Earlier this week, Ross Edwards, senior vice president of operations at Mortenson McCarthy, told the Las Vegas Stadium Authority that<strong> construction on a new Major League Baseball (MLB) stadium in Las Vegas would need to commence by April 2025<\/strong> at the latest to have the venue ready prior to the start of the 2028 season. Mortenson McCarthy was hired by the A\u2019s to manage development of the new ballpark.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p>In May, Tropicana operator Bally\u2019s and the A\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/ballys-oakland-as-reach-agreement-on-tropicana-stadium-site\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">announced a binding agreement<\/a> that paved the way for the land occupied by the once iconic Strip casino resort to become the home of a new MLB stadium. Soon after, it was revealed that Tropicana\u2019s lifespan was measured at 18 to 24 months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The MLB team previously had a binding agreement with Red Rock Resorts pertaining to approximately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/oakland-as-red-rock-discussing-las-vegas-stadium-site\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a040 acres at the intersection<\/a> of I-15 and the Tropicana. It\u2019s believed that the accord fell through because the amount of public financing needed to build a stadium on that site is $500 million, compared with $395 million for the same project on Tropicana\u2019s land.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tropicana_Fate_Driven_by_As_Ballys\"><\/span>Tropicana Fate Driven by A\u2019s, Bally\u2019s<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On the company\u2019s third-quarter earnings conference call yesterday, Gaming and Leisure Properties (NASDAQ: GLPI) COO Brandon Moore noted \u201cTropicana is a process largely driven by the A\u2019s and Bally\u2019s at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, GLPI is the owner of the real estate, making its perspective on the matter relevant to all stakeholders. The real estate investment trust (REIT) already committed to $175 million in financing for a stadium project there, but recently noted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/gaming-and-leisure-properties-could-lift-stadium-financing\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">it could up that amount<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"main-blockquote\">\n<p>I think we already have disclosed that we\u2019ve committed to a minimum investment number to help demolish and clear the site and to do a little bit of shared infrastructure as to whether or not we decide to invest more into that project,\u201d said Moore on the conference call.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He added that there could come a time when GLPI decides to boost its investment in the stadium project, but added \u201cit\u2019s way too early in the process for us to make any sort of commitment on that now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Development costs on the stadium are estimated to be $400 million, the bulk of which will be paid for by the A\u2019s, but the team is in the process of trying to procure financing for the remaining $1.1 billion needed to bring the project to life.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tropicana_Could_Be_Revived_in_the_Future\"><\/span>Tropicana Could Be Revived in the Future<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>GLPI previously said it would work with Bally\u2019s to potentially resurrect Tropicana, in updated form, at the stadium site when the ballpark is completed. Demolition of the venue isn\u2019t surprising and likely would occur without the A\u2019s moving to Las Vegas because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/ballys-targeting-major-overhaul-of-tropicana-las-vegas\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bally\u2019s promised a major overhaul<\/a> of the venue.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the looming death of Tropicana in its current form means a piece of Las Vegas history will die, too. In a bygone era of Sin City lore, the Tropicana had numerous ties to organized crime. In the late 1950s, then owner Ben Jaffe came under scrutiny after an earnings promissory note to Luciano family boss Frank Costello was discovered.<\/p>\n<p>In the late 1970s, Tropicana was the target of a cash skimming operation perpetrated by the Civella crime family of Kansas City. That crime ring served as part of the plot inspiration for the 1995 hit film <em>Kasyno<\/em>, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Sharon Stone.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/tropicana-las-vegas-could-be-demolished-by-late-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tropicana Slated for Late 2024 Demolition if Oakland A\u2019s Proceed with Las Vegas Move<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\" target=\"_blank\">Casino.org<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Demolition for the Tropicana Las Vegas casino hotel could happen as soon as late 2024 if the Oakland Athletics (A\u2019s) proceed with their move to Sin City.
