[@LuisSanchez-iw7bi]

Remember how saf I felt when the Boarwalk closed ( even if It was a dump), the New Frontier, the westward Ho, the beautifull Desert Inn, Stardust, Riviera, the old Sahara. Now It comes down to the Flamingo witch there Is not. Lot of the old place left. Thanks for all that work you are putting up Steven, great content!

[@JamesPrill-hz1oj]

The wife and I honeymooned across the street from the boardwalk at Polo towers, we walked through the boardwalk knowing it was going away for city center, now I see they removed the Hawaiian village as well

[@m.hreels9822]

Why does Vegas need another stadium that's crazy 😧 they're tearing down a piece of history for a baseball stadium just unbelievable 😭 they seriously just want to bring in more sports action for that money 💰 now I'm seriously depressed about this going away 💔😢 this is a sin!

[@marvaz5178]

So sad❤😢❤😢❤

[@MelinaM-ih8nc]

I feel the same way. It's a shame

[@Perich29]

Tropicana hotel just hit the 3rd strike so there out.

[@user-qg4hx6pf3z]

So sad

[@jeffbruton8685]

Another stadium? The traffic will be crazy! Like L.A crazy… what happens during the few weeks all 3 teams will have games? Add a concert …. Phew! Luckily the locals know how to get around most of the strip traffic🙂

[@vegasmarc7252]

Old Vegas died in 1989 when the Mirage opened. The Tropicana could never compete with its neighbors in the current environment.

[@BubblyinUSA2010]

I loved going to the Tropicana, it was one of the first casinos I went to. Their dinner buffets were great! It was in the mid 90’s. 😊 I’ll miss it!😢

[@allen9069]

In 1989 I went to the Folies Bergere at the Tropicana. A great evening for sure. Just looked up the history of that show.....longest running show in Las Vegas history 1959-2009.

[@robertmacpherson6715]

Saw the same show in 1978 on my all paid for4 day first trip to Vegas. Nick Naff was our host for the 4 days. He took us to shows ( Paul Anka, Freddie Prince, introduced us to Gladys Knight and the Pips and Johnny Cash, front rows seats, took us to restaurants and private clubs where all the Follies dancers went and behind the casino scene. I was hooked. It was a dream weekend, I was 30. I am now 77 and have been 40+ times,,last 2019BC most likely my last because it is not Vegas anymore and hasn’t been for years - to bad.

[@danw2112]

Me and my best friend stayed at the Tropicana for one night in August 2001. I did buy 2 Tropicana T shirts and a Tropicana tank top my last time I was in Las Vegas in 2006.

[@donna4475]

Thank you! Born and raised in Vegas! Now outside of Portland Oregon. I have family still there.

[@crazyone61]

great video. I was in town about a month ago for a convention and took the time to stop by there one more time, along with getting some pictures. Sad to see it go.

[@cascadekid2]

16 years ago, my wife and I took our son to the burlesque show. (Folies de Breshre) He was only 15, and his eyes were as big as saucers. when the showgirls came out I also remember the trapeze artists that would fly above the poker tables in the middle of the casino every hour. I stayed there with my brother one time and they put us in a room. It was so far away. I swear it took a half an hour to get to the casino floor. I enjoyed their Hawaiian themed buffet. we were in Vegas for Christmas this year, and I did go over there from the New York New York. It’s definitely bittersweet thanks Stephen.

[@debbieploschnitznig2576]

Thanks for all you do Steven

[@magnusalexander1601]

I was born and raised in Vegas and have been to the Tropicana many times. So many fond memories of the Trop and Vegas of the 80's-2000's. I live in Reno now and haven't been back to Vegas for about a year now. It's really sad how the Vegas I grew up in is mostly gone now. I think the only "original" casinos left on the Strip are Caesars and Circus Circus now. It seems like the city can't wait to tear its history down.

[@MH-eu1dr]

years ago when I was a taxi driver at night during my masters at UNLV, the taxi stand guy at the tropicana had control over the music and would take requests, but would always switch back when people came. This lasted about a week, then it stopped. To this day I dunno why

[@AdamVahle]

The first Vegas show I ever saw was The Follies at The Trop

[@sunmeetkaur7387]

I’ve stayed at Tropicana before the pandemic. It’s a beautiful property! It will definitely be missed! They had a great buffet and it was affordable to stay there! I don’t think Vegas needs another stadium!

