Is This The New, New Tropicana?

We've seen many visions for the future of the Alex Yemenidjian-era Tropicana, the Phase III entertainment deck and the The Strip, but this new one (full size via Paul Steelman & Associates website) is...

Tropicana Steelman Version

... whoa! Crazy lines and swoops, squares and curves... sleek and modern. Kinda like this:

M Resort Architect Anthony Marnell

Double whoa (triple, given this.) Did Steelman have his team whip up a modern "M Resort" inspired version of the Tropicana ("The Marnellicana") and drop it on their website as a juicy appetizer for Penn National?

Big thanks to VT superfriend SteveCovington for pegging this in the comments of the Marnell post.

I'd love to see design elements from M's casino floor make it over to the Trop. While the Trop's casino floor a big improvement over what was there prior, the lack of energy and vibrancy in the casino is really apparent. There are a lot of design elements at M that would translate over into a modern, tropical environment.

That's exactly the kind of attention-grabber the Strip at Tropicana needs. I'd love to see it happen.

I have gone from avoiding the Trop to staying there and loving it but never had any interest in eating there. I love the new look but if this is the route they are going then count me in because it's inspiring.

That looks pretty amazing. I'm in.
