Tropicana Las Vegas could be demolished in early October
Bally’s has filed a explosive use permit application.
US.- What’s left of the Tropicana Las Vegas, owned by Bally’s Corporation, could be imploded in early October to make way for the construction of the Oakland Athletics ballpark. According to Clark County records obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, an explosive use permit application filed on July 11 states a planned move in date of September 30 and a move out date of October 8.
That suggests the implosion would occur in those nine days, although it could change as Bally’s still needs to submit its implosion plan. The resort closed on April 2 after almost seven decades.
