If anyone knows the official approach to doing this at the Trop, tell me what you know. Clearly I need to get on this ASAP in order to ship the cheapest way.
I'll mail out as many boxes as I reasonably can, probably 5 max if possible, up to 100 lbs. If I have to deal with the Trop and it's expensive, I'll mail out fewer boxes.
The official methods for shipping to the Tropicana are to send to the address for the hotel. The packages can be sent to either the front desk, or to the Business Center. Put the package as attention to the guest name. Or if you are sending the packages as a business then include the business name. But the guest name is preferred.
The address would look like this:
Tropicana Hotel
Attention Guest: [insert your name here]
3801 Las Vegas Boulevard South
Las Vegas, Nevada 89109
USA
Local Phone Number: +1-702-739-2222 x3653
The toll free phone number for north American access is 800-468-9494 x3653. Extension x3653 is for the Tropicana Hotel Business Center.
The Business Center is open every day from 8 AM to 5 PM. If you want to retrieve a package the business center has received for your guest name the front desk can do so with the proper ID.
When I last called the Business Center was closed. So I don't know if there is a fee to receive packages. For last CGE at the Riviera their business center charged per box. So I advise calling ahead to know the structure of the Tropicana's policies and fees on receiving packages. I would not be surprised to learn of similar charges. They are a hotel and convention facility after all.
