The Tropicana hotel filed for bankruptcy protection last night. It’s long been speculated that the Trop was the next place on the Strip to go. It’s a natural, I would think, given its location. This may bring that day one step closer.
I’ll never forget the night I stayed there. Must have been late 2003? Anyway, I stayed an extra night after a trade show. The Trop was running some sort of special. Like $39/night or some insane number. The room was in the way back, overlooking McCarran. Waking up in there was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. See, there were mirrors on the ceiling, and when I opened my eyes all I could see was a very large, semi-nude man falling from the sky. It took me a moment to figure out it was me. But for $39, what do you expect?

Really, who hasn’t had that morning? In Vegas, I just figured it was a common occurance…
Just be glad you didn’t have that moment inside the back of a van… Um, not that I would either.
