Water Quality Snapshot: TROPICANA RESORT AND CASINO

TROPICANA RESORT AND CASINO is a private-owned non-transient non-community water system that delivers drinking water to 300 residents in LAS VEGAS, Nevada (Clark County) through 1 service connections. Its water is drawn from surface water sources. EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System records 285 total violations for this system , of which 15 (5%) are health-based — meaning a contaminant exceeded an EPA Maximum Contaminant Level or a required treatment technique failed. A further 247 monitoring and reporting violations are on file. The most recent violation on record dates to 2024.

The most frequently cited contaminant at this system is TTHM, recorded in 18 violations (MR). Under EPA's UCMR5 PFAS monitoring program, 1 PFAS compound was detected in samples collected from this system, with a maximum reported concentration of 31 ppt. PFAS are persistent synthetic chemicals linked to health effects at very low exposure levels.

Across Nevada, EPA tracks 589 public water systems serving 3,455,285 people, with 56,333 cumulative violations and 6,657 health-based violations on record. About 93% of systems in the state carry at least one violation, and state-wide the average per system is 95.6 violations. TROPICANA RESORT AND CASINO's 285 violations sit above the Nevada average.
