Little Havana
With rumba dancers, hand-rolled cigars, minty mojitos and a Boardwalk parade, Tropicana Casino Hotel last month debuted its colorful new gaming space, Havana Rooftop Slots. The 3,000 square-foot section located high above the casino floor has been transformed into a bit of old Havana with all the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of the historic Cuban capital. The adjoining Rumba Lounge features a panoramic view of the floor below.
At the ribbon cutting May 15, Mac Seelig of AC Coin & Slot, which designed the area, called the new venue “a nightclub for slots” with music “like a Latin symphony.” Completing the experience: Cuban-themed murals and artifacts, exclusive Havana Gold progressive-link slots custom-made for the Tropicana, festive lighting and palm trees, and an authentic Cuban menu. The new venue “symbolizes the new Tropicana” and expands the Quarter’s Old Havana vibe throughout the casino, says Trop President Mark Giannantonio.
