Next to Tropicana ...

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.
