Tropicana and Mirage casino closures spark preservation movement for iconic artifacts.
The closure and demolition of the Tropicana and The Mirage casinos in Las Vegas have sparked a movement to preserve their iconic kitschy artifacts. Items like crystal chandeliers, showgirl feathers, and fake palm trees are being sorted for sale, donation, or disposal. The Neon Museum has acquired significant pieces, such as the Tropicana's red sign. The Tropicana was demolished for a new baseball stadium, while The Mirage will reopen as a new casino.
