GOODBYE TROPICANA... Hello LAS VEGAS BALLPARK ⚾️

[@LuckyReese777]

Thank you for the video. My husband and I got married there on 07-07-07, we are both sad it's being demolished. We showed our children the video today. We had our wedding dinner at the steak house you showed and watched our first comedy show as a married couple at the laugh factory. Thank you again!!!

[@stevekckm7879]

Thanks for the great video of the Trop! Of course it will be missed but Ballys says they will build a new hotel and Casino and shopping experience once the ball park gets completed.

[@dennisnichols7123]

One of my go to hotels in Vegas. Gonna miss it. I enjoyed the old timey feel and look. The baseball stadium in that spot is a mistake. Traffic is going to be HORRIBLE on game day.

[@YMG81]

A Las Vegas classic will be missed ❤ the trago !and welcome the LAS VEGAS A s now Vegas has 4 pro sports teams 😎.

[@solicitutoob]

Great video! I wish they would build the ballpark south where there's undeveloped land. Then it would be away from the main part of the strip. Traffic is crazy enough. Just imagine a baseball game and football game in Vegas on the same day.

In the 1980’s when Las Vegas had game shows taped some episodes in a few casinos, “Las Vegas Gambit” was taped at the Tropicana for one season. Imagine Blackjack as a quiz show element with couples (or “Catch 21” for married folks). Murray Sawchuck, aka “Murray the Magician” was on “Pawn Stars” for magic props needing appraisal. Gallagher (RIP) was a classic, and we will miss the Tropicana.

[@MerryMichaelmas]

Aww, I've stayed at the Tropicana several times in the past. It will be missed.

[@mikejonassen5242]

Visiting from Canada, walked by there today, large crowd taking pics.

[@steveadams2239]

You've come a long way Norma!! I'm a longtime fan and frequent Vegas visitor. As I was watching this segment, I thought to myself, "How far has Norma's adventures taken her?" So, I went back to one of the original episodes, when you toured the Strip during Covid. WOW, your journey has been well chronicled, and your talents and skill have bloomed! Best part of the whole vid was your 'friends' the ducks...good luck seeing them today! Just like Vegas, Norma Geli's YT is continuously evolving into one of the premier places to go for fun, excitement, and so much more. Keep up the great work. Amazing work ethic, over 500 clips/shorts/adventures.... If you ever come to Hawaii, hit me up, been here for over 50 years and have been in the visitor industry for a bunch of them. PS. My favorite parts are usually the blooper reels, when they are on!!! Good to stay humble.

[@KayMN.]

They had a great pool back in 90’s.

[@donnamccormack]

Awwwe makes me sad...Stayed many times back in the 80s and 90s changed so much...Thank you Norma for bringing back memories

[@lisah5784]

Yep 😢 The Tropicana is the first place I ever stayed in Vegas as soon as I turned twenty one in nineteen eighty eight😮 I think they could put that ball field somewhere else, don't you 😅

[@melvinmcghee3035]

You look good for your age Norma beautiful 😍❤️

[@joshb9516]

I remember being 20 something and making that water thing the smoke spot.

[@baseballjoe06]

I'm going to miss that place

[@topgunjoeicdbko]

Norma you are indeed a people.

[@hollygoshinski1417]

Hi Norma! My family and I stayed at the Tropicana back in July 2022 and we had such a great time. A few things could have been a little better with the room but all in all it was such a great day and everyone was so nice. Thank you for taking the time to do this video of the Tropicana. My husband will be in Vegas this Monday, March 4th and I will be there on the 7th. So I'm going to try and talk him into taking a tour into the Tropicana one last time before it's gone forever. It's sad to see all of these classic hotels being demolished. Thank you for bringing back such great memories for me from our stay in 2022. We had a limousine driver that had picked us up from the Tropicana our first evening there and we went to the Graceland wedding chapel and renewed our vows after 15 years. So that definitely was very special trip for us. Thank you again for sharing and hoping to run into you while I'm in Vegas!

[@YMG81]

Hi Norma mail works 4 me .enjoy your tragos ! 😎.

GOODBYE TROPICANA... Hello LAS VEGAS BALLPARK ⚾

[@geegzaeastla]

I love watching the bloopers

[@SpookyFow]

I remember the mezzanine to the club tower overlooking the pool would have orangutan shows. I know we have pictures of us with them somewhere. They were there for decades.

[@corpnupe85]

I have been to Vegas 8 times. I have stayed at the Tropicana on several occasions. It is one of my favorite Hotels. So sad to see it go. I may visit and stay in the hotel one more time.

[@clementcooley4359]

It would be great if the stadium didn't have a roof and had the heart of the Vegas strip as a backdrop overlooking the outfield. Night games would look really cool! The heat would make it absolutely impractible though.

