Tropicana Las Vegas closes its poker room
The Tropicana Las Vegas closed its Gold Room poker room on Tuesday, just seven months after the casino opened the room named for World Series of Poker 2006 winner Jamie Gold.
"As part of our continuing transformation of Tropicana Las Vegas, we have decided to close our poker room in order to move forward with our construction plans for that section of our property," the casino said in a statement. "The hard work by our outstanding team members in the poker room has not gone unnoticed and we are currently seeking alternative opportunities for them at Tropicana Las Vegas."
The casino didn't know if there were any layoffs associated with the closure or what would replace the card room.
The casino's poker room is adjacent to the Cantor Gaming race and sports book.
