Tropicana Las Vegas Liquidation Sale 06 02 2024

Today, my son and I went to the Tropicana Las Vegas to check out their liquidation sale. This is the 3rd weekend that I know of for the sale. The 1st 2 weekends were held in the casino. Today's sale was held in the Pavilion in the back of the property. I received an email saying we could get in for free today so we decided to check it out. Once inside, you can see there is a lot of furniture left. You can fill up a Uhaul truck with certain room furniture for $100. A lot of the other furniture was marked down or sold for as BOGO. We were just looking to see if there was any odds and ends stuff that we might want to get. You can see in the video the one thing my son ended up buying.

Blast Off 66 a go go show at the Tropicana I danced in that go go show I am now 80 😂😂

[@bobt897]

You were 22 then!

[@jermiester7772]

If I was a younger person, I could totally furnish my apartment and feel like I live in a hotel!

[@GABIKA7717]

Amazing that he found the phone with the 777 room number on it. Very lucky number!!!

[@dizzydevil547]

I hope no one found the phone from room 666 lol

[@viktorakhmedov3442]

That seems like a well-planned operation and thought-out, very organized too. Good to see them trying to salvage things out of the structures, I've seen so many massive buildings demolished with everything still inside (perfectly good stuff). Hopefully they can donate what doesn't sell.

[@kathymitchellpollock8075]

I am surprised you didn't see any glasses with their logos.

[@themadlibrarian2933]

The growth of companies that perform hotel liquidations is a factor here. They probably get a percentage of total sales, so they might have a separate sale or separate room for glasses and dishes and other smaller items.

[@DavidNgo86]

Tropicana orginally before the renovation in 2010 had 1,870. Then the 1959 and 1964 wings were demolished to make way for a 2nd entrance and additional parking alongside Tropicana Ave. The 20th floor of the Paradise Tower was renovated to include 6 luxury villas, removing 30 regular rooms in the process. As a result of these changes, the hotel was left with 1,467 rooms in total, down from approximately 1,870.

[@icemint870]

The cameras on boxes are probably the liquidator's inventory to make some money on the side. Worked for a retailer who went out of business and a liquidator firm was brought in to liquidate inventory and assets. They supplemented the store inventory with their trashy crap.

[@LatitudeSky]

That's routine for retail "going out of business" sales. The store hands over the entire sale to an outside firm, who will always bring in additional merchandise they already had. This is why the big "sale!" signs always look the same: they reuse them from sale to sale. They may also cherry-pick whatever merch is there and ship out the best items. Basically these sales are anything goes. It's all up to what the liquidation company wants to do.

[@jjboohoo9641]

They need to lower their prices if they want to sell that stuff

[@wilsonk1464]

Not applying the $20 per person admission doesn't help either. Heck, if $5, instead, it still would be more than swap meets' entrance fee.

[@BrianWeber-gt4ho]

Ummm bogo for $1 for new plates???

[@Gdub52o]

​@@BrianWeber-gt4ho very good deal. Better than the ones I got at Wally world lol. But other stuff seemed pricey. I figure they will drop prices at least a little before they finally trash what's left to stay on schedule

[@receilseymour7930]

Everything, even the entrance fees..are WAY TO HIGH !! Most of this stuff belongs in the dump truck.

[@monicasehuprt3298]

They should recycle metal at recycle center

[@ronjr831]

Never been to liquidation sale. Thanks for the video.

[@receilseymour7930]

My family and I stayed frequently at the Tropicana for YEARS after leaving the HACIENDA after they tore it down. The children practically grew up there in their younger years and we got to know a lot of the Entertainers who played there on a first name basis..😊😊

[@danettebell5530]

I would buy the Christmas tree just to say it was in Tropicana

[@rockae85]

Same

[@mrodriguez4829]

That controller you saw in the black pelican case is for the theatrical rigging system. It was used to raise and lower the battens, curtains etc. The beige controller you assumed was for the safes was a safe programmer. There was also a key lock programmer in that box too.

[@ScottysAir]

Wow! Thanks for showing me around. I really appreciate that. You have a great day today. We’ll let you know when I can go to Vegas soon.

