Tropicana Casino Resort is a casino and hotel located at Brighton Avenue and the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey. It is owned and operated by Aztar Corporation. It is the largest hotel in New Jersey, featuring 2,125 rooms and is attached to a 148,000 square foot (14,000 m²) casino. It was built on the former site of the Ambassador Hotel. Originally executives at parent company Ramada Inns, Inc. wanted to gut out the entire former Ambassdor and build the new Tropicana in the existing building but their plans were denied by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission and Governor Brendan Byrne, both of whom grew tired of the casino operators doing "patch and paint" jobs. Ramada was ordered to demolish the old building and start from the ground up. The Tropicana Casino Resort officially opened on November 23, 1981 and a unique indoor amusement area called Trivoli Pier was built shortly after the Tropicana opened and within a year the name of the resort was changed to TropWorld Casino and Entertainment Resort. In 1995 Trivoli Pier was closed to make way for a new poker, keno and horse racing simulcast area and the name was reverted back to the old Tropicana name. On October 30, 2003 a parking garage being built as part of the new The Quarter project collapsed killing 4 people and seriously injuring 20 people, all of whom were construction workers. No civilians were injured or killed. Text from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropicana_Casino_Resort_Atlantic_City

The Oriental Pavilion -- originally called the Concert Grove Pavilion -- was built by Calvert Vaux in 1874. Situated in the Concert Grove, the Oriental Pavilion is an open shelter that consists of eight cast-iron columns supporting a decorative wooden roof with a beautiful stained-glass skylight. Typical of the day, its design borrowed motifs from Hindu, Chinese, Moorish, and Egyptian architecture. The Oriental Pavilion served as a gathering place for the adjacent restaurant called the Concert Grove House (destroyed in 1949 by Robert Moses.) In 1974 the Oriental Pavilion was devastated by fire, leaving nothing but the cast-iron columns. It was restored in the 1980s. Text from: www.prospectpark.org/hist/archives/buildings/oriental_pav...

Bucrania ceiling painting from the palace of Amenthotep III Dynasty 18, ca. 1390-1353 BC From Thebes, Malkata, MMA Excavations Painted mud plaster Accession # 11.215.451 The important buildings in the palace complex of Amenhotep III at Malkata were embellished with floor, wall, and ceiling paintings. This partially restored section of a ceiling painting was discovered lying face up in a room adjacent to the king's bedchamber. The motif consists of a repeating pattern of rosette-filled running spirals alterning with bucrania (ox skulls). Similar ceiling patterns, both painted and modeled in plaster, have been excavated at Aegean sites of a slightly earlier period. Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
