Tropicana Express

[bear4]

I haven't been to Laughlin since the Ramada Express changed its name to Tropicana.  Any differences, or same place renamed?

I'll answer my own question, as I and my bride just returned from Laughlin.  The Express is essentially the same, save for a few cosmetic changes. The table games pit was moved back, and the live poker room expanded along the south wall.  All the mechanical dollar token games are gone (they did away with the dollar tokens).
 
The Steakhouse still has, in my opinion, the best eats in town.
 
Karma is still good there.  I caught a royal on a progressive quarter bank machine for $1800, and my wife scored a double line royal on a quarter white hot aces triple play.
 
We'll be back in February.

How did you fare overall?  Sounds like a great trip!

we did OK, , trip fully financed, and came home with more cash than we went with, but no real life-changing money (read NO MEGABUCKS JACKPOT )
 
I forgot to mention that my wife also got another quarter royal at Harrahs.
 
Boy is she lucky!!
