MAILCOM Returns To Tropicana, A City Unto Itself

Posted on October 25, 2018 by mailomg in Trop, Uncategorized // 0 Comments

There are few convention properties that can claim to be cities unto themselves.

Opryland in Nashville, TN comes to mind. Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim is another.

But in the east, such resort hotels are few.

And none as great as the Tropicana Resort in Atlantic City.

MAILCOM announced its 2019 conference will be held there, the first time back in Atlantic City in five years. MAILCOM was held continuously in the city from 1991 to 2010.

The Trop features more than extensive conference facilities and the Grand Exhibition Center. It also houses a staggering number of quality restaurants, numerous spas and pools, escape rooms, IMAX theater, retail stores, food markets, multimedia light shows, clubs, and famous casino.

A city runs on food and drink, and the Trop offers everything including:

Fine dining …

Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar
Golden Dynasty
il Verdi
Palm Restaurant

Casual Dining …

A Dam Good Sports Bar
Bar Olón
Broadway Burger Bar
Carmine’s
Casa Taco & Tequila Bar
Chelsea Five Gastropub
Chickie’s And Pete’s
Fiesta Buffet
Gilchrist Restaurant
Hooters Atlantic City
La Petite Creperie
Marketplace Express
Okatshe
Perry’s Pizza
PF Chang’s
Ri Ra Irish Pub
Seaside Cafe
Tony Luke’s

A resort city also needs a townsquare, and The Quarter provides that and more. Back in the day, the original Tropicana was a Old Havana casino. The Quarter recreates Old Havana with amazing world-class dining options, entertainment and nightlife venues, retail shops, and a luxury spa.

The Trop features over 30 retail stores and markets including one of the only Old Farmers Almanac General Stores. It offers several spas, a two-story fitness center, business center, and more.

MAILCOM ’19 will be held in the Tropicana April 8-10, 2019.
