"Vegas Evolution: Tropicana Casino's Demolition Paves Way for A's Ballpark"
The iconic Tropicana Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas will close to make way for a new $1.5 billion, 33,000-seat stadium for the Oakland Athletics, marking the team's move from the Bay Area. The remaining land will be used for a new Bally's resort, with construction set to begin in 2025 and the ballpark projected to be ready for the 2028 season. The A's will become the latest pro sports franchise to move to Las Vegas, joining the NHL's Golden Knights, WNBA's Aces, and the NFL's Raiders. The move was approved by Major League Baseball in November, giving Las Vegas its first pro sports franchise since 2020.
