at Ellis Island Casino...not on the menu, you have to ask for it.
If you%26#39;re not intending to establish credit at a casino, I would suggest checking the travel sites (e.g. Expedia) as a baseline for price, then go to the individual casino/hotel websites and and see what deals are available. Unless they come up with some fantastic combination deal, you%26#39;re almost always better off booking hotel directly.
As the economy continues to slide, the joints will get more eager to fill their empty rooms and the deals will get better. Right now you should have little trouble finding reasonable room rates on the strip ($69-$89 mid-week) coupled with various combinations of free meals, spa or show admissions, free play, and even return airfare.
There are a million places to eat from Slots A Fun%26#39;s hot dog stand to Michelin starred fine dining.
You might consider getting one of the many excellent books on Vegas to get an idea of what%26#39;s going on these days. And of course, you can always ask specific questions here.
