"Las Vegas Landmarks: Tropicana's Final Farewell and New A's Stadium Funding"
TL;DR Summary
The Tropicana casino on the Las Vegas Strip closed its doors two days before its 67th anniversary, with emotional farewells from workers and players. The casino's final hours saw slot machines being decommissioned, table games shutting down, and gamblers hoping for one last win. Workers and patrons captured the historic moment, with a player making the last bet before the final shutdown. The resort will be demolished to make way for a $1.5 billion, 33,000-seat stadium for the Oakland Athletics, with construction set to begin after an official locking-of-the-doors ceremony.
