Construction for "Boogie Nights" begins!

Two major building projects began today: Boogie Nights at the Tropicana, and a four-part, reality-based Curtain Call television series on the making of the new nightclub. With video and interviews, we'll track the progress of the '70s- and '80s-theme dance club build-out as we sit on meetings and strategy sessions related to the marketing and entertainment components of the club. We'll be there when Boogie Nights begins auditions for the staff of entertainers who'll give the club its personality. We'll even install a time-lapse camera to capture the transformation. From that material, we'll create four special editions of Curtain Call that'll air on NBC40 on dates to be determined. Three shows will air during the run-up to the opening, and the fourth will cover the celebrity-packed opening of the club in either late April or early May. We'll also do a series of webisodes for the Trop's social media web sites. We were there today to chat with Trop president and CEO Tony Rodio and Boogie Nights creator Dave Pena as the casino decommissioned the former Penny Pavilion slot area and began removing the machines to make way for the 8,000-square-foot club.
