Tropicana on Las Vegas Strip to Close in 18-24 Months.

The Tropicana hotel on the Las Vegas Strip has informed its employees that it plans to close within the next 18 to 24 months for a renovation project that includes an "integrated casino hotel and resort and baseball park." The hotel will continue to operate as usual until that point. The announcement comes after years of speculation that the site could be used for a baseball stadium. The Tropicana's closure will likely affect businesses operating within the hotel, such as the Laugh Factory Comedy Club.
