The archive
Closed & transformed casino hotels
Every entry in this archive follows the same standard: confirmed opening and closing dates, an official reason for closure where one exists, and a clear account of what happened to the property afterward. This archive is growing — three properties are documented in full so far.
Demolished
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Tropicana Las Vegas
One of the oldest resorts on the Strip, open since 1957. Closed in 2024 and demolished the same year to clear the site for a ballpark and a new resort development.
Closed
Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA
Atlantic Club Casino Hotel
Opened in 1972 as Atlantic City's first casino under a different name. Closed in 2014 amid regional competition and a contracting local gaming market.
