I stayed at the Marina. I can remember walking across the street to the Tropicana. At that time the Trip with the stained glass ceiling seemed like one of the more elegant casinos in Vegas. I know they've remodeled the Trop, but it will never be what it was.
The sign is also evidence of what I was talking about. Most of the hotels had signs advertising prime rib and other specials.