[@michellemcgowan1630]

I remember staying at the Trop and they used to have live parrots on perches and they would have a little show with them. I will miss the Trop sad to see it go……..😢

[@lisah5784]

Oh yeah thanks I forgot about that memory😊

[@chickenscratcher3487]

Cool Video Steven 👍🏻 I miss Vegas! I haven’t been there since my 40th birthday ( 13 years ago tomorrow ) Thanks to your videos I see how much has changed

[@trishschaefer8504]

Have stayed many times at Tropicana.Always was clean, great staff, the pool area so nice. We enjoyed the smaller Casino floor. This makes me sad..

[@flicxs1]

The first time I went to this property the casino floor was open and spacious. After the redo it became so chopped up and very lack luster. The property is too vanilla and I think that was its undoing. I want to see a strip property or properties offer a 93% payback on all slots and stir up the pot and grab up most of the business.

[@johnchambers8528]

I only visited the Tropicana once when I was in Las Vegas. I wanted to see that stained glass ceiling. At the time they played live games under it. I played my first time playing other than slots there. I hope they find someway to save that piece of the Trop. and relocate it to a new or remodeled casino or museum.

[@mikewingate284]

I went to the Trop a few times over the years. It was purely for the nostalgia because I never walked out of that casino with more money than I went in with. MGM, Bally's (before Horseshoe), Flamingo, Aria, and Caesars Palace have all been good to me in the past. Bellagio, Wynn, and Venetian not so much. I don't think many people will really miss the Trop.

[@toddrunyon]

If that many people really loved the trop, they would have supported it more over the last decade.

[@dvish6069]

My first trip to Vegas was to the Tropicana in the 90's. I was cruising around the casino after hitting the ATM at midnight and hit 3 white 7's for $600 on a Red White and Blue machine. I was so happy it covered my trip!

[@mr.stacks9393]

Stayed there on my second trip ever and played 7card stud over at the excalibur. back in the 90's

[@bradnoblegambles]

Nice work Steven. Quick and concise video story!

[@stevensmith4164]

OMG I WILL MISS THE TROP IT WAS MY FAVORITE SO MANY GREAT STAYS

[@EricJGaming]

Thanks for the memories Tropicana Las Vegas, where a James Bond movie was filmed and others events

[@ronaldpalomeque4132]

Tropicana was the first casino my family & I stayed at in 2001. I remember they had a live chicken which you would play Tic Tac Toe against.

[@Gary-fj7bn]

Until the Mirage was built, they had the best pool and grounds in Las Vegas.

[@lisah5784]

Still a great pool😊

[@Stylelss]

After going to vegas many many times it’s the only hotel I never walked into. I feel guilty now

[@nahnoonahnoo]

Don’t feel guilty. In 2011 the hotel was looking very tired already even though many areas within it had been cosmetically redone. You would not have missed out on much because it was just another hotel imo. The whole establishment apart from the rooms reeked of tobacco.

[@mikeredd525]

Thanks for the videos Stephen!

[@Gene601]

Hi from Regina. Went here once in 2008. Interesting for the history, but not much else.

[@lindathompson5099]

This just kills me! All old time Vegas is gone 😫

[@SOCORROGM]

I remember staying at Tropicana for $40, on a week day when I lived in san Diego

[@jimmyjames2549]

Friend and I walked in the Trop years ago and was told they just finished retro-renovating it. So strange its getting demo'd after that but the price must have been right.

[@lorenl9262]

Hello Steven :)- I am a long time follower of your and a resident who has lived in this city since 2011, I am completely disgusted with the direction that VEGA$ is choosing to go as I feel that the history is being put to rest which will just make Las Vegas just another city as it is turning into another commercialized LA, New York or any other major metropolitan city !!! :(- Kudos to You!!

[@buckyblue]

👍 Tropicana would give me good feelings. 😢

[@argosrubengarcia]

It was their first hotel that I stayed in Vegas in 2002

[@dorothylenard5283]

That was great to have a last look at the Tropicana. 😃

[@ozmusicmaestro]

8 visits to Vegas from Australia and visited comedy club every occasion. I did like this casino. My last visit in 2019 I stood in line for delayed Prince Tribute beside brilliant Pat Benatar performer I had watched the previous night. The Prince tribute was delayed far too long and I elected to get a refund and leave to attend another show. M last memory of the Tropicana.

[@unchainedsilver9702]

Good Video Steve .....Sad to see it go was in there a while ago and thought it was a clean and classy property for being older.....Vegas has lost too many of the historical properties over the years and there are already plenty of empty lots around Vegas for a new Stadium to go ...

[@TheJhn924]

What's the reasoning behind no videos given they're about to close... I don't get it.

