From Showgirls to Stadiums: The End of an Era for the Tropicana Las Vegas
Las Vegas, the city of bright lights and fleeting fortunes, bids farewell to another iconic landmark. The Tropicana, a hotel and casino with a rich history dating back over six decades, is scheduled to close its doors in early April 2024 to make way for a new Major League Baseball stadium. This article explores the storied past of the Tropicana and the bittersweet circumstances surrounding its closure.
A Mid-Century Oasis
The Tropicana opened its doors in 1957, a time of post-war optimism and a burgeoning interest in Las Vegas tourism. Designed by famed architect M. Tony Sherman, the hotel embraced a Polynesian theme, complete with lush landscaping, cascading waterfalls, and a sense of tropical escape. The resort's 300 rooms, each adorned with bamboo furnishings and tropical decor, transported guests to a far-off paradise in the heart of the desert.
The Tropicana's grand opening was a star-studded affair, with celebrities like Jayne Mansfield and Mickey Rooney in attendance. The hotel's unique theme and luxurious amenities quickly established it as a destination for A-list celebrities and soon became a popular spot for entertainment acts. The Tropicana's success paved the way for other themed resorts in Las Vegas, such as the Stardust and the Dunes, which further solidified the city's reputation as a one-of-a-kind tourist destination.
Showgirls, Scandals, and Stars
The Tropicana's legacy is intertwined with the golden age of Las Vegas showmanship. The hotel's elaborate revues, featuring dazzling costumes and talented showgirls, were a major draw. The "Folies Bergère," a Parisian-style cabaret show, debuted at the Tropicana in 1959 and became an instant sensation. The show's mix of glamour, comedy, and risqué performances set the standard for Las Vegas entertainment for decades to come.
Legends like Liberace and Frank Sinatra graced the Tropicana stage, solidifying its reputation as a hotspot for entertainment. Liberace, known for his flamboyant style and virtuosic piano skills, performed regularly at the Tropicana throughout the 1960s and 1970s. His extravagant costumes and elaborate stage sets were a perfect match for the hotel's over-the-top aesthetic. Frank Sinatra, who epitomized the cool, sophisticated side of Las Vegas, also made frequent appearances at the Tropicana, drawing crowds of adoring fans.
However, the glamorous facade sometimes masked a darker reality. The Tropicana, like many Las Vegas casinos in its early years, had ties to organized crime. In the 1970s, the hotel was briefly owned by the Kansas City mob, who used the property to launder money and conduct other illegal activities. The Tropicana's association with the underworld was not uncommon in Las Vegas at the time, as the city's casinos were often financed and controlled by criminal organizations.
Despite these unsavory connections, the Tropicana remained a popular destination for tourists and celebrities alike. The hotel's reputation for top-notch entertainment and luxurious accommodations continued to draw visitors from around the world. The Tropicana's showgirls became iconic symbols of Las Vegas glamour, gracing the covers of magazines and appearing in films and television shows.
Evolution and Adaptation
Las Vegas is a city that constantly reinvents itself, and the Tropicana was no exception. As the city grew and evolved, so too did the hotel. The Tropicana underwent renovations and expansions over the years, adapting to changing tourist preferences and the competitive landscape of the Las Vegas Strip.
In the 1980s, the hotel's original Polynesian theme gave way to a more modern aesthetic. The bamboo and thatch decor were replaced with sleek, contemporary furnishings, and the hotel added new amenities like a fitness center and a spa. The Tropicana also expanded its convention facilities, recognizing the growing importance of business travel to the Las Vegas economy.
The 1990s brought further changes to the Tropicana. The hotel's showroom was renovated and renamed the Tiffany Theater, in honor of the famous jeweler. The new theater hosted a variety of acts, from classic Vegas showgirls to contemporary pop stars. The Tropicana also added a new tower, the Island Tower, which increased the hotel's room count to over 1,800.
Despite its efforts to stay relevant, the Tropicana eventually faced competition from newer, larger resorts that offered a wider range of attractions. The hotel's aging infrastructure and relatively small size made it difficult to compete with the likes of the Bellagio, the Venetian, and the Wynn. The Tropicana's ownership changed hands several times in the early 2000s, as investors sought to modernize the property and keep it competitive in the ever-evolving Las Vegas market.
