San Antonio
At El Tropicano, the retro-tropical vibe is a little old-school Vegas, a little Miami Beach – the only thing missing is the tiki bar. But even though this breezy hotel originally opened in 1962, a fresh, mid-century modern lobby and updated rooms make it feel fun instead of old. (The $16 daily parking fee, however, can dampen the fun.)
Valet parking is $21 per day. The pet fee is $50 per stay.