[@arliss7132]

People will miss the idea of the Trop, not actually miss the Trop. It was so void of people every time I walked through it.

[@johndahlman3490]

Steven i met a couple today in the park he was from holland and she was filipino there children are holapino's.

[@OLIVIAUSSIE]

Why dont they save the sign for the sign museum?? I'd love if we were all allowed to buy a brick from Tropicana.

[@TackyFlamingo]

that’s strange they told you no video recording, i walked around the place during its last couple days/final day very blatantly carrying around cameras and filming/photographing with no issues at all. seen many many others doing the same as well

[@hobbsthehobbyist]

Does anyone know where they will resale all the furnitures and fixtures at?

[@azshoppingprincess4298]

Lol - back in the late 70’s I went to Vegas with my Mom and I was 17ish and got us kicked out of the Tropicana for trying to play a slot machine😂😂

[@MelinaM-ih8nc]

This is so upsetting to me. I have memories going to the follies and the comedy stop but the history of it alone. Its sad and I hope they save the Tiffany glass.

[@leebeidelman]

You should have done a 4-1 video where you told us that you were leaving Las Vegas!

[@wiggitywak2050]

Me and Carla love your channel

[@wrathofpaulii]

I just don't understand why these casinos are so against filming inside. it's free advertising! I've definitely made decisions to stay at places after watching these videos. I get they don't like people filming the table games area but a simple walkthrough should be fine. maybe because some streamers can be disruptive? I never stayed at Tropicana but I'm glad I was able to visit a few times.

[@michaelellringer5600]

Sinless City is still mired in the 1960's way of thinking and they just can't seem to want to put their arms around the 21 century, and they experts at building White Elephants. As fewer and fewer people attend sport venues, it would be like Sinless City to build a sports stadium.

[@josephcarrillo2653]

Been in once in '03 and it was a downtown like casino

[@jamesmaass8929]

Vegas may have pro football and now baseball soon, but it's not in a good place, business ie gambling is down , hotel rooms down, people can gamble in their own backyard is the bottom line. Vegas doesn't have a monopoly on it anymore. Especially slots and sports betting, and don't get me wrong I loved Vegas in the 60s through 80s, hell i used to love Reno. I still go once a year to Vegas , but it's not what it once was, yes you have to change with the times , Vegas can only change with the times so many times

[@robertmacpherson6715]

The old true Vegas died as a great adult only oasis years ago early to late a 80’s. It is now Disneyland with gambling, high prices, poor hospitality, tight machines, lousy rewards programs, more crime inside and out of casinos and the end of the Tropicana is just another example of how the corporations change the face of what was the only adult playground in the world.

[@Justaddsaltt]

😊 at Steven are u gonna go to the demo I have Ben living in Vegas for quet some time

[@OLIVIAUSSIE]

Steven do you know of anyone buying Trop items and willing to mail to us folks who dont live there?? On that auction page I only see a buyer is responsible for p/u. Unf I live way far away..but if someone got a wash cloth for 1.00 I'd pay for mailing like I bet a lot of people would. Im sure items will be on Ebay for exorbitant fees:(

[@m.hreels9822]

I didn't know they were replacing it with a stadium 🏟️ why are they putting another stadium when they already have allegiant stadium or is that the one they're talking about? 🤔 Now I'm confused.

[@wiggitywak2050]

Brian in tampa watching

[@gregjackson93]

I’ve been to Las Vegas well over 20 times, but I only visited the Trop once. It was quiet and dull, but they had decent blackjack rules. I left with a $1 chip for my collection. That’s all I can say about it. I think the A’s are a terrible team for Las Vegas. Their owner is terrible, and he is trying to fleece the city. Tell him to take his sorry team to Nashville.

[@davidteovogel3482]

Fully agree. I have now quit being a fan of mlb because of this. It is disgusting. The owner is a horrible person and mlb just allowed him to tank the A's into poverty so he could line his pockets with a new stadium in Vegas. It's shameful.

[@timothymaimone8611]

Vegas was compromised when the hard scape was altered by the F1 event. The Oakland “A’s” coming to Las Vegas does not guarantee high attendance and the residents and tourists will pay for the shortcomings.

[@jasonthemason1971]

Good video. Bummer it’s closed. I think I liked Vegas better when there were no sports teams. Some nimrod is selling a Tropicana water bottle on eBay for $999.99. 😂

[@danielesbordone1871]

Couldn't they have built a baseball stadium somewhere else ?

He can take more liberties with filming this time because being banned from a casino that will close soon isn't much of a threat.
