It's closed and is coming down, but not before dangerous material is removed from a relic of 1950s Vegas.

So long Tropicana 😢

It’s just sad that a corporate ownerships shakeups and no one wanting to INVEST into the beautiful property is why it’s coming down. It’s just ridiculous.

Yes it’s very ridiculous.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And not enough people found it beautiful to want to put up the money to save it. Anyway it's not even very old. And honestly to me not particularly attractive either. And what about all that asbestos? Just think about all the people who might have gotten cancer from working there all these years? There may be lawsuits in store.

This is why Vegas never grows. One building goes up another goes down.

@mattbosley3531 you don't get cancer from asbestos sequestered within the building, only breathing in loose particulate.

Greedy contractors are demolishing historical places in California on a daily basis . Now Vegas. Horrible. Stadium? That’s just demolishing the classic appeal that vegas has.

@@cwg73160 I think the only person that needs help here is you. 🤣 What a strange person you are to get so upset over people who do care about historical places, being demolished. As well as the unnecessary amount of apartment, buildings and stadiums, especially in Vegas being built. get real. I’m guessing you’re part of the problem that’s why you got so weird. I think people got what I meant because demolishing contractors. Well that’s what they do is demolish. Yikes.

If the Tropicana will not be imploded, would the towers still be demolished by October?

@sloehr1974 3 ай бұрын

If these reports are accurate and there is as much still remaining onsite as there is, the property wont even be fully abated by October, let alone prepared for tower implosion or deconstruction.

I think it's sad how they just like ripped all the trees and the shrubs out. They could have had those plants and their shrubs. Somebody could replant those beautiful plants, but then again whoever bought that Tropicana property line just completely ripped everything out. So sad to watch another piece of History go down the hill

Now if it was so dangerous how was the hotel open

@sexygeek8996 3 ай бұрын

It isn't dangerous if it is sealed inside the walls.

@lesheinen6116 3 ай бұрын

Asbestos is only dangerous if it becomes air born. Much of the asbestos contained in building construction is in adhesives, tiles and glazing which seldom become an air born threat until demolition. In order to mitigate it, special teams come in and remove the items containing asbestos so that when the demo begins the air born issue is a non factor.

I also highly agree that John Fisher should sell the A's to a group of investors who could be former A's players, like reggie Jackson or Rickey. It would look like the group of investors in Baltimore.
