New Tropicana co-owner and chief executive Alex Yemenidjian is still getting himself and his team acclimated to their new surroundings. 
Yemenidjian, who ran MGM Studios after leaving the gaming industry, plans to transform the Tropicana into a South Beach Miami-themed resort, launching a nearly $100 million plan to renovate the 52-year-old property.
The property's revitalization took its first public step Aug. 6 with the unveiling of a new "Tropicana Las Vegas" logo. He plans to go before county planners later this year with extensive construction plans that include building a new nightclub that will overlook the Strip.
