In 1993 Vanderburgh County residents passed a referendum allowing riverboat gambling, and construction on the boat. The site where Tropicana and its coinciding district sit currently was once empty. Two years later, in 1995, Aztar Corp. docked the first gaming riverboat in Indiana and opened the casino to the public. In 1996, the Casino Aztar Pavilion and Casino Aztar Hotel opened to the public. Casino Aztar Hotel, now known as Tropicana Hotel, features 243 guest rooms, 11 suites, a 1,660 vehicle-parking garage, meeting, conference and banquet facilities, and a fitness room. The casino took a break from the ongoing improvements until 2005, when construction on The District, the area of nightlife surrounding the casino, began. Along with this construction came Ri Ra Irish Pub, Jillian’s Billiards Club, the Le Merigot Hotel, and Blush Ultralounge. Over the years, new restaurants have been introduced. In 2012, a pedestrian bridge was built to connect The District to the casino.
It was casino aztar at first then Tropicana baught it so it belongs to Tropicana.
I Was told by an employee that casino aztar still owns the property.
Not sure, but I don't think they own the property. I believe it's a long term lease from the city of Evansville. I would definitely double check this info if it important.
Casino Aztar was bought out by Tropicana. Tropicana owns the property from the Tropicana hotel to the old boogie nights and Ri Ras and everything across the street.
