GGB Podcast: Soo Kim, Chairman, Bally’s Corp.

This week the GGB Podcast is joined by Soo Kim (l.), the chairman of Bally’s Corporation, on the company’s plans for the former Tropicana site in Las Vegas and the process toward the building of a permanent casino in Chicago.

Soo Kim has his hands full. As chairman of Bally’s Corporation, he’s leading a company that has been on the front pages of gaming news for the last couple of years. As the operator of the former Tropicana in Las Vegas, Kim is preparing to build a new resort on that land, minus the nine acres dedicated to a baseball stadium for baseball’s Las Vegas A’s. He’s also grappling with running a temporary casino in Chicago, where Bally’s will be the only casino inside the city limits, as well as designing and building a permanent facility. And finally, he’s also preparing a bid for one of the three casino licenses in the New York City area, where Bally’s bought the former Trump Golf Course in the Bronx. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros during the East Coast Gaming Congress at the Hard Rock Atlantic City in April.
