Devil Decoration inside the Tropicana Hotel in Atlantic City, Aug. 2006
Tropicana Casino Resort is a casino and hotel located at Brighton Avenue and the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey. It is owned and operated by Aztar Corporation. It is the largest hotel in New Jersey, featuring 2,125 rooms and is attached to a 148,000 square foot (14,000 m²) casino.
It was built on the former site of the Ambassador Hotel. Originally executives at parent company Ramada Inns, Inc. wanted to gut out the entire former Ambassdor and build the new Tropicana in the existing building but their plans were denied by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission and Governor Brendan Byrne, both of whom grew tired of the casino operators doing "patch and paint" jobs. Ramada was ordered to demolish the old building and start from the ground up.
The Tropicana Casino Resort officially opened on November 23, 1981 and a unique indoor amusement area called Trivoli Pier was built shortly after the Tropicana opened and within a year the name of the resort was changed to TropWorld Casino and Entertainment Resort. In 1995 Trivoli Pier was closed to make way for a new poker, keno and horse racing simulcast area and the name was reverted back to the old Tropicana name.
On October 30, 2003 a parking garage being built as part of the new The Quarter project collapsed killing 4 people and seriously injuring 20 people, all of whom were construction workers. No civilians were injured or killed.
