The Tropicana was one of those Las Vegas resorts that always felt different. It opened in 1957 with this bright, elegant, tropical look that earned it the nickname “The Tiffany of the Strip,” and for decades it had a personality that people genuinely connected with. From the moment you walked in, it had this soft, classic charm that felt like old Vegas in the best possible way.

One of the things people still remember most is Folies Bergère. For fifty years, that show defined the Tropicana. It was glamorous, colorful, and full of energy, and for many visitors it became the highlight of their trip. And as the years went on, the Trop kept growing — new towers, expanded casino space, and a reputation as one of the warmest, most welcoming resorts on the Strip. Even as Vegas got louder and bigger around it, the Tropicana held onto its identity.

In the 2010s, the “New Tropicana” remodel gave the property a fresh South Beach look and brought that tropical vibe back to life. And even toward the end, people loved staying there because it still felt personal. It wasn’t trying to compete with mega-resorts — it was just being the Tropicana, and that was enough.

This video is simply a celebration of everything the Trop meant to Las Vegas. The memories, the look, the shows, the atmosphere — all the little moments that made it a classic. If you ever visited the Trop, stayed there, worked there, or just loved hearing stories about it, I hope this brings back some good nostalgia.
