Tropicana officials will ask Clark County officials to keep its gaming license active for at least two years in an upcoming public meeting while the site is developed as a Major League Baseball stadium and hotel-casino.
Management of the now-closed 67-year-old resort on the Strip will request the Board of Commissioners, acting in its capacity as the county’s Liquor and Gaming Licensing Board, waive a licensing requirement during its Tuesday meeting that would suspend the site’s gaming license because of the closure.
The closure application states the demolition and site clearing must be done by April 1, 2025 so the Oakland Athletics can begin construction on its planned $1.5 billion, 33,000-seat ballpark. It asks for up to three years — two years as the maximum described, plus extensions — to clear the site and develop the stadium.
