Tropicana Casinos & Resorts is a privately held corporation that owns, along with its affiliates, and operates 10 casinos and resorts in the United States. The company has acquired gaming assets in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Nevada, capped off by the 2007 purchase of Aztar Corp. and its widely known Tropicana brand name with gaming properties in Indiana, Nevada and New Jersey.

With the acquisition of Aztar, Tropicana has become one of the largest privately owned gaming companies in the world with more than 8,200 rooms, 14,000 slot positions and 400 table games.

Through an affiliated entity, the company’s newest casino is located in St. Maartin, Netherlands Antilles. The Westin Dawn Beach Resort & Spa opened in December 2006 and features 308 luxury rooms, a variety of casual and upscale dining facilities, a Las Vegas–style casino, a luxurious spa and the largest freshwater infinity edge pool on the island.

Over the next several years, Tropicana plans to make substantial investments in property improvements and venue upgrades to support its gaming and resort business.
