Bally’s aims to open first phase of new Las Vegas resort alongside A’s ballpark
The projects will be built on the site of the former Tropicana Las Vegas.
US.- Bally’s Corporation hopes to open the first phase of its upcoming new resort casino in Las Vegas at the same time as the Athletics’ Las Vegas ballpark in 2028. The projects will be built on the site of the former Tropicana Las Vegas, which was imploded on October 9.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Bally’s Corp chairman Soo Kim said that Bally’s is “working pretty hard” to finalise plans to “at least build phase 1 and open at the same time as the ballpark”. The A’s $1.5bn, 33,000-seat stadium is set to open in the spring of 2028.
The stadium will take up nine of the site’s 35 acres. Bally’s will construct its property on the remaining acreage in three phases.
The 90,000-square-foot casino will feature 1,500 slot machines, 75 table games, a poker room and a 12,000-square-foot sports book area. The hotel towers would be built in three phases, with a total of 3,000 rooms.
