The opener
This bad was playing while people were still sitting down. THey showed a bunch of photos of all the stars that used to perform there. It was cool.
Our tablemates!
Part of the ticket included one bottle of rum, with mixers, to be split between the four of us. You can see the bar behind them.
Mojito
Bill's mojito was great too!

Very tropical
In the afternoon our tour guide pointed out where the Tropicana was as we passed by. It looked like a bunch of trees. I couldn't even see where it was in there. It's very tropical!

There were no more seats at the end of the long table where the rest of our bus sat so they moved us right up to the front of the section! So cool!

Bajo las estrellas
I never realized that the Tropicana is literally "Bajo las estrellas," Under the Stars. It's an outside venue. The maitre d' was directing everyone to their tables. Very old school.
