Tropicana stripped of its license

Mr. Today says:

Tropicana is stripped of its license from the state Casino Control Commison as of Wednesday December, 14.

LOL. We know the games are all the same, they are trying to make the place look nicer with new interior renovations (going with the trend of the other casinos with warm beige colors.... oooh, so original), the Quarter is ok, and the food that the casino offers sucks (especially the buffet and other "lower priced" restaurants that compete with the other lower priced restaurants of the other casinos).

... pft... no wonder the Press Of Atlantic City says:

"its owner, Columbia Sussex Corp. was incapable of running the type of "first class facility' required under state law."

Personally, I'm glad that happened because now, I can take my mom somewhere else to gamble instead of that shithole.

Mr. Yesterday says:

Well well well, isn't this a shock. When I graduater high school, my first real casino job was at the Tropicana. I was there for about 8 years. I was there for most of their expansion projects in the "80's". In my opinion, Tropicana is one of the nicest casinos in Atlantic City. Tropicana has adapted to the many changes that Atantic City has seen. The casino space is huge and the hotel accomodates thousands.

Unfortunatly, the Columbia Sussex Corp took a top notched casino and turned it into crap. I'm not a rocket scientist but you don't need many brain cells to know that if you fire over 900 employees, service is not going to get effected. They should be ashamed of themselves along with the New Jersey Casino Control Commission which gave them their licence in the first place.

This will all pass very soon and for the better. The Columbia Sussex Corp will (and have) loose their casino license, the property will go up for sall (at fair market value), another company will buy it up real fast ( i'm sure there are companies waiting in line for the sale to start), the company that buys the property will rehire the staff needed and then spend lots of money to get the Tropicana back in shape. At that point The Tropicana will start their hugh new marketing campaign.

The Tropicana will be reborn which is great because the property is still well worth the trip. It is one of the places to visit and stay. I can go on and on. So yes, right now the property is a shithole but in the near future, the Tropicana Casino Resort will shine again like it has for so many years.
