In a surprising turn of events, the iconic Tropicana Las Vegas announced today that it will be selling off its entire inventory of furnished suites before its impending implosion. The move comes as a shock to many longtime patrons and fans of the historic hotel, which has been a staple of the Las Vegas Strip for over 60 years.
According to a press release from the Tropicana, the decision to sell off the suites was made in order to make way for a new, state-of-the-art resort that will be built on the site of the current hotel. The implosion of the Tropicana is scheduled to take place in the coming months, and the new resort is expected to open in its place in 2023.
The furnished suites that are being sold off include everything from plush bedding and luxurious furniture to high-end electronics and artwork. The suites range in size from cozy studios to expansive penthouses, and prices start at just $50,000 for a basic suite and go up to $500,000 for a premium penthouse.
“We wanted to give our loyal guests and collectors the opportunity to own a piece of Tropicana history before it’s gone forever,” said a spokesperson for the hotel. “These suites have been meticulously curated over the years to provide the ultimate in luxury and comfort, and we know that they will make a stunning addition to any home or collection.”
The sale of the furnished suites is expected to generate significant interest among collectors and fans of the Tropicana, many of whom have fond memories of staying at the hotel over the years. In addition to the suites themselves, the hotel will also be selling off a selection of memorabilia and keepsakes, including vintage signage, artwork, and furniture.
For those interested in purchasing a piece of Tropicana history, the sale will begin on May 1st and will run for a limited time only. Interested buyers can visit the hotel’s website for more information on pricing and availability, and can also schedule a private viewing of the suites before making a purchase.
While the implosion of the Tropicana is a bittersweet moment for many, the prospect of owning a piece of its storied history is sure to be a draw for collectors and fans alike. And with the promise of a new, modern resort rising in its place, the future of the Tropicana is sure to be just as exciting as its past.
