Last Night Of The Tropicana: April 1 at 9pm - Chill’m Bar

I never took this invite to mean a big slumber party even in different rooms at Trop. Did you?! lol

Just figured normal get together at Trop for eating, drinking, and/or gambling?

 

It could be fun especially if they give out all the un hit progressives as free play
I'm not sure what happens to them with a complete shut down but I have a sneaky suspicion the state will have its hand out

 

Yes, although obviously anyone who also stays the night is the coolest. Listen, I don’t make the rules

 

This is a most worthy endeavor, but, alas, we can't get to Vegas until the third week of May. We have, however, walked through the last few trips to have a drink and celebrate some great memories there. Cheers!

 

I would love to be there, but unfortunately I have some prior commitments plus I’ll be there on 4–4 so that puts me out. I am going to be there on 3–2 to 3–3 for my last stay at the Trop. Funny the nostalgia thing is is real. I’m leaving a decent suite at the Aria to stay on a lower level, basic trop room. But got to do it. I want to play some craps underneath the stain glass.

 

Any info on if an actual meet up is going to happen? Like a slot pull or something

 

Count me in if a slot pull or meet n greet happens.
I just noticed that the banner ad at the bottom of my screen is for the Tropicana, the irony.

 

@Jack O. Better if you can get a slot pull/meet and greet plan started, you will get a lot of interest like the member above mentioned.

Jack, you need to decide on a time and where in the tropicana we want to meet and if slot pull, the buy in amount and the rules you would like on April 1st. I like doing slot pulls where whatever we win at the end we split to at least get something back if we do not break even. Also whatever little we do win, I think I may want to throw it in a slot of my choice before they close down for good.

I think evening is a good time, like after work hours so locals who are members here can join us if they like. I know I will not be available til evening. 8pm might be a good time, this way its getting closer to closing time. 6pm or later I am good with. Gotta check out of gold coast in the afternoon and then check in downtown at the D and want to relax before hopping back on bus to go to tropicana.

Also another idea to bring up is a member volunteering to get a tropicana chip for each of us who wants to get one and I believe tables are the only way. Not sure if you can walk up to a dealer and give 5 bucks for a 5 dollar chip and walk away without playing. I think I heard they have 5 dollar chips left minimum (no more dollar ones), so whoever wants one can give volunteer 5 bucks to get one. I know some of you play tables.

 

I'm sure they'll be doing lots of that during the final days, probably going to be encouraged by management as they will be chips that never get cashed in. (Perhaps throw in a tip too).

 

I absolutely did this last week. I bought a $25 dollar chip from a dealer for a friend who used to stay at the Tropicana and gave the dealer a $5 tip. I will give the chip to my friend for his birthday.

 

It’s a little odd he hasn’t replied. I’ll text him. Cuz I had also planned for this meetup!

 

I see on the Twitter that 'Vital Vegas' the well known rumour monger was saying that Tropicana has run out of $1 chips already at the hands of souvenir hunters (plus limited table game hours due to staff leaving).

 

Or you could just pick a solid time for a meet. If it works, it works and others will rsvp. If @Jack O. Better is not able to do this now and you really want this to happen, seems like to easiest thing to do. Like you said, the interest is there.

 

@Jack O. Better , This is a great idea and can be a lot of fun!! Sadly I will be on a cruise and unable to do it. My wife and I did this exact thing when they were closing the Riviera and booked a suite on their final night. The bar ran out of a few different beer brands and we started drinking whatever was left. Fun times.

 

Has anyone heard from JoB? The last time we texted was March 16. I texted him yesterday morning to follow up about this meetup. Then I texted this morning. Both show as unread.

I know he works weird long shifts, but this isn’t like him so I’m legit starting to get concerned.

 

no I haven’t heard from job

 

Hey, I actually didn't get those texts? And I've just not been posting for a few because I'm super busy outside of the forum..

@SoCalMon - sounds like you may be the best person to organize a slot pull, if you want one, as you're certainly more into the idea than I am! Also, I am going to be busy as shit between now and when I set out for this trip and can't promise to be able to organize much further than the (deliberately) quite vague nature of my original post on this thread. If you wanna get a slot pull together, feel free! I'm not the only one driving this train. I just happened to be the one to make the post about it

 

Oh, and a change in my plans for anyone to whom it matters: I am no longer staying the last night at the Trop. It seems like the 'real' shutdown is going to happen the night before and all that I'd do by staying overnight is inconvenience the remaining staff for a fee of, including taxes, almost four hundred dollars. I'm just going to remain in my comp room elsewhere and travel to and from the Trop for its final blaze of glory.

 

Heyo. Got your text and responded, but I think you’re still not receiving my texts lol. Will
Inbox you here

 

Regarding text message issue - I'm on AT&T and I have seen some messages not go through recently
I'd get an alert later saying that the message was not delivered ... But it doesn't really give me an indication when I open the text message so I can't keep track of what was and wasn't delivered
It could be that the RCS protocol messages are not going through? Will have to look into it
