Tropicana Las Vegas to Close for New Oakland Athletics Stadium

Landmark Casino's Closure Marks End of an Era, Paves Way for $1.5 Billion MLB Ballpark

The Tropicana Las Vegas, a landmark hotel and casino, is set to close on April 2, 2024, to make way for a $1.5 billion Major League Baseball stadium for the Oakland Athletics.
The planned stadium, backed by $380 million in public funding, will have a retractable roof and a seating capacity of 33,000. It is expected to open in 2028.
The Tropicana, which opened in 1957, was once a prominent entertainment venue, hosting numerous acts and contributing significantly to Las Vegas's live performance scene. Its closure has sparked concerns among the city's entertainers.
Approximately 500 workers, most of whom are part of the Culinary Union, face an uncertain future due to the closure. However, a severance package has been secured for the employees.
Bally's Corp., the owner of the Tropicana, has not yet released updated renderings or a funding plan for the new stadium.
