TL;DR Summary
After 67 years, the Tropicana Las Vegas casino, known for its ties to the Rat Pack and mob, will close to make way for a $1.5 billion Major League Baseball stadium. The casino, which hosted A-list stars and the iconic "Folies Bergere" show, has seen many iterations but now only the low-rise hotel room wings remain. Its closure marks the end of an era in vintage Vegas nostalgia, as the city continues to reinvent itself as a hub for sports entertainment.