[@TimeWalkyr]

Norma, it's great that you mentioned Murray the Magician a couple of times. I attended his show back in 2022, and it was a blast! He does a funny shtick where he requests someone from the audience to give him their left shoe. So, I was the guy that volunteered, and after I threw it up to him on stage, he looked at it, told me how cool it was, then he tossed it to the side off stage and continued on to another bit. Then he threw it back to me at the end of the show. Hilarious and brilliant man. Worth every penny! 😄

[@JoseRamos-zc6sr]

End of an era. Norma, great content as always. Fun, professional, fit, and beautiful as always.

[@johnw91498]

I'm quite sad since we had our honeymoon back in 2009. Many amazing memories there and it's sad that the resort will be gone. :(

[@dennisaugustine6544]

I'm heartbroken. Going to miss the Trop. Luckily i managed to grab a drink from the main area bar there just over this past week.

[@footbowl8939]

So many great memories at the Trop, from the Folies shows, amazing breakfast buffets, my favorite BJ dealer, some amazing photo sessions, mirrored ceilings ... I'm going to miss this place. It was enjoyed SOOOOO much more than any baseball stadium could be ... blech!!

[@ReherMorrisonFan]

Thanks for creating this memory for many gens to come. I wish there would have been better technology and Norma's in the 50's, 60's and 70's creating memories for us in the present.

[@jordancaleb3419]

Norma the best Vegas history teacher!! Can’t wait to see the future of this ballpark! Although I’m sad to see the Tropicana Go!

[@fro1414]

[@hawaiianpunch6534]

I remember that long hallway. I used to park all the way in the back. As I walked through there was a restaurant where I had breakfast and were birds everywhere.

[@brivvy]

My first vegas trip started with getting lost at the Tropicana. So everything I think of it, I remember one of the best vacations I’ve ever been on. I’ll miss it 😢

[@travelgeneralt]

Lovely Images.!!!

[@johnmonteleone6173]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEO,GREAT JOB.

[@benboyer3894]

Never knew bodies and the titanic exhibit started at The Trop, very interesting!

[@lisah5784]

We saw both of them while in Vegas and they were fantastic 😊

[@YMG81]

Hi Norma ! Thanx for all u do and the 411 about vegas .I hope you have something cool planned for st patricks day ! 😎

[@lawrenceakini4981]

Thanks for this nostalgic vlog. Have an amazing weekend. Cheers.

[@cBear-oso]

Nice to capture it while it is standing. But you certainly broke your "right here" quota 😉

[@PhilAJones77]

So happy I managed to catch MJ Live at the Tropicana on my last visit to Vegas in May 2023.

[@nathanmiller8213]

Never actually stayed at Tropicana, this is making me regret not taking the chance.

[@pjh7423]

Such a chill video. You look so laid back and relaxed.

[@commentjedi]

I remember the old tv commercial "The Island of Las Vegas"

[@dnoll]

In Aug 2023, I filmed the Tropicana like you did. I remember the original "floating" blackjack table in the pool. The carousel used in the showgirl performance is still in the ceiling above the box office area, which was the location of the original showroom.

[@lizmarbry]

Hi Norma I went to the Tropicana since I was a child I'm 60 now and it was a cool place It was especially fun when they upgraded the pool outside back in the late '80s I think

[@safromnc8616]

My first trip to Vegas I stayed at the Trop, probably 30+ years ago. Saw some really good shows there as well, including Bob Newhart doing stand-up (& Folies Bergere). Everytime the elevator opened you got - 'Welcome to the Tropicana, where players win and winners play'. And yes, they had mirrors over the beds & an awesome pool area.. When you used to walk in the front they had a huge lounge area w/live music going all the time where you could have a drink and hang out...for free !.

[@boffo63]

I loved that place. I miss the Stardust something fierce.

[@ChrisF-w6p]

😢😂 Thank you for this video. I felt like a friend was giving us s tour. Loved the footage of the gardens, pool, bungalows, snd the glass ceiling. Also the 21st floor, convention area, shops, and the Teago area. You shown thins others didn't show. Nice! Thanks again 😁

[@doiyama4575]

I will miss the Trop this is an iconic place. Thank for showing it Norma

[@lhyrosas84]

Ese fue El hotel que nos quedamos mi esposo y yo la primera vez que fuimos a las vegas hace casi 8 años 😢 pero ya esta demaciado Viejo y los cuartos no estan limpios ya era hora de hacer algo con tremendo espacio 🙌 exelente video Norma muchas gracias por compartir QDTB 🙋‍♀️🤗

[@Alliekatsdad]

Place looks depressing and abandoned. Like an old mall from the 80's. But they did have a 60 + year run. Nice change of pace Norma

[@charlesplemons3091]

Thanks for the tour Norma. I was at the Tropicana Labor Day 1974. A little busier then. Good times. Thanks again.

