project will include 3,000 hotel rooms with the Las Vegas Athletics’ baseball
stadium as part of the 35-acre complex.
LAS VEGAS —
Providence, Rhode Island-based Bally’s Corp. has unveiled plans for Bally’s Las
Vegas, a new entertainment resort destination on the Las Vegas Strip, at the
former site of Tropicana Las Vegas.
The project
will share a 35-acre campus with the new Las Vegas Athletics Major League
Baseball ballpark and include two hotel towers totaling 3,000 rooms. The
project is being submitted for entitlements to Clark County and is expected to
commence development in the first half of 2026. The integrated resort and stadium complex is expected to cost $1.5 billion.
Working in
collaboration with JLL, Bally’s Las Vegas will also feature an entertainment
venue with a seating capacity of 2,500 and over 500,000 sq. ft. of retail,
dining, and entertainment offerings. The resort will also include a casino and
a VIP experience with direct access to the ballpark.
“Bally’s Las
Vegas represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to redefine the heart of
the Strip,” Soo Kim, chairman of the board of directors, Bally’s, said in a
news release. “With world-class partners like JLL and Marnell, and with the
arrival of Major League Baseball, we are not just building an integrated
resort. We are creating a landmark destination that unites sports,
entertainment, dining and hospitality on a scale only Las Vegas can deliver.”
Envisioned
as a hub for international travelers and regional baseball fans, Bally’s Las
Vegas will showcase a curated mix of dining concepts, flagship retail and
immersive experiences. The project aims to meet the growing demand for
integrated entertainment while positioning Las Vegas as the ultimate stage for
professional baseball and large-scale global tourism.
“Las Vegas
is one of the most important markets for food and beverage, entertainment and
retail in the US,” Michael Hirschfeld, vice chairman of JLL, said in the
release. “The extended hours of operation in the market yield some of the
highest sales per unit in the country.”
The Tropicana
Las Vegas was the third-oldest on the strip and closed on April 2, 2024. It
was demolished in October 2024 to make way for a 30,000-seat baseball stadium
where the former Oakland Athletics will play. Bally’s Corp. acquired the
Tropicana for $308 million in 2021.
