Exciting Developments in Las Vegas: Tropicana Demolition, Movie Studio Plans, Airport Jackpot, and More!

Las Vegas is buzzing with news of potential casino demolitions, exciting movie studio developments, and a surprising airport jackpot win. The iconic Tropicana hotel-casino may be the next to face the wrecking ball, with plans for a demolition tentatively scheduled for October. This would be the first Strip casino implosion since the Riviera in 2016.

In other news, a $1.8 billion movie studio and mixed-use development called Summerlin Production Studios is set to be built on the west side of town. The project, a joint venture between Howard Hughes Holdings and Sony Entertainment, will involve actor Mark Wahlberg in some capacity. The complex will include retail, restaurants, and office space, but no timeline has been announced.

Meanwhile, a lucky player at Reid International Airport hit the jackpot on a Wheel of Fortune slot machine, walking away with an impressive $782,467. This win goes to show that the slots at the airport can indeed pay off.

On a more somber note, the popular $25 blackjack mini-tournaments at the Downtown Grand have been discontinued after just over a year of running. Currently, there are no low-buy-in gambling tournaments available in Las Vegas.

For those wondering about redeeming uncashed chips and slot vouchers from the Tropicana, chips can be redeemed at the neighboring OYO until July 31, while slot vouchers can be redeemed by following the instructions on the back of the ticket. Rewards points can be redeemed at any Bally’s property nationwide until December 31.
