Earlier today it was revealed by the owners of the Tropicana that the resort is set to close April 2nd, ahead of the earlier planned shutdown for the resort hotel and conference centre. The hotel is closing to make way for a $1.5 billion baseball stadium. This unfortunately affects plans for FlightSimExpo which was to be hosted at the Tropicana from June 21-23.
