March 20, 2014
Rendering of the new, proposed retail location.
Tropicana Entertainment Inc. recently announced a proposed series of significant renovation projects at Tropicana Casino & Resort Atlantic City. The multimillion-dollar capital improvements include major renovations to Tropicana AC’s boardwalk façade, the addition of retail areas, a new fitness center on Brighton Avenue and guest room renovations. Commencement of the projects is contingent upon receipt of various state and local permits and approvals. If approved, construction is anticipated to begin in 2014 with an expected completion date by late 2015.
The proposal includes the complete renovation of the casino’s boardwalk façade, which will boast a fully choreographed high-energy interactive light and sound show via 20-foot high light bollards and nine LED screens. The light show would run nightly at timed intervals. In addition to building three new retail shops on the boardwalk, Fin’s dining room would be extended to provide panoramic views of the beach and boardwalk from within the restaurant.
Plans also call for a new state-of-the-art, two-story fitness club, located on Brighton Avenue adjacent to Blue Mercury Spa. Also included in the proposal is the renovation of Tropicana AC’s 434 North Tower hotel rooms including new lighting and expansive bathrooms.