[@LV-Kdog]

That was a fun walk and talk! Thanks!

[@LindaCarol-ig2ri]

Some items are too expensive for clearance sale.

[@crazy4dariver]

Wish I had known. Trop was fun long ago. Just found out my buddy that lives there completely furnished his back patio tiki bar area for roughly $300 Prices were not firm. If you wanted a few of the same item they accommodated

[@kennixox262]

Glad to see it all being sold off to be reused. Nothing that I would need or want. I think that a savvy buyer can pick quite a few different things for a good price and well below retail. I would however be wary of any upholstered furniture for fear of bedbugs. The pillows a big no! The wooden hangers, are a fantastic deal if they have regular hooks. Much better to sell it off cheap rather that it ending up in the land fill.

[@AL.1984]

What’s up Duntov!!!! Can’t wait for the season to start See you soon

[@robinjonson4186]

The cool signs and stuff im sure sold right away...

[@amiedavis5257]

Those dish carts would be great for sprouting seeds in a greenhouse

[@waderue]

well when I looked it up I found this Located on the south end of the Las Vegas Strip, the 1,470-room Tropicana hotel originally opened with 300 rooms, billed as the most expensive Las Vegas resort development at the time. The Tropicana underwent several expansions in its history to add towers and more guestrooms.

[@L.G.M.]

The podium in the back room is the one I took off of my cart when i realized it only had the 1 wheel that it's so funny. Love your videos, p s my dance on the check out whenever you guys pan over

[@user-dd3sv5fc3c]

Prices seem a bit high to me, but for the Buffalo Chopper, good price, same with the floor machine but I would want to see both to make sure they operate correctly.

[@dianabeets3840]

Wow wish they could ship here to Missouri. I would buy some chairs and the tvs

[@NanetteG.-ii4xy]

A UPS store would pack & ship them🎉

[@allan9603]

​@@NanetteG.-ii4xy You pay for shipping and Diana will take you up on the recommendation 😅😊😂

[@C.M.30337]

So sad. The trop was my favorite casino. Loved the decor. My favorite carpet ever - the old carpet from the 70s, 80s n 90s. Just another reason to never go to Vegas again. They've ruined it.

[@karenhill3970]

I was looking for a comment like this ....what is wrong with cities .. America they tear everything down .!!?.ICONIC structure s...movie stars homes...lovely old building s.. sickening and WASTEFUL!!!..IM not from Nevada & have only been to Las Vegas yrs ago for A DAY w a friend we flew he was on business & said Karen I'll pick u up early we'll fly out visit one place then fly bl ...so I was game!! We briefly saw the beautiful HUGE White Tiger" loved seeing it and m a real animal lover ...but don't like to see animals exploited,either,😡😞PLUS I kept thinking that unnatural for that Sibirian tiger to be in Las Vegas!!!!😮😡😞 inhumane!!!& DANGEROUS...I think later one of the act was mauled nearly died ...well...!?? anyway very crowded .& I don't care for that either ..someone spilled BEER in my eyes ..I wasn't drinking .they were ..anyway it was an experience! I'd always heard of The Tropicana" but never saw it ...just thought was neat ..I'm not a GAMBLER either ..I would love to see Hoover DAM...mixed feelings about this ...... basically think it's ashame

[@lonewolffullmoon]

Thanks for the two cent tour scored on that phone!

[@jonathanfactor6688]

Great video thanks

[@wendymoore8759]

Wow I would of gone crazy in there 😊

[@caj1119]

Those cameras still in the boxes could have been gifts (not given out yet) for players' club members with a certain level of play. I've seen casinos have giveaways like that.

[@davidgrybb8547]

Super Sweet!!

[@DavidNgo86]

The logo is from 2009 when Onex Corporation bought the Tropicana and started a rebranding and renovation project that replaced the tropical theme with a South Beach one.

[@coletrickle-km7cl]

Thr pillows are good for when you wanna move stuff and you need padding so whatever your moving dosen't get dammaged

[@reapercrew618]

I like the Budweiser refrigerator

[@GailJordan-ox8zg]

That was interesting, went to Vegas for many years, my first year was 1963, lots of good memories......

