AmericaJR’s Jason Rzucidlo recently visited the Tropicana Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. The $15 million Tropicana opened on April 4, 1957, as the most expensive Las Vegas resort developed up to that point. The Tropicana includes a 44,570 sq. ft. casino and 1,467 rooms. Inside, there is a large stained glass ceiling which drew lots of attention from visitors and gamblers alike. Tropicana Las Vegas will close for good on April 2, 2024. Then, the hotel-casino property will be demolished sometime in the summer. The site will be used to construct a new MLB stadium for the Athletics baseball club, which is scheduled to open in time for the 2028 season.
