The Tropicana Las Vegas is a casino hotel on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. It is owned and operated by Bally’s Corporation, on land leased from Gaming and Leisure Properties. The hotel-casino occupies 35 acres (14 ha) at the southeast corner of the Tropicana – Las Vegas Boulevard intersection.

Unfortunately The Tropicana is scheduled to close on April 2, 2024, and is expected to be demolished by the end of the year. The place will be a new home of the Athletics, a Major League baseball team currently located in Oakland, California.
