So, I know that after Sparta got its shit pushed in by Rome, they became a glorified tourist trap by maintaining their unusual culture and way of life.

I know roughly when Sparta ceased to even be locally important.

What I'm not sure about is when they stopped following their older traditions; I figure it was more of a gradual decline with certain elements that were no longer sustainable being dropped one by one. But do we have any records indicating at least an 'earlier than this' date?

Kind of. They were, if not willingly, part of the Achaean League at the time, and contributed forces to the Achaean War.

And they weren't really irrelevant, considering that they were a major cause of the Achaean war. They weren't militarily relevant, but them not being part of a Greek league was an important enough cause for Rome to go to war over.

By the time of the Achean League the Spartans had a much modernised army with Helots acting as phalangites. So therein lies your answer: Somewhere inbetween getting their asses kicked in Megalopolis and getting their ass kicked by the Aetolian League.

Except that's still not what I asked. I'm not talking about their army, I'm talking about the way the city lived. We have records of Roman nobility visiting the city to observe how the weird Spartans lived. That's what I'm referring to.
