Historic Closing of Tropicana: The End of an Era
A fixture on the Vegas landscape, the Tropicana shut its doors April 2—two days shy of its 67th anniversary. It is a significant part of the city’s next chapter, as crews prepared to knock down the one-time home for the Oakland Athletics and construct a 33,000-seat ballpark in its place. A’s owner John Fisher said the location would be a place where baseball fans and tourists can have memorable experiences.
Only a Few Hints of 1950s Las Vegas Strip Remain
By 2010, the Tropicana was no longer old — it just was no more — leaving the Sahara as the only Strip resort built in the 1950s still standing. The Tropicana’s demolition is noteworthy in a different light as well, as it marks the first Strip casino Las Vegas has imploded since 2016 when the Riviera was razed and that property was replaced further south by an expanded convention center.
Air quality alert: protective of ‘trop dust’
After the implosion, the Clark County Department of Environment & Sustainability placed a “Trop dust” advisory. There was an expected few hours of a dust cloud remaining in the air circulating around the locality, so the officials urged residents and tourists to stay inside, or use their air conditioning and close their persian blinds. The agency warned about possible health impact from dust in the air, especially for people with respiratory conditions.
In Conclusion – A Brave New Las Vegas
The still young resort and casino will be torn down to allow for the city’s tradition of reinventing itself in Las Vegas. The Tropicana’s grand farewell is a fitting coda to the city’s shifting sands, always honoring what once had been while embracing the endless possibilities ahead.
