Bally's Says New Vegas Casino Resort Was Never Meant to Open Alongside A's Stadium in 2028
Las Vegas is a city in Clark County, Nevada. Bally's executives told Nevada gaming regulators Thursday that the company never planned to open a new Strip casino-resort by April 2028, pushing back on assumptions that its two luxury hotel towers would debut alongside the Oakland Athletics' $2 billion ballpark on the former Tropicana site.
The clarification came during a Nevada Gaming Commission licensing hearing, following reports that Bally's construction was "lagging" and complicating the A's Las Vegas ballpark plans. Attorney Dan Reaser, representing Bally's, said the public timeline was wrong: "The April 2028 timeline is for the stadium to open and for the baseball season to proceed — for the retail district, parking garage, utilities, and plaza, but not the towers that come at a later date."
The Tropicana was demolished and imploded in 2024 to clear the way. Bally's land-use applications remain pending with Clark County and the company is still awaiting FAA height clearances for its two planned hotel towers.
