Quick Glance: Tropicana's Closure for New Baseball Stadium

The 67-year-old Tropicana will close on Tuesday to make way for a new baseball stadium designated for the Major League Baseball team the A's.

Originally considered luxurious, the Tropicana lost its appeal over the years and was finally sold to Bally's for $308 million to make room for the future baseball stadium.

Demolition is scheduled for October after MLB owners approved the A's move to Las Vegas in November of last year. The team is expected to arrive in Las Vegas in 2028.

The design for the new $1.5 billion baseball stadium on the Tropicana site was recently unveiled, showcasing a futuristic look with huge white sails inspired by traditional baseball pennants.

Quick Glance: End of an Era: Tropicana Closes After 67 Years

The legendary Tropicana Casino and Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip closes after 67 years to make way for the construction of a new baseball stadium for the Oakland Athletics.

The Tropicana had a remarkable history and was a refuge for celebrities like Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and the Rat Pack group.

The Tropicana's history is closely linked to Hollywood and the mafia, with authorities conducting extensive surveillance operations in the 1970s against mobsters skimming casino profits.

Bally's Corporation acquired the Tropicana in 2022 and may potentially build a new casino on the site after the completion of the baseball stadium in 2028.
