What Really Happened: Our Last Spectacular Night at Tropicana Las Vegas!

#tropicanalasvegas #lasvegasnews #lasvegashotels
In this video we show you what it was like spending the last night at the Tropicana Las Vegas. The Tropicana Las Vegas was in business for almost 67 years. We watched as they shut off the slot machines and tore out machines right after the gaming board came in and closed the casino portion at 3am. We also got the exclusive closing of the front doors as we watched another classic hotel go down in Las Vegas history.

I always wanted to see that beautiful ceiling-never made it :(

[@ChrisandTaraCA]

Wow, the employees saying goodbye one last time made me ugly cry. It’s incredibly sad! Rip Tropicana. Thank you for the video Jeff and Kristina 💗

[@JKStayinVegas]

You’re welcome Chris & Tara. 💜

[@whome1636]

I moved to Vegas in 2004, I walked through every casino the first couple days. I remember the Tropicana felt different. They hadn’t modernized it yet. As you approach the main entrance from the dark valet area, all you see is goldish old school lights beaming through the glass doors, it felt very cinematic. Low lighting, warm tones, and the long casino floor with the glass ceiling. It was packed too.

[@davidwilliams7463]

Really good vlog Jeff. Although we never stayed at the Tropicana on our visits from the UK, we always visited and gambled there. We will miss the Trop when we return later this year. Please keep up the great videos.

[@randallbroadfoot7168]

It was so, so great that you AND Kristina were able to be present for closing night at the "Old Girl",.......it was a wonderful, although sad, final tour that you both took us on !! The fact that you sub-contracted there for 10 years also had to add to the nostalgia of the occasion (poor little Kristina in tears) !!! GOODBYE, TROP, you will be truly missed !!!!!! Thank you Jeff & Kristina, luv ya !!

[@JKStayinVegas]

Hey Randy! Yes, it was very emotional. More emotional than I thought it would be. I couldn’t believe I started crying. lol It’ll be SO weird when the entire building is missing. 😞 Thanks for stopping by! 😘😘😘😘😘💜💜💜💜

[@marie-thereseguimond7841]

1957 is my birth year. I'm as old as The Tropicana. So sad it's closing. Thanks for this great video Jeff and Kristina 😒😔👋👋🇨🇦🧑‍🦳

[@aces7515]

Thank you for staying till the end 😢 Extremely sad for long time employees and guests.

[@laurie6332]

I didn't realize you worked there. There were some employees left that have been working there for 48 years, 35 years...really long times. Imagine the feelings of loss they are feeling. Also, imagine the memories they have of when the Trop was bustling with with the Rat Pack and other celebs? The guy that worked for 48 years said he was very sad but it was time. (I forget who interviewed him briefly?) It is still very sad to see a historical building close and eventually be demolished. You chronicled the end with some really good videos Jeff. Thank you for that. Hope you and Kristina had a nice night. There were a lot of Tubers there. You Tube does come in handy for keeping memories alive. There is nothing but still photos of properties that have been long gone.

[@JKStayinVegas]

Thank you Laurie’s. 💜

[@MeMe-mi1xc]

I stayed there 2016 and 2017 when the massacre happened I’m so sorry it’s finished now. I love Tropicana.

Hey Jeff we met you out front on Tuesday while you were filming this! Thanks for giving us a look into what we missed

Great to meet you guys! Thanks for stopping and saying hello. 🙏🏼

Born in 1957, kinda hits home.

[@deliverancetwo]

Thank you to all the employees of the Tropicana you guys were a true heroes, saying goodbye to an era that was like no other is hard. Thank you so very much Jeff, for being a trooper by going there and giving us a last look. And also thank you for being an employee of the Tropicana many years ago. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks again Jeff and Kristina. 🤗♥️💚🥲

[@jeffboyrdeee]

It’s crazy that’s it’s no longer going to be there. I stayed there when I was a kid as well as when i first hit 21 it was my first hotel I stayed at. Memories! I hope they find a way to honor the hotel! 🫶🏻

How crazy we were across the street over the weekend at Excalibur for vball tournament wish we could have been there Tuesday

Wow, how cool is that view? You are sharing your experience with us and that is so cool. Love seeing Kristina's bubbly personality! ❤

This was the first casino we stayed at in Vegas in 2004. They still had coin in machines back then. Thanks for filming the Tropicana's final send off!

