Las Vegas – Bally’s Corporation has announced plans for a new luxury “integrated” resort on the iconic Las Vegas Strip. This development will occupy the site of the former Tropicana Las Vegas and is part of a larger 35-acre campus that will also become home to the Las Vegas Athletics Major League Baseball ballpark.
The ambitious project will feature two luxury hotel towers offering a total of 3,000 rooms. Bally’s intends to create a 2,500-seat entertainment venue alongside more than 500,000 square feet dedicated to retail, dining, and entertainment options. Development for the resort is slated to begin in the first half of 2026, with certain venues expected to open ahead of the completion of the ballpark, which is projected for 2028.
Fans attending games at the new stadium will benefit from direct access between the resort and the baseball venue, enhancing their overall experience. Plans include a multi-level sports bar with a rooftop pool, located at the northwest corner of the site, catering to both hotel guests and sports enthusiasts. Additionally, a large cylindrical LED sign is set to be installed at the busy intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard South and Tropicana Avenue, seeking to maximize visibility for the resort and ballpark.
The development aims to establish a vibrant hub for international tourists and baseball fans alike, combining sports and entertainment in a cohesive environment. To curate the retail and dining experiences, Bally’s is partnering with JLL, a commercial real estate firm. The offerings will feature both global brands and local favorites, enhancing the appeal of the new destination.
Bally’s chairman highlighted the significance of non-gaming revenue in Las Vegas, which constitutes approximately 75% of the city’s overall revenue. The Las Vegas Athletics, meanwhile, are progressing with plans for their new ballpark, having applied for two building permits amounting to $523 million for construction. These are in addition to previously submitted permits valued at around $901.8 million.
The $2 billion stadium project is designed to accommodate 33,000 fans and will be equipped with a non-retractable roof. The Athletics are utilizing $350 million in public financing authorized by Senate Bill 1, as well as loans from U.S. Bank and Goldman Sachs, to finance the construction. As work continues, the Clark County authorities are actively reviewing ongoing permit approvals for the ballpark’s construction.
This extensive project concept is reminiscent of other successful dining and entertainment districts near major league stadiums, such as The Battery near the Atlanta Braves’ stadium. The Athletics are also exploring unique concepts like a wedding chapel to be situated within the new ballpark, further enhancing the fan experience.
Bally’s is also involved in several other significant gaming and development initiatives, including a new casino resort project in Chicago and potential future developments in the New York City area. This diversification strategy indicates Bally’s commitment to expanding its footprint and improving its offerings across multiple markets.
Overall, the development of an integrated resort in proximity to a major league baseball park signifies a forward-thinking approach to revitalizing the area, creating an engaging environment for both visitors and locals. As both projects progress, Las Vegas is poised to enjoy a transformation that merges luxury accommodation with top-tier sports entertainment.
