Tropicana is closing its doors today, but a few interesting stories came out about its final days. From slots being closed early to the entire property being blocked off, Bally's definitely just wanted the doors to shut. We also learned about the liquidation firesale where you could own a piece of Trop and how long term employees are getting compensated.

In other news Harrah's is readying their brand new valet entrance and it is an upgrade. We also discuss what it is like to accept every Vegas upcharge, the Top Gun Experience, some big jackpots that were hit recently, whether cashless gaming is evil, how the Aviators beats the A's again and why it is still so season in Las Vegas.
