The Tropicana promotes its landmark longevity with artifacts from bygone casinos and characters.
Analysts are worried that the Strip is rapidly getting overbuilt.
The Hall of Fame is giving the Tropicana a lot of bang for the buck. The inductions, which are scheduled every six months, are by invitation only. Cutler counts five different video walls. Another shows film footage of the El Rancho burning in 1960. The museum gives guests a glimpse backstage with a mock-up of a showgirl's dressing room.
