The south starts at Harmon Avenue with Aria and down to Mandalay Bay. Our central section runs between Mirage and Harrah’s to the north and Cosmopolitan and Planet Hollywood to the south. The north end of the Las Vegas Strip starts at Wynn and ends at The Strat.
Caesars Entertainment and MGM Resorts operate more than half of the casinos on the Las Vegas Strip. The others are independent casinos or affiliated with smaller casino companies.

Closed Las Vegas Strip Casinos

A guitar-shaped hotel will replace the volcano. Our Mirage review includes more details about the property’s past as Mirage.
Tropicana
Tropicana was the only casino on the south end of the Las Vegas Strip that was not owned by MGM Resorts. Bally’s was the operator. Tropicana offered a good value when considering its location. Players found $25 3/2 double-deck blackjack and $10 table games. The $1 bar top video poker was the best at that denomination on the Las Vegas Strip.
Tropicana closed on April 2, 2024. The future of the property is unknown. A baseball stadium has been proposed on nine acres of the parcel. However, there has been no movement in those proposals beyond unserious renderings. It appears there is not enough financing for the project.
