An end to an iconic era for one of the most iconic structures to grace the Strip. The was conceived by Ben Jaffe, part owner of the Hotel in Miami Beach. The $15 million Tropicana opened on April 4, 1957, as the most expensive Las Vegas resort developed up to that point. The Tropicana underwent numerous ownership changes throughout its history. Mob connections were present at the time of its opening, and an FBI investigation in 1979 uncovered a skimming operation at the resort. It was sold that year to Ramada Inns, which later transferred ownership to its spin-off company, Aztar Corporation, in 1989. During the 2000s, Aztar considered demolishing the Tropicana for development of a new resort, although this did not come to fruition. Columbia Sussex bought the resort in 2007, but lost it to bankruptcy two years later, with Onex Corporation emerging as the new owner. Onex launched a $180 million renovation, the property's first since 1986. The project was completed in 2011 and added a South Beach theme.Penn National Gaming bought the Tropicana in 2015, before selling it to Bally's in 2022. A year later, Major League Baseball's Oakland Athletics reached an agreement with Bally's to demolish the Tropicana, making way for two new projects: a baseball stadium (tentatively the New Las Vegas Stadium) on nine acres of the site, and a new resort bearing the Bally's name on the remaining land.
