$90M-facelift helps Tropicana float on troubled gambling waters

Who says getting a multi-million dollar facelift has no practical value?

Thanks to a $90 million facelift, Atlantic City’s once-struggling Tropicana casino is able to weather the anemic gambling market in the US.

The Associated Press reported that Tropicana withstood the cutthroat casino market by pumping more cash back into the property and not just in areas related to gambling. Tropicana has spent at least $40 million for the renovation of its non-gambling amenities, which were completed last Monday.

This $40 million transformation comes just one year after Tropicana’s $50 million dollar renovation in 2015. Steve Callender, general manager of Tropicana, said the management is committed to constantly reinvest in its properties to better compete in an already intense market.