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

Awesome job Norma thumb up to you

[@JesseDiebolt]

I’m gonna miss Robert Irvines restaurant. I think it’s really underrated so I hope they find a new location on the strip.

[@jodielchapman2190]

*This casino was my mom's favorite casino ever on the Las Vegas strip ....if she knew it was gone she be upset! RIP Tropicana.…..u and my mom in heaven together! 😔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

[@TheManuel012009]

a sad day. tropicana such a vegas icon

[@dogdaddave]

Will miss it- great vid

[@secretamericayoutubechanne2961]

SHE s gotten even cuter over the years! Talk about livin' the Dream❤❤❤

[@corpnupe85]

Facts! You are correct.

[@barrelvinewhiskeyandwine]

Norma you look absolutely gorgeous in this video.

[@keithglobus]

Hey Norma, I am really enjoying you're videos. Thanks.

[@yeremy7144]

Good times at that old pool

[@lizmarbry]

I'm planning to stop by there on a trip just for a day visit next Saturday hopefully they have some merch left?

[@antosif3]

My grandfather worked as a bartender there in its early days. Go see Purple Reign! I’ve seen it several times since 05 😊

[@fro1414]

kzbin.infonC8O6iVIzXU?si=W9ri_--YWFImki38

[@dontran1887]

Thanks for the video! I was debating a quick March trip and then got nostalgic when the Trop announced they were closing in early April. Have some fond (and not so fond) memories of a few stays/interactions over the past 30+ years there, although it's probably been well over a decade since I stepped foot into the hotel. Definitely aiming to get some $1 chips as souvenirs.

[@peter.vanburen]

I'm going to miss this hotel/casino. We will miss the Tropicana hotel!! RIP

[@davidb0327]

@4:45 Norma got kicked out for recording hehehhee kidding....I hope. Unfortunately I've never been to the Trop in LV (I played poker at the one in Atlantic City). I should have asked to go see it when I visited Sheynee Sheyne.

[@martinmoy2900]

lots of good memories - old days in LV.... I even remember seeing a great Magician /illusionists show here Rick Thomas. Definitely from another era....and surprised it's lasted this long.... out with the old...onto the 'new', LOL. Thanks for allowing us to have this time capsule video for the memories, esp of the inside hallways of the 21st floor and secret v iews.. of rooms I was never allowed to stay in. Haha...for higher level players or those who would pay more...

[@jim6070]

Very nice sweater.

[@anthonys9103]

Hi Norma. Was in Vegas a week ago and had a great time based on some of your recommendations. Met a friend of yours at Ole Red Friday night. My wife and I had a great time. Thank you for the videos.

[@JesusIsComingSoon-t5x]

Hi Norma! Thank u for the video!! Ive never stayed there but have always heard of it!! It's sad that it's coming down but like u said Vegas is always reinventing itself!! Change is good!!

[@Harris_x28]

Las Vegas will be getting an NBA basketball team too eventually 🏀

[@conradap]

absolutely love the opportunity to get this in the can before it's gone! i'm hoping that they can incorporate that glass ceiling into the new ballpark.

[@WilliamShevchuk]

She forgot Spanish. She thinks she's a Big Celebrity now. 😂

[@eyehit]

I been to that place dozens of times and never knew about the mezzanine. Awesome, thanks, I'll check it out before the end.

[@milothekxngdombuilder]

Glad to say I stayed here back in the day. Sad to see it go but at the same time that side of the strip is in desperate need of something fresh and exciting. Great video Norma.

[@pat75]

I feel sad that I never took the time to set foot in that hotel. The poker room actually only came up this past year! It was weird news because we all knew that the Trop was gonna be ripped down in the next few! 🤔 They have a weekly livestream out of that poker room that I watch from time to time. 🙂 And an April Fool's joke would be sith-like scheming, Darth Gelious! 🤓

[@billdion4066]

Well done. The DP did a nice job with the camera work. Back in the 80s, where the MGM is now, was the Tropicana Golf Course. Best breakfast in all of Vegas. Thanks for sharing. There are lots of fond memories there. Lastly, let's not forget about Frank, Dean, and so many other performers.

[@mariodiaz8561]

Hi Norma. Thanks for the what will be one of the historical views of the Tropicana. Last time I was in Vegas, got a chance to see Folies Bergere. Here in the US, we don't keep and maintain the old. We tear down to build a new. In 50 years, maybe they'll tear down the stadium to rebuild a Tropicana hotel, again, on the site, if Vegas is still around.

