''We did not inadvertently leave the casino out of the concourse,'' said Paul E. Rubeli, president of the Ramada Gaming Group, during a recent tour of the new facility.
The expansion makes TropWorld the biggest casino in town, with 90,000 square feet of gambling space, as against 60,000 for the next largest.
The new hotel tower doubles the number of guest rooms at TropWorld, to 1,014, compared with 750 for the second largest casino hotel in the city.
If Donald J. Trump carries out plans to open the partly completed Taj Mahal casino hotel next year with 1,200 rooms, Mr. Rubeli said, Ramada would build a 500-room hotel over the TropWorld garage, franchise it and link it to TropWorld by a skywalk. ''We will stay one step ahead of the Taj,'' he said.

This large expansion project that went on for some time certainly didn't finish up in 1982; one year after Trop opened in 1981. Note the reference to Taj Mahal "next year" ...
