No Standard Casino Items for Sale
To the disappointment of casino aficionados, the announced ICL listing did not mention any classic casino memorabilia.Β
Even more, the items that are ready for sale will not feature the Tropicana branding. Nonetheless, they are still expected to grab the attention of casino collectors.Β
One particularly interesting item that will be available for sale is the chandelier from the nightclub as well as patio furnishings from what used to be one of the most luxurious pools on The Strip.
Other intriguing items for sale are the 1,100 tables, seats, and private booths that belonged to the Tropicana Theater that hosted personalities like Ann-Margret, the Osmonds, Pearl Bailey, and comedian Jack Benny.
At the end of March, Ballyβs senior vice president and general manager Ameet Patel confirmed the organization of several job fairs to assist workers in their new endeavors.Β
