Fresh Squeezed Tropicana
Tropicana Entertainment to file for Chapter 11 protection
http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080505/tropicana_bankruptcy.html
Chaper 11 is for reorganization so it doesn't necessarily mean the end for the Trop. However one can wish. I have thought the Tropicana has been on it's last leg for some time now. It's sitting on prime real estate and there is really no benefit to that casino anymore. I haven't stayed there in many years and have no interest in ever playing there again. It's like the bastard child of the 4 casino's on that corner.

Tropicana is pretty lame. Their table gaming area is small and they don't offer all the games. However, a couple of years ago I won $250 playing 3 Card Poker at their casino. We might have to go there for $5 Blackjack.

Unfortunately, I don't think the Trop is going anywhere soon. Like the half blind octogenarian who refuses to surrender his driver's license, Tropicana just doesn't know when to move on. They obviously can't afford the remodeling required to meet current Vegas standards and the real estate has much more potential than they can exploit. Eventually, somebody (probably MGM/Mirage) will make them a blockbuster offer they can't refuse but that will not happen until the economy improves.
And no, we are not going there for $5 blackjack.
