We all know the Tropicana is being torn down, to be replaced by the MLB A's new baseball stadium.
Next to it is 115 East Tropicana Ave., the home to 6 different casinos over the years:
1976 -- Paradise Hotel
1977 -- 20th Century
1979 -- The Treasury
1989 -- Hotel San Remo
2006 -- Hooters
2019 -- OYO (current).
This 48 year period is bracketed by Paradise ($1 chip, below) and OYO (postcard, below). Dates research, chip and postcard all courtesy of MOGH/Chipguide.
Who knows the future of this property. With its proximity to the new ballpark, it might be razed at some point... In which case, these lyrics may be operable:
"They paved paradise to put up a parking lot." (Joni Mitchell, on "Big Yellow Taxi").
(Groan!!!) Sorry for the shaggy dog story.