[@thatmetalchiick]

Yay! Hi guys! I took my mom to see raiding the rock vault there! It was cool!

[@thomasmccartney9899]

Gutted it's Closed.... So much History.... Tropicana thnx for the Memories....❤

[@gms5997]

Our daughter and son-in-law got married at the Tropicana in 1997. They flew in a couple of weeks ago to revisit the wedding chapel, so it was good memories and sad at the same time. Loved your video of the Trop's last night!

[@JKStayinVegas]

Aaaawwww, thank you so much, gms. I’m so glad they got that chance, one last time. 💜

[@nmraidernation.6092]

That was one hell of a view!! Sadly this place needed to go, very outdated and in serious need of a massive renovation. The only time I was there was way back in time, we were walking down the strip and there was a man with a white tiger cub. Naturally we approached and it was Rick Thomas as he was leaving a lady was handing out "complementary" tickets for a 2PM show. It was very entertaining, gambled some and walked to MGM, never to step foot in there again, low ceilings, smoke filled everywhere, dark, just not our thing. Funny I have been on KZbin for about 10 or so years and have not seen one vlog on the Tropicana and now people are freaking out about the demise of the place....🙄🙄 I don't remember seeing the stained glass ceiling though...?? Great vlog, thanks for taking the time and letting us see the last day of this place!! If those walls could talk... 🤯 Those ladies crying...seriously 🙄 Sad for the employees but not like there isn't other casinos around.... Viva Las Vegas!!

[@DennisSmithAIStockImageClub]

I think that I know who that special someone is that will be getting those $25 chips. Loved the video and excellent job J&K!

[@thistrainoffaith4382]

So sad. An iconic casino going into the history books. My memories there was amazing! I was part of their nightlife back in 2011 when Nikki Nightclub was open. During that time it was part of 180 million dollar renovation with old contemporary style casino to a more modern style that you see in your video. Great live entertainment, good food, and relaxing bar and lounges. It was like a go to quick getaway a hidden gem (oasis) from it all and go to Tropicana! Luckily I got the opportunity to stay there back in 2009. Truly this hotel/casino will be missed! Until history gives it another name, long live Tropicana Las Vegas! She will carry herself with grandeur for many more years!❤👼❤

[@JKStayinVegas]

Oh wow! Jeff totally remembers that!

[@billcoleman7316]

What a great video Jeff and I'm glad you made it. Sorry you had such a long day to create it but thanks. I'll miss the old girl since My Mom and I always stayed their until we moved to Fremont Street. 😪😪😪

[@JKStayinVegas]

It’s a terribly sad thing, and still unbelievable. 😢

[@bdub7363]

Cool video. Really kind of depressing seeing it close for good. Became kind of like a museum on the last few days with people walking through one last time. Thanks for sharing!

[@luisaponte9119]

Jeff and Kristina you folks gave the Tropicana the exit tribute it deserved.

[@elainegottwald2878]

Thank you so much for sharing this with us

The 1950's on the Strip is now history, the oldest resort rooms are now at Sahara with the Tunis Tower opening in 1960. Great vlog!

[@pghrpg4065]

Thanks for posting this. I stayed at the Trop one night last month and a friend and I were talking about the Sahara, but we weren't sure what was still around from its early days.

I hope corporate Vegas is happy......

Wow are you the one that got that Epic shot of the 3 showgirls crying? That was Iconic!

Hey domrom! That would be us. 😁😁

[@awguy]

Thanks for documenting this historic moment. And I agree, very anticlimactic. I at least would have thought there would have been an announcement at 3am or something.

[@JKStayinVegas]

Right, awguy? We were shocked, and even more saddened. 😢

[@TheOtherMeLV]

I wanted to stay there the last night but it was waaaaaaay above my pay grade, lol

[@unchainedsilver9702]

Great Video ....Sad to see it close was there almost 2 years ago and was clean and classy inside ...Place has so much history too , there is so many other locations that have empty land that would have been better for a Stadium ... Vegas should do a better job of preserving historical casino's too many have been lost over the years ....

End of an era... Sad to see it go!

