The Tropicana implosion finally happened. Now, attention has turned to the building of the new Bally’s Las Vegas and the baseball stadium it will share a lot with. Bally’s just revealed their ‘master plans’ for the property which show three hotel towers being built at the same time as the new stadium. And while the name of the new resort has not been officially announced, what else could it be but Bally’s?
Let’s remember that way it was back in October of 2020 Caesars Entertainment sold the Bally’s name to Bally Corp for $20 million. This was before anyone knew of Caesars plans to rebrand the property to the Horseshoe, and well before there was any talk of the Tropicana being leveled for a new stadium, yet here we are just four years later. So why would they shell out that sort of money if they did not plan to use the name?
The centerpiece of new Bally’s Las Vegas will be the baseball stadium surrounded by luxury hotels and a large casino. Bally’s has also proposed a striking 250-foot video tower, enhancing the high-tech appeal of the development. Bally’s intends to execute the project in three phases, starting with a casino and a hotel, both scheduled to open with the stadium in 2028. The initial phase includes a hotel tower, casino, sportsbook, restaurants, pools, and a parking garage, with 2,500 of the planned 4,590 parking spaces reserved for stadium guests.
A spokesperson for the company stated that the design is still evolving as the project moves forward, and that subsequent phases will introduce additional hotel towers, retail spaces, convention areas, and various amenities. The second phase will add another hotel tower, retail outlets, and an expanded pool deck, while the third phase will feature yet another tower, increasing the total number of rooms across the entire project to 3,000.
Company Chairman Soo Kim acknowledged that Phase 1 of the new Bally’s Las Vegas will include the casino and hotel towers, but more specific plans for guest amenities and additional rooms are still being finalized. “I think we’re working pretty hard to come up with a plan that will allow us to at least build Phase 1 and open at the same time as the ballpark,” he told a local newspaper. Construction is set to begin early next year.
