Documents reveal new details of Bally’s Las Vegas hotel-casino adjacent to A's ballpark

Bally’s Corporation has submitted plans to Clark County for its planned multiphase, mixed-use hotel-casino project surrounding the upcoming Athletics' ballpark, with new details revealing a construction timeline expected to span three years.

According to the entitlement package filed on Oct. 8, the full development would cover 3.56 million square feet, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. The project includes 1.7 million square feet for hotel rooms, 822,000 square feet of parking garages, 476,000 square feet of retail, dining, and entertainment space, a 216,000-square-foot theater, 100,000 square feet of casino floor, and 50,000 square feet of pools.

Bally’s aims to have special use permits approved by January, begin construction in April, and complete the phased project by March 2029. The company is also requesting phased building permits, following a process similar to that used for the A’s ballpark.

The development will occupy 26 acres of the 35-acre site at the southeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue, surrounding the 9-acre plot reserved for the $2 billion A’s stadium.

Bally’s project will be built in four phases. Phase 1 includes the construction of a shared central utility plant, the southeast parking garage, a shared access road encircling the ballpark, and retail, dining, and entertainment spaces on the northwest corner of the site. This phase is scheduled to open alongside the A’s ballpark in early 2028.

Phase 2 involves the development of the integrated resort, featuring a 1,800-room hotel tower with a casino and sportsbook, along with additional retail, dining, and entertainment venues ranging from 1,000 to 59,800 square feet, including some rooftop spaces.

Meanwhile, Phase 3 will see the construction of a 3,000-seat theater on the southwest corner of the site, with a maximum height of 130 feet. Phase 4, the final phase, will include a second hotel tower on the northeast corner, featuring 1,200 rooms.

The two hotel towers will reach heights of 350 feet for the 1,800-room tower and 420 feet for the 1,200-room tower, subject to county design review. 

Bally’s plans to provide 2,680 dedicated parking spaces for the resort and mixed-use development—25% below Clark County’s requirement of 3,574 spaces—but including the shared southeast parking garage, total on-site parking would reach 5,200 spaces.

The company is also seeking special-use permits for a resort hotel and recreation or entertainment facility. In addition, Bally’s is requesting waivers to reduce required electric vehicle parking from 108 spaces to 22 and loading spaces from 68 to 11, citing the use of centralized loading docks, a common practice for Strip properties.
