The canopy was one of the more memorable things about the old Trop. I could be wrong, but I think I remember them having acrobats or trapeze artists up there long ago.
Last time we went to the Trop was to see Rich Little at the comedy club–and that was a long time ago. Before that was to catch the Folies show in its last month before closing.
Cheers.
The stained glass is unchanged. When the Tropicana changed hands about 10 years ago, the new owners brought in former MGM executive Alex Yemenidjian as president. He oversaw a remodel with a more tropical theme, which was very heavy on white and orange. They put orange lighting, backdrop, or some combination of both, IIRC, on the stained glass, and that is why it looks different.