Thanks to both of you for a wonderful farewell video to the Tropicana. I get Kristina getting a little misty eyed. If you love Vegas it’s hard not to get a little nostalgic when part of Vegas history disappears. But that’s the essence of Vegas…always evolving! 😉👍

OMG Jeff and Kristina! This was brilliant. I never stayed at the Tropicana, but I did see the Prince tribute show last year, which was awesome. I couldn't believe it when you opened your window. I didn't think that was possible! Thanks so much for creating this lasting memory of the Trop. I can't believe I cried when the employees came out to say goodbye. Thanks again.

[@shelley131]

This is one of the most depressing videos I have seen from you since I subscribed. Husband and I have fond memories of the Tropicana and the show "Folies Bergeire" I remember seeing Lance Burton doing his magic tricks as a fill in while the cast did their costume change. There was such elegance that has now left Las Vegas. I see the lack of respect customers have when enjoying a fine dining restaurant by wearing casual attire. No one cares about dressing up anymore. I miss the neon lights of the past. I remember that the Tropicana was the last Hotel at the end of the strip. Of course this was eons ago when you and your wife were still teething and in diapers or maybe you weren't born yet. I understand the paradigm is different from my era and changes are inevitable and one has to adapt , that does not necessarily make it better.

[@JKStayinVegas]

Hi Shelley, trust me, Jeff and I feel the same way about the loss of class and elegance here in Vegas. We’ve always talked about how cool it would be to bring some of it back with a dinner club that fall back to Old Vegas. As a bit of a backstory, my dad played with the Ratt Pack off and on and was really good friends with Frank. Old Vegas is in my blood. ♥️

[@joyjoyjoyfolie]

Yes …. My hubby and i have stayed in the past!!

[@richardhales92]

Thanks. My favorite vlog of the closing of Las Vegas Trop! I 'closed down' Sands in Atlantic City & experience (casino closed at 5:59am) was very different. Lots of paper and cocktail glasses on floor! and no maintenance people on the floor (probably partying, which they should be). Great vlog!

[@JKStayinVegas]

Hi Richard! I’m so sorry we’re late seeing this! Thank you SO much for the Super Thanks, we truly appreciate it. 🥰 Yes, it was the strangest thing coming downstairs that morning. Waaaaay too quiet. I (Kristina) got chills and thought, “Really? This is it? After all these years, and the history of this iconic casino and *this* is all she gets??? C’mon!” Well, at least we were there to witness it. Thank you again and we’re so glad you enjoyed it! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Sad to lose the Vegas history it would probably be a different story if it had been center strip like flamingo. Hopefully the baseball stadium will bring visitors to the southern strip properties 👍 but I don't care about baseball though.

Still can't believe Bally's really chose to shut it down and let the absolute worst team in baseball build a stadium there. Long live the Tropicana!

[@dannyreacts2679]

I’m not really gonna judge the baseball team because I don’t have a lot of knowledge on baseball like that however I do disagree with the fact that a baseball stadium is replacing a hotel. If it was up to me instead of replacing the Tropicana I would just rebrand the hotel as ballys and just build a baseball stadium NEXT to the new Ballys on the other side. The reason I say Bally’s is because before I heard about the baseball stadium replacing Tropicana I heard originally they wanted to rebrand the hotel as Ballys so I figured why not they just do that

My question what happens to all the furniture in the hotel rooms and elsewhere. Auction or Charity or Sales?

☆☆☆☆☆WAIT until the Mirage is NEXT then the MEGA Tears will be Over Flowing good bye. 😭😭😭😭

[@roachtoasties]

Well, not exactly a spectacular last night. When I see the videos of the employees out front, I wonder how many are retiring and how many are going to work at other properties. I've stayed there about three or four times over the years, but not recently. Usually I was in the tower in back, that I think they called the Island Tower. The rooms usually had a mirror on the ceiling, but I didn't like lying on the bed looking at myself. The prices were reasonable (before Vegas went crazy with the prices). Another last night video I just watched showed the hotel charged $600 for one night in a standard room. As far as building a baseball stadium there, they could have built it elsewhere. Baseball games and the Las Vegas strip I don't think match. I wouldn't think of going to Las Vegas to attend baseball games. It will create all sorts of congestion on the strip, which is congested enough. Oh, well. It's not my decision.
