Those at the Tropicana were in a wait-and-see mode as the legislative session played out. Now with the public financing deal set, that planning will get underway, according to Soo Kim, Bally’s Corp. chairman.

“Now that this is going to happen, we really need to put some pen to paper and start planing out how the months go,” Kim told the Review-Journal. “We still need to talk to the A’s and make sure we’re coordinating on timing. We don’t have specific times yet.”