[@bobt897]

Great vid! Thanks for sharing! I would assume they'd get Habitat for Humanity or some other non profit to take some stuff if they can't sell it. I wonder what the scrap value of all those aluminum pans are?

[@DanO530.8]

There’s a lot of windows they could sell…the raiders Oakland a’s and sf giants and 9ers was my home town Fremont California

[@Kelly-tj8xv]

Every room had flamingo table lamps. I wonder where those thousand or so went.

[@SniperLogic]

Probably went when they had the first round of selling.

[@charleneheiland8803]

Need a floor lamp real bad. Was curious about the price,not that I am going to be there,but new ones can be outrageous.What would son have done with the podium ? Guess Mom rules the roost ..........

[@donaldperson948]

Should have got the Tropicana bell boy cart!

[@Ht1976.]

That phone was a pretty good find

[@samanthajones9323]

Dimmer rack, yes set lighting

[@pearluck01251]

For a new restaurant or a cleaning company it had a lot of good stuff. But for anyone else you need to like the "tropical" style of the furniture. I thought they were going to keep most of the furniture inside de rooms and smash it with de Bobcat during the demolition.

[@starstacker1]

For young people starting out perfect to outfit an apartment.

[@wilsonk1464]

You would think they might donate a bunch of the leftovers to Goodwill and other thrift stores for tax deduction.

[@snchilders]

Ten or twenty years from now junior will wish he had that podium

[@Raiders1967]

He wished he had that podium now. LOL He really wanted it. My wife would have killed us. 😮

[@SniperLogic]

@@Raiders1967😂10-4 the wife would have assigned me a trip to the landfill without even a chance to present my case. It’s value will increase.

[@Racebook-ev4zl]

777 IS AN ANGELIC NUMBER SOMEONE IS SPEAKING TOO YOU !

[@danettebell5530]

Really good deals

[@stephenbeecher7545]

32:50 That flatbed dolly has seen some heavy use. It may be "original" from when the hotel originally opened.

[@juanitalewis9306]

I really hate all the hotels I grew up seeing. Are all gone. My Brother & I would walk from Bruce to 15th Street catch a bus on Fremont Street.Go to the La Hacienda and ride the Go Carts. I came home to visit & go to the Elvis Festival. We drove by The Tropicana 😢😢 It was heart breaking to me. It won't be long & the Tropicana will only be a memory :(

[@littleone7404]

All of those pillows could have been donated to homeless shelters

[@Db_traveler]

Congrats on the phone! Would be fun to walk through but prices need to drop on some things.

[@tonymanzo3766]

Where are all of the surveillance cameras and recording equipment used in the casino and throughout the building, slots and gaming stuff probably isn’t sold to the public

[@SniperLogic]

Website said something about it being transferrred to another property owned by same company, probably to continue using.

[@westsparks6844]

Wonder what happens to all the unsold stuff. Would be a shame to see it go to the landfill

[@theanalogchannel]

I hope not.

[@SniperLogic]

Probably a lot winds up in landfill. ~1500 rooms is a *pile* of stuff. Maybe some to charities? 🤷‍♂️

[@donaldmoore4412]

That was very cool..Thank you and Go Raiders!!!

[@Mr_Chris77]

Just think of the bargains you'll be able to get when Fontainebleau goes under within two years.

[@danettebell5530]

You have great taste in vintage Jr

[@donaldperson948]

Someone spoddied all over the pillows!

[@rockae85]

Shoot! Now I wanna go and see if I can the phone to the room we stayed in!!!

[@donaldperson948]

I want a rullete table and a poker table, cards, dice, ash trays, etc!

[@Raiders1967]

I agree. we got the chips, cards and matchbooks the week before they closed.

[@victorfrankenstein50202]

Great video. Haven’t been there since ‘08, but we made a point to visit the Trop, because we knew it wouldn’t be around much longer (of course it did make it another 16 years). It was kinda of a dilapidated dump back then.

[@ynotjen6542]

I always wondered what happens to all the stuff...

[@solafide9903]

Soo cool ... How did you find out about this?

