The Tropicana hotel and casino is a prime example of why the Nevada city has gathered its fame despite its murky links to the mob and legal issues for its owners. It was the city's most expensive property when it first opened in 1957, and it quickly became the epitome of Hollywood glamour. It was synonymous with glitz and glamor for decades; it regularly hosted A-list celebrities in its showroom and was the hotel that James Bond favored in the famous 1971 film Diamonds Are Forever.

This week, the Tropicana casino and hotel's rich history has come back to the forefront of many people's thoughts, as it prepares to close for the final time.
