Tropicana will keep some of its business licenses active while construction and development of a Major League Baseball stadium and hotel-casino takes place on its former site following a county vote.
Clark County officials unanimously approved a request from representatives of the now-closed 67-year-old resort on the Strip that waived licensing requirements for up to two years, with possibilities for two six-month extensions should the site operators show good cause to business licensing department staff.
“We’ve all been watching and reading, and a couple of us have actually been in discussions with the Tropicana and the A’s. We’re aware of the things that are happening,” Commissioner Jim Gibson said during the Tuesday morning meeting.
