"Tropicana Resort in Las Vegas to Close for New Ballpark Construction"

The iconic Tropicana resort in Las Vegas, which opened in 1957 and hosted famous acts like the Folies Bergère cabaret and magicians Siegfried and Roy, will close its doors on Tuesday to make way for a new Major League Baseball stadium for the Oakland A's. The resort, purchased by Bally's Corp in 2022, will be demolished in October, and the A's are set to move to Las Vegas in 2028, becoming the state's first major league team. The $1.5 billion, 33,000-seat stadium will be built on the Tropicana site, with a design featuring enormous white sails inspired by traditional baseball pennants.
