Tropicana Casino & Resort Atlantic City Parking Rates 2023

A steady presence in Atlantic City since 1981, The Tropicana Casino & Resort is a true AC landmark, with 2,400 hotel rooms, 25 restaurants, shops, 18 bars, entertainment venues, and oh yeah, 125,000 plus square feet of casino space.

The resort is spread out over five city blocks. With the addition of the Chelsea, the Tropicana now has five hotel towers.

All of this combines to create a big need for parking.

Fortunately there are two spacious parking garages here that combine to hold room for 5,000 vehicles.

Tropicana Atlantic City Parking Fee

These prices apply to everyone, including hotel guests. Also, those of you with Platinum, Diamond or Seven Star Caesars Rewards cards receive free self parking. Others pay as follows:

The higher, weekend rates start at 6 PM on Friday. Also, you’ll pay your parking fee when leaving the parking garage.

Tropicana Atlantic City Casino & Resort Valet Parking Fee

Diamond and Seven Star Caesars Rewards members always receive free valet parking. For everyone else, current valet parking rates are as follows.

If you’re not familiar with Caesars Rewards, the lowest level player’s card is “Gold.” You can get this without even playing. As you can see, it’s worth it to get a Caesars Rewards Card, (even if you never use it), because holding one automatically gets you a $5 discount on valet parking.

As with self-parking, the weekend rates kick in at 6 PM on Friday.

Lastly, those of you staying at the Trop can have your valet fee applied to your hotel bill.

Valet Directions

There are three valet parking areas. One is accessed via the entrance to the Quarter Parking garage on your left when arriving S. Brighton.

The second one is also accessed on S. Brighton and is the main hotel valet. You’ll pass the Quarter parking entrance and continue on S. Brighton, past Pacific Avenue, to the Trop’s Porte cochere.

The third valet stand is on the end of Chelsea Avenue and should be only used by those of you staying in the Chelsea Tower.

While the Chelsea Tower has the pretty sky bridge connecting to the Tropicana, self-parking is a long walk from the Chelsea Tower. We’re talking two blocks and through the casino – all while carrying your luggage.

Unless you are OK with the long walk, your best bet is to pony up for the valet parking.

Also, there is valet parking on Pacific Avenue, (when going west towards S. Brighton), for those of you going to one of the twenty-five restaurants at The Quarter.

(Here the black pins show you the entrances to the self-parking. The brown star is the main hotel valet, the purple star is the Quarter/Havana valet. The Chelsea valet stand in green may not be open.)

There are two main driving entrances to the Tropicana: (1) on S. Brighton Avenue, and (2) on Pacific Avenue.

(1) S. Brighton Avenue

When taking this one way street towards the resort, past Atlantic Avenue, signage will point you to one of the two parking garages.

To the left will be the Quarter parking garage. This garage offers free self-parking, as well as valet parking.

It provides easy access to the Havana hotel tower, as well as the Quarter which is Tropicana’s spacious shopping, dining, and entertainment complex.

After you pass the Quarter Parking Garage entrance on your left, the casino parking garage entrance will be on your right (still before you get to Pacific Avenue).

This ten story garage is self-parking only.

(2) Pacific Avenue

This street dissects the resort, but only provides access to the hotel valet.

To get to self-parking, you have to wind your way around to Atlantic Avenue to S. Brighton.

• If you’re staying in the Havana Tower, parking in the Quarter garage makes it very close and convenient.

• As noted above, the Trop AC has 5,000 parking spaces. The second parking garage, with 2,400 spaces, was built during the resort’s massive expansion and remodel in 2004.

During initial construction of the garage, four workers were killed in October 20034, when the top five decks of the garage collapsed.

• A pretty older home at 1 South Brighton Avenue sits directly to the left of where you enter the Quarter parking garage. It has been owned by the Milano family since 1935.

The home sticks out among all of the commercial casino development, but has an interesting back story.

In 1995, the Tropicana, along with Atlantic City officials, attempted to take control of the home through an evil government seizure method called eminent domain.

They wanted to demolish the home and use it as surface parking for the casino.

Only problem was, the longtime owner-occupant of the home, Joseph Milano Sr., a World War 2 veteran, didn’t want to move.

Mr. Milano successfully fought off the casino and city officials in court, and was able to continue to live in the long-time family residence all the way until his passing in December of 2018.
