Nevada regulations state that all progressive jackpots must be paid out before they can officially shut their doors. That comes to $1.6 million that will be given out as winnings paid on slot machines before July 16th. What does that mean for…

It’s been a while since we reported on what’s happening at Tropicana Las Vegas. The resort officially closed its doors on April 2nd of this year, and since that time we’ve seen them bring in moving vans, auction off furniture, and put up safety fences. But a walk past the property today reveals that the building is almost a skeleton of what it used to be. Visitors can actually see right through the building now. So where do we go from here? Now, what’s left of Tropicana Las Vegas echos with the sounds of construction crews and wrecking balls. The…