[@Raiders1967]

The local news showed it. This was actually the 3rd weekend they did it. I haven't heard anything if they are planning another one.

[@M_Ladd]

That's where I got married. The Little Church of the West.

[@KenOnaMission]

JunkRus😂 if you can grab a great condition branded item maybe. Prices are too high to consider. Maybe a fleabottom motel could snatch some used furniture for a deal.

[@danettebell5530]

Sweet on the phone

[@timc7037]

Kind of sad the name Tropicana Field is already taken in MLB

[@GlennMiller-qv9tx]

Unfortunately, our host, Raider 1967 died yesterday. RIP Raider 1967.

[@suzzane.notsusan.1078]

The look is not 70's its art deco

[@SniperLogic]

Too bad it’s 2000 miles to Vegas. To far to haul a pickup load. Looks like a good sale to back up a truck if you’re a reseller.

[@wilsonk1464]

With the summer sun, I think it was foolish they demo the whole covered parking structure so early instead of taking advantage of parking there.

[@danettebell5530]

Great for Raiders tailgate lol

[@xjm40]

👍

[@taramcblakeshire8516]

Instead of throwing all that kitchen stuff like all the metal trays and stuff I'm surprised they don't do you like them guys that look for scrap metal for money. We have one that drives through our neighborhood in a pick up truck that goes to our trash looking for scrap metal.

[@GABIKA7717]

Did they sell the main Tropicana red sign that was on the building?

[@Raiders1967]

I did see they removed one sign on the north side of the building. I'm hoping they saved it. The one by the main valet area was not removed and destroyed by the demolition.

[@GABIKA7717]

@@Raiders1967 wow! Over a year ago I was thinking how to buy that sign before they demo the building. Imagine how much that sign would worth in 20 years. Thank you!

[@NanetteG.-ii4xy]

I wonder,, if they donated them to the ""neon museum"" near Fremont st..🎉❤

[@jimmyc8951]

Lots of aluminum to scrape there. Could even be some silver eh?

[@ericneumann8509]

20:11 Kansas City Red!

[@lahondafolk4334]

I just want some slot machines, any of those?

[@SniperLogic]

Nope. They moved the gaming stuff to another place to keep using. First thing I researched. Security equipment also not available.

[@dizzydevil547]

great find on the room 777 phone! (im hoping no one found the room 666 one though 🤣) as for the pillows , bed linen ect i agree a big no from me too, I know they will (hopefuly have been laundered etc) but that pile of bed linen looks like a massive bed bug colony breeding ground to me ! ( mind you with no guest to feed of they are prob all deceased anyhow!) 🤣😉 it prob isnt etc but i just wont buy used matresses, bed linens and pillows ect as you never know! loved the vid guys ...i expeted the same as you for there NOT to be much branded stuff as that would go for the top dollar in the sale and prob in the earlier sales too so everything else that was left was just sold of with bogof or knock down prices as all the items in the vid seem to be whats left and hard to get rid of ....and they want to make as much dollar as possible off the sale etc so hence knock down prices and buy one get one free or items sold in pairs a bulk! even though a lot of the furniture looks dated etc there are still a nice few pieces in there ..i loved the bar even though it needed some restoration with the covring on the side! I also like the little end tables at 22:29 in the vid...Also the piece of furniture at 39:19 and is labled as a credenza so is in fact a dining room sideboard or display cabinet so may have been adapted (with the hole in the top) for a tv so prob came from one of the suites as oppoesed to a bog standard room!

[@mgratk]

Bedbugs can go a year to 18 months without feeding.

[@SniperLogic]

@@mgratkprobably some survivors in that pile. 😂

I believe by the time they got through screwing around there 1860 or so rooms

Should have let the kid get the podium, he really wanted it, but was too much of a gentleman to push for it. Shame on you dad.

[@rickprusak9326]

Where's the casino chips? The washing machines? The bed sheets? Soap bars? Little shampoo bottles? Toilet paper and bath towels? How about the floor ice machines?

[@SniperLogic]

Probably sold in the earlier rounds of selling. This is late in the game.

[@valinormons]

"...ahh, we don't want the Bud Light but..." That was funny. 🤣

Set the phone on the podium
