The remains of the Tropicana are tentatively set to be imploded in early October to make way for the planned Oakland Athletics MLB ballpark to be built on a portion of the site, according to Clark County records.
An explosive use permit application filed for on July 11 by Tropicana owner Bally’s Corp. names the event, the implosion of the Tropicana and Paradise towers, with a planned move in date of Sept. 30 and a move out date of Oct. 8. That suggests the implosion could occur between those nine days.
With Bally’s Corp. still needing to submit its implosion plan, the time frame could change, pending permitting and planning approvals by the county.
