STORYLINE:
After the Tropicana and Mirage closed this year on the Las Vegas Strip, a different kind of spectacle unfolded behind the closed casino doors.
Millions of items that once filled the casinos were meticulously sorted, sold, donated or tossed.
It’s a process that can take months, especially if the casino is destined for demolition.
Artifacts pulled from the Tropicana before it was imploded on Oct. 9 included crystal chandeliers that once lit its swanky lounge and vintage showgirl feathers from the casino’s famous topless show.
