The Tropicana is scheduled to close April 2 so preparations for a full site demolition can begin, making way for the Oakland Athletics’ planned Las Vegas ballpark.
Bally’s Corp., which owns the Tropicana, will cease operations on the closure date and relocate all bookings beyond April 2, the company announced Monday in a news release. Employees of the Rat Pack-era property were also alerted to the planned closure Monday.
Bally’s Corp. President George Papanier calls the closure and the pending addition of the A’s planned MLB stadium and future resort “the next chapter” for the company.
