Aaron Berger, the executive director at the Neon Museum, said operators of the Rat Pack-era property have hired specialists to remove the stained glass installation formerly above the casino’s pit. The pieces are being put into storage to “determine (their) next best use,” he said.
“The Neon Museum is very concerned with the preservation of that atrium,” Berger said Tuesday. “It’s an iconic installation that’s not only beautiful but also incredibly functional and speaks to the history of how gaming was conducted back when the Tropicana was built.”
