Bally’s Corporation has officially unveiled its bold vision for the future of its Las Vegas property—a stunning, next-generation integrated resort set to rise on the former site of the Tropicana. This is more than a hotel-casino; it is a 35-acre landmark destination designed to be a premier hub for sports, entertainment, and luxury hospitality on a global scale.
The Sports and Entertainment Powerhouse
The most striking element of the Bally’s Las Vegas plan is its strategic integration with the new Las Vegas Athletics Major League Baseball (MLB) ballpark. The resort and the stadium will share a massive campus, creating an entertainment district that capitalizes on event-driven tourism.
The project, which has been submitted for entitlements to Clark County, is slated to begin development in the first half of 2026. Bally’s Las Vegas aims to be a complete destination, featuring:
- Dual Luxury Hotel Towers: Offering a combined total of 3,000 rooms designed for ultimate comfort and luxury.
- State-of-the-Art Entertainment Venue: A 2,500-seat theater planned to host world-class shows, concerts, and events.
- Retail and Dining Mecca: Over 500,000 square feet dedicated to curated retail, dining, and entertainment experiences, featuring a mix of global brands and local favorites.
- Integrated Casino and VIP Experience: A modern casino floor and a specialized VIP area with direct access to the ballpark, seamlessly blending the thrill of sports with the energy of the Strip.
Redefining the Heart of the Strip
Chairman of the Board of Directors, Soo Kim, emphasized the magnitude of the project, stating, “Bally’s Las Vegas represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to redefine the heart of the Strip… We are creating a landmark destination that unites sports, entertainment, dining and hospitality on a scale only Las Vegas can deliver.”
This vision clearly targets the modern Las Vegas visitor, who increasingly seeks diverse, non-gaming entertainment experiences. By creating a dedicated sports and entertainment district, Bally’s is positioning itself as the ultimate destination for international travelers and regional baseball fans alike.
Built by World-Class Partners
To bring this ambitious project to life, Bally’s Corporation has partnered with industry leaders:
- Marnell Architecture: Named the architect of record, bringing a deep legacy of iconic Las Vegas designs (including Bellagio and Wynn Las Vegas) to the project.
- JLL: The real estate and investment management giant will manage the crucial retail and dining sourcing, ensuring the complex offers an unparalleled selection.
The demolition of the former Tropicana Las Vegas has cleared the way for this groundbreaking venture. With construction expected to commence in the first half of 2026, the countdown has officially begun for a development that promises to reshape the Las Vegas skyline and solidify its position as the ultimate stage for large-scale global tourism.
