Exploring & Final Elevator Rides at The Tropicana Resort Hotel - Las Vegas, NV
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 вер 2024
- [Recorded March 2024] Today is the final day of operation for the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. This is one of the oldest remaining hotels on The Strip, but time has run out as it will be demolished later this year to make way for a new stadium. I was able to see this property one last time before it closes. Enjoy this video that I put together that includes photos, walkthroughs, and final rides on the elevators. RIP Tropicana 1957-2024.

I hope you gave those security guards hell. I would have told them off lol
Security needs to be fired asap smh 💀💀 they really don’t have anything better to do than to bash a couple of elevator enthusiasts for filming when this resort is LITERALLY closing soon and you’re trying to admire the resort for probably the last time. I can’t with security, they need to be better trained and if not they should just get the boot
Today is probably the last day of their job anyway 💀
@@Jowevator3219 god I really hope so
They’re all fired now because the place is closing today.
@@Dwall44yea but I’m just saying this as like a future reference for other resorts and such
@@Dwall44more like lay-off
Sad to see a hotel like this go. RIP. and I hope those security guards at the end have so much fun when the hotel closes 😁
You’re right I agree with them ☺️
wow, that motor wind up on 2:22!
I saw about this on the news the other day, that they were closing. Shame I never got to see it in person - I love the mid-century architecture that's quickly fading from the aesthetic of this country. Thank you so much for documenting this wonderful place for posterity.
went here around the same time. These all will be missed!
Being it was the last day, the security should have dropped the ego, and taken the filmers to the elevator room let them document......
I love the Club Tower elevators!
I'm also in Las Vegas too! I never stayed here, but R.I.P to this hotel! 😢
That security guard needs to be fired for real! 😡
I would have asked for the General Manager. I thought only the General Manager or Owner could trespass someone. Guess not. I get that it's private property but the place is being destroyed and I really wish I could have visited but I never got to go to Las Vegas. Rest in Pieces Tropicana. 1957-2024. You looked so awesome and you will be missed.
“He’s got an attitude” I would've cussed them out like be fr your going to loose your job soon anyway😭☠️💀
They literally trespassed onto resort property and wandered around recording. It isn't the biggest deal in the world though when they (understandably) got kicked out. They proceeded to have an attitude instead of just apologize. Security was in the right for sure and did their job.
@@ToSomeExtent817 tf wrong with you photography is not a crime and its not tresspassing☠️💀 glad those security lost their jobs 😜😂😂
Yup this vintage hotel is been demolished and get new baseball stadium in this place
Hope the security has fun in the unemployment line. He just mad hes loosing his job lmao. Like seriously, imagine getting trespassed before a hotel is shutting down days prior
They were Just doing their duty
Too bad we’re losing a good hotel. And even worse of the way security was at the end…thanks for posting this!
I’m glad I was able to see the glass elevators last year before they are gone. It’s a shame we’re gonna be losing some of my favorite scenic elevators overlooking the strip.
" hEs gOt a AtTiTuDe" mf trying to act like he is your dad 💀 💀💀💀💀
What’s the point of security trying to protect the place when they don’t have to 3 weeks later? I feel like they would need more training in general. But man, RIP to this
Resort. Elevators were really cool.
10:07 really wish more elevators had this feature, where it tells you which elevator is coming
I went here about a year and a half ago, and while it is sad that this place is getting the wrecking ball (as well as LV is losing its original charm), I am so glad that I went here while I was in Las Vegas!
"He's got an attitude" says the guy threatening to arrest people who just want to see a famous resort for the last time
This whole encounter is bizarre. I had absolutely no issues when I was here. But then again just probably finding any reason to take it out on somebody since they are all losing their jobs. This is probably the only dumpier casino on the strip I even bothered filming at. Forget Circus Circus...I could only imagine how miserable and nasty the security must be in there lol. The experience here would have been a country club compared to Circus Circus
I remember staying at this hotel when I was 4 and we were visiting some family nearby. My dad later stayed here by himself in '07 and I remember asking him to take pictures of the elevators (this was before the mod), which he did. Sad to see the Tropicana go, but I suppose it's not surprising.
What was the manufacturer and what fixtures did they have?
I believe they had Armor fixtures
The security is kind of rude at the end as everyone knew it going to be closing permanently.
Luckily, I have filmed all of the elevators there when we stayed there.
You should try to get a few parts from the elevators to add them to your parts collection.
RIP the tropicana hotel 1957-2024😢
Security was likely pissy because they were probably losing their jobs soon
At least you got some shots
Im in Las Vegas right now! We would of met!
This was filmed three weeks ago
Ah.
By harassing innocent elevator photographers, that resort is in violation of the law. So in a way, it is a good thing that it is closing.
I mean it’s their property but they could have been nicer
That’s too bad. Of course because the Oakland A’s are moving to Vegas, a hotel had to say bye-bye
Unfortunately I never made it here when I was in Vegas sadly. I Didn’t know that they are building a stadium as i through they will keeping the hotel there.
End of era :(
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Sad to see this hotel go. I feel like Las Vegas is slowly getting rid of its “old identity”
Because it is. And I hate it. Such a waste to demolish this multi Tower Casino for what? Another stadium? I could go on… But I won’t.
It is going to be very sad when the hotel closes forever.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
That means it’s sad today because I think today’s the last day for this place.
"together forever" in an empty, echoey hotel is delusional
fucking hate security
3:02 I remember walking down this hallway on my last visit. This seems to be the one public area of the property that didn't get renovated and definitely has a different atmosphere.
I had my own encounter with security here (during my first visit before the pandemic). I was on the way to the low-rise building, as I wanted to see if it had an elevator. A security guard approached me and I think they asked if I was filming. I told them that I was filming videos of the elevators as they are an interest of mine. They wanted to review the footage to see if I had filmed the casino floor, and after they had seen that I didn't, there was no issue. If I had filmed the casino floor from the glass elevator, it's possible they would have asked me to delete the footage though I don't think they would have told me to leave the property (maybe if I refused to delete the footage). The one strange thing is that I asked the security guard if the back building had an elevator and they said it didn't (even though I now know it does, thankfully I was able to ride it when I revisited in 2023).
Yea somebody else I know got told to stop taking pictures of the casino floor. I wonder what they’re hiding
Also, did you guys check for Service Elevators when you came here?
Nope we got kicked out before we could check
@@Jowevator3219 well rip lol.
@@Jowevator3219 lol also just the fact that they kicked you out literally weeks before they close and the place gets blown up is ridiculous/also kind of funny. Too bad you listened to them and stopped recording haha. Funny how uptight some people are about that stuff, but this place really out of all places should’ve been the exception, since they were literally getting ready to close permanently.
Edit: whoops I forgot I replied to you already like an hour ago lol.
Yea it’s a habit that I wish I didn’t have. As soon as someone tells me to stop recording, I push the end video button naturally. I wish i recorded the whole altercation
@@Jowevator3219 i’m the same way, and I hate it.
Fat L on the security at this place.
Please tell me that someone got the parts.
Iast day 😅
Such a waste! The elevators, the furniture, the carpeting, the decorations, all that other electrical equipment, the plumbing and lighting, all of it… gone to waste.
Most of the stuff will probably be sold
@@Jowevator3219 I hope.
Plus, I wonder if Otis will come in and take the elevator stuff or something? Maybe not them but some other company could probably use at least the doors or the fixtures or something?
Probably not tbh
@@Jowevator3219 no I’m sure you’re right… But one can dream lol.
