DayRegularGold/Hotel GuestsPlatinum
Monday – Thursday$25$20$15
Friday – Sunday$30$25$20
Special Events$35$30$30

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.

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

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.
