In comments to the Las Vegas Review-Journal published Oct. 22, Bally’s Chairman Soo Kim said the company is “working pretty hard” to finalize plans to “at least build Phase 1” of its new Las Vegas casino “and open at the same time as the ballpark.” The A’s $1.5 billion, 33,000-seat stadium is set to open in the spring of 2028.
Earlier this month, Bally’s, GLPI and the A’s submitted new materials to Clark County officials. But stakeholders have been quick to caution that they were not official renderings. Rather, they were “a representation” of how the site might look fully built out, according to Kim.
Plans submitted to the county call for 90,000 square feet of gaming space with 1,500 slots, 75 tables, a sportsbook and a poker room. Hotel towers would be built out in three phases, comprising 3,000 total rooms. That would be about twice the number of the former Tropicana.
“When you talk about Phase 1, that is a casino and some level of restaurants, F&B (food and beverage) and a hotel tower. At least some level,” he said. “Then over time there will be more guest amenities and more rooms.”
