The Las Vegas baseball stadium is set to be impressive, and the surrounding land will be transformed into a massive entertainment complex.
Bally’s Corp. has finally revealed detailed plans for its portion of the 35-acre site that will include the Las Vegas stadium, home to the Athletics MLB team.
The company intends to develop a resort, casino, and entertainment district alongside the ballpark, with construction set to begin in 2026 and the first phase opening in time for the A’s inaugural 2028 Las Vegas season.
The development will occupy 26 of the 35 acres formerly home to the Tropicana, with the remaining 9 acres dedicated to the Athletics’ $2 billion, 33,000-capacity stadium. The Tropicana was imploded a year ago to make room for this project.
This is happening as Bally’s works on another major project in another big city—the construction of a casino in downtown Chicago.
What is Bally’s Building Near the Las Vegas Baseball Stadium?
The complex will be built above street level.
The main activity area, called the podium, can be reached by escalators, stairs, and elevators from the ground. There will also be walkways connecting it to the Excalibur and MGM Grand hotels. This area will have a large plaza that leads fans to the main entrances of the stadium. Some buildings will be constructed on parts of the plaza.
Bally’s plans to build two hotel towers totaling 3,000 rooms, a casino with over 100,000 square feet of gaming space, and an entertainment-focused podium accessible by escalators, elevators, and walkways from neighboring hotels.
The project includes 500,000 square feet of retail, dining, and entertainment space, a 2,500-seat theater, multiple sports bars, a major rooftop pool area, and the plaza linking the ballpark with the rest of the complex.
