Isn't the Tropicana scheduled for demolition?

Whoa! Really? Bummer.

I stayed there long ago and loved their meandering lagoon style pool with it's waterfalls.

Of course it couldn't possibly compare to Wynn or Mandalay Bay nowadays. I seem to remember a cave-like grotto under the largest waterfall containing a swim-up bar. Seats were submerged just beneath the surface of the water. You may have been able to gamble without getting out of the water too, although I can't imaging where I'd have put my winnings!
