The iconic Tropicana Las Vegas hotel-casino will close its doors on April 2, capping a nearly seven-decade legacy. This is a momentous development. Tropicana General Manager Arik Knowles confirmed the closure and notified personnel of the upcoming destruction in a message to staff. The $1.5 billion development of a state-of-the-art baseball stadium is made possible by the shutdown.<\/p>\n

Knowles described in the message the progressive cancellation of hotel reservations and the shifting of subsequent arrangements. The Oakland Athletics\u2019 new 33,000-seat stadium will be placed on 9 acres of the 35-acre property, as part of Bally\u2019s Corp.\u2019s master plan, which calls for the closure. The stadium is scheduled to open in 2028.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand and appreciate the number of questions many of you have at the time. Please be assured that property leadership is working closely with Bally\u2019s leadership to assist all team members through this transition period,\u201d assured Knowles.<\/p>\n

Union Workers and Severance Agreements<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Tropicana, with approximately 700 employees, has been a part of the Las Vegas landscape since the Rat Pack era. The Culinary Workers Union Local 226 represents about 300 of these employees. Culinary Secretary-Treasurer Ted Pappageorge mentioned that the severance agreement for union workers includes $2,000 for each year of employment at the resort. The Tropicana was among the first resorts to secure a new five-year labor agreement with the Culinary Union in November.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe company notified the workers that their plan was to close, but there were no dates. We worked hard through negotiations in December to try to get the right deal for those workers on the table knowing that there\u2019s a closure coming,\u201d<\/em> explained Pappageorge.<\/p>\n
