"Tropicana Las Vegas to Close for New MLB Stadium"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by NBC News
The Tropicana Las Vegas, a historic hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip, will close in April to make way for a $1.5 billion MLB stadium for the relocating Oakland Athletics. Bally's Corp announced the closure, marking the beginning of preparations for demolition. The 30,000-seat ballpark, backed by public funding, is expected to open in 2028. The closure comes after the Tropicana reached a new five-year contract with the Culinary Workers Union, providing a severance package for its largely senior workforce.
