Icahn files suit over Tropicana Las Vegas name use

Billionaire investor Carl Icahn is suing the Tropicana Las Vegas hotel-casino in hopes of forcing it to pay royalties for using its 52-year-old name.

Icahn-owned Tropicana Entertainment Inc. filed suit last week in U.S. bankruptcy court in Delaware.

Icahn’s company is now separate from the Las Vegas hotel. It says the Las Vegas Strip resort is using the name and other trademarks for free.
