LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Tropicana Las Vegas, a Sin City landmark for more than six decades, is shutting its doors in the spring to make room for a $1.5 billion Major League Baseball stadium that will be home to the relocating Oakland Athletics.
All 30 MLB owners in November gave their approval for the A's to move to Las Vegas.
The company's announcement came just a month after the Tropicana and the Culinary Workers Union, which represents about 500 workers there, reached an agreement for a new five-year contract.
For veteran workers at the Tropicana, Pappageorge said, that totals tens of thousands of dollars.
“In Las Vegas, hotels are bought and sold on a regular basis," Pappageorge said.
