LAS VEGAS – As the iconic Tropicana casino in Las Vegas prepares to be imploded to make way for a new resort, hotel space in the city is becoming increasingly limited and expensive.
With thousands of visitors expected to flock to the city to witness the historic implosion, hotels are filling up quickly and prices are skyrocketing. The demand for accommodations is so high that some hotels are even sold out months in advance.
The Tropicana casino, which has been a staple of the Las Vegas Strip for over 60 years, is set to be demolished to make room for a new hotel and casino complex. The implosion is scheduled to take place in the coming weeks, and thousands of spectators are expected to gather to watch the event.
Hotels near the Tropicana are expected to be in high demand, with many tourists wanting to stay close to the action. However, prices are far from cheap, with some hotels charging upwards of $500 a night for a room.
“I’ve never seen hotel prices this high in Las Vegas,” said one tourist who was trying to book a room near the Tropicana. “It’s insane how much they’re charging for a night’s stay. But I guess it’s all part of the Vegas experience.”
Some tourists have resorted to booking accommodations further away from the Strip in order to save money. However, this has led to a surge in demand for alternative forms of transportation, such as taxis, ride-sharing services, and rental cars.
The implosion of the Tropicana is expected to draw thousands of onlookers, as well as media outlets from around the world. The event is expected to be a spectacle, with fireworks and a light show accompanying the implosion.
Despite the high prices and limited availability of hotel rooms, tourists are still eager to witness the historic event.
“I’ve been coming to Vegas for years, and I’ve never seen anything like this,” said one visitor. “I wouldn’t miss this for anything. It’s going to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
As the implosion of the Tropicana draws nearer, hotel prices are only expected to rise further. Tourists are advised to book their accommodations as soon as possible to secure a room at a reasonable rate.