[@BrendaPotter1960]

I 've stayed at The Tropicana a few times over the years. One time I stayed in one of those bungalows next to the pool, and it was fantastic. It will be interesting to see a ballpark on the strip and also see The Tropicana missing from that corner. I wonder how the traffic will be in that area for the next four years. I guess The Tropicana could be called Yesterdayland at Disney after Dark. Thanks for the final look around this Las Vegas gem. Great job Norma!! 🌠

[@ianwills2738]

It’s a shame I always liked the Tropicana, the rooms were very reasonable and really nice to stay in. For me the thing I remember most is the smell of suntan lotion as soon as you walk through the door. Always made me smile

[@JamieNiemeyer-tz7zy]

I wish 🤞 everything didn't have to go . Makes me sad 😔 😟 I hope you'll be around for along time norma . And never leave I love you soooooo much norma ❤ jamie 😊

[@Pharaohx115]

Thanks for sharing Norma

[@Jbench6662]

Nice! Btw your glutes are looking great! 😊 keep on rockin and rollin!

[@aanlyons6674]

Stayed there many times with my husband. We changed when the Mirage opened. There used to have large parrots down the hallway. They even had a bird show by the pool that was wonderful. I hate having another sports thing coming in. It’ll just be too crazy.

[@stevelee7904]

Hi Norma, great video. It's going to be a sad day to see the Tropicana be demolished. Another old-school classic hotel/casino will be missing from the Las Vegas Strip. Thank you for doing this video so that we have something to remember it from. Disney after dark.

[@koreancanuck]

I have some good memories of the Tropicana hanging out there and seeing some great shows. It’s good you posted this video so we’ll always get to see it when we want. ;)

[@mindysalsberg6649]

Sad to say bye to the Trop. Got married here at the island of Las Vegas. Had many bdays here. Rented the island center of the pool for my 50th, had my 60th last year at Oakville rest. Stayed at every style room and tower, including bungalow suites. It's been a wonderful place for me for the last 40years. 😢

[@jerrywoods4845]

Biggest fan here Norma. Love the videos. Keep up the great work.

[@KelvTheLegend]

Went to Las Vegas a bit over a week ago and I must say loved it here did so many amazing things and there were so many things to do loved roaming the strip definitely at night did so many things in 4 days but definitely wanted to a bit more but it’s hard to fit in everything in one day with all the things you can do will be back for sure this summer can’t wait for the next couple months

[@FishPoker]

I would really like to be there when they blow it up. I'd be cool to watch it live

[@nese005]

stayed at Tropicana last October. The way to the club tower is soooo far. Decent hotel had a good time there. Will miss ya tropicana

[@saucelove]

We will be in LV this Sunday for WPPI, we would like to meet you, will you be near the Marage?

[@mikepeterson8388]

Great job, Norma! It's sad to see more Las Vegas history erased with the Tropicana's pending demolition. I remember taking my family through the Titanic exhibit in 2007, and thought it was fascinating. Hopefully, the A's field product will improve by 2028 to warrant the new ballpark. Otherwise, Darth Gelious should deal with them!! Take care!!!

[@sarahjean317]

Good day Norma. My wife and I got married there 19 years ago this coming June 5th. Great video BTW! Will miss the Trop for sure. Holds many memories for us.

[@sarahjean317]

Good day Norma. Sorry do not do tele messenger.

[@ManuelSoberanes]

What Vegas needs is more stand up comedy acts all over the strip, you would be a great stand up comedian !

[@TomSnyder-j2p]

She's not even funny.😂

[@BaoNguyen-ns1jj]

Fun fact. Tropicana used to give chocolate cookies that were so good when you checked in.

[@talitharitter3176]

I recall hearing that the Folies Bergere showroom was in that round area with the box office at some point and it’s rumoured that there are still set pieces up above the ceiling.

[@Heavytee21]

The only time I see the in side of these hotels is watching your videos lived in Vegas since 2008 no desire.

[@hotbeverage]

I was there Monday after. Super Bowl and pick up playing cards with Tropicana log so sweet

[@trainsplanesandotherthings5187]

I always stayed here on business trips, Not extremely busy casino, walkable to NY NY for food ... PARKING was FREE... unlike so many hotels now.

[@sbkpilot1]

opened in 1957, a Las Vegas icon

[@kevofftherez241]

Great video tour as always!!

[@iamnesbit7636]

I remember when they used to have high flying circus type acts over the casino floor where the old school glass/mirror ceiling is located. They had trapeze and other acts. They also used to have a mini Las Vegas museum. The Tropicana will be missed.

[@LoriKrazy61]

I said wow……. Hard to believe that…. Myself didn’t know that there will have a new ballpark in Vegas. Thank You, Norma
