Employees at the Tropicana received mixed messages Tuesday about when the property may temporarily close as the Oakland Athletics’ Las Vegas ballpark plan continues to take shape.
An FAQ from the Tropicana owner, Bally’s Corp., released Monday told workers that if the A’s are successful in their pursuit of $395 million in public funds from the Legislature, the property would temporarily shutter in 18 to 24 months.
But in an “Updated FAQ” document shared Tuesday, the company softened much of its statements. It said the company intends to keep the property open “as long as practicable,” and that if there is a closure, employees will have other opportunities in the Bally’s portfolio.
