While many in Las Vegas are thrilled with the prospect of Major League Baseball arriving here by opening day of the 2028 season — even MGM Resorts International is talking about making the MGM Grand more welcoming to baseball fans — it seems one of the key entities in the process is in a holding pattern of its own making.
Bally’s Corp., based in Providence, Rhode Island, operates the Tropicana casino. Bally’s gave an update on the planned new baseball stadium for the Oakland A’s in a second-quarter earnings call with investors last week.
Because Bally’s doesn’t own the Tropicana land — it leases the property from real estate investment trust Gaming & Leisure Properties Inc. — the entire process of getting the A’s to Las Vegas is in multiple hands.
