E-482: The Rat Pack

Random Vegas

Tropicana’s nickname was the “Tiffany of the Strip” because it was said to be the shape of a necklace when viewed from an arial perspective.

This is another property I have an irrational affinity for. Like the Fontainebleau today, the Landmark was a project that stalled for almost a decade before it was completed. Unfortunately, she wasn’t finished by someone who had a passion for her and therefore she struggled. Once it did open it was no longer the tallest building in the city so the cache of that concept was lost. But still, something about her casino in the sky that just sounds appealing. Probably why it still exists for high rollers in properties like Encore. Regardless, I never got to see the Landmark and therefore she will remain idealized to me, like she is in this picture shared by @summacorp, which is probably better than the actual memories I would have made.
