Bally’s Corporation has submitted a comprehensive proposal to Clark County for an ambitious mixed-use hotel and casino complex to be built around the Las Vegas Athletics’ new Major League Baseball stadium. This massive project is expected to take several years to complete, with the phased construction spanning until March 2029.

Phased Construction Plans and Timeline

The project, which will be located at the southeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue, will cover 3.56 million square feet upon completion. Of this total, 1.7 million square feet will be dedicated to hotel rooms, with additional space allocated for parking garages (822,000 square feet), retail, dining, and entertainment (476,000 square feet), a theater (216,000 square feet), a casino floor (100,000 square feet), and pools (50,000 square feet).

According to Bally’s entitlement package submitted to Clark County on October 8, 2025, the company plans to begin construction in April 2026, pending approval of special-use permits by January 2026. The first phase of the project is expected to coincide with the A’s ballpark completion in early 2028.

The development will take shape in four distinct phases over several years, occupying 26 acres of a 35-acre site. The A’s stadium, a separate $2 billion venture, will occupy 9 acres of the property. Bally’s project is designed to complement the stadium, enhancing the surrounding area with a diverse range of offerings.

According to Las Vegas Review-Journal, Phase 1, which is scheduled for completion alongside the A’s ballpark, will focus on building the infrastructure necessary for the site’s long-term success. This will include the construction of a shared central utility plant, the southeast parking garage, a shared access road surrounding the ballpark, and the initial retail, dining, and entertainment spaces in the northwest corner. This phase is critical to ensuring smooth operations for the ballpark and the resort complex, which will integrate seamlessly with each other.

The second phase of construction will see the development of an integrated resort, a focal point of the Bally’s project. This phase includes the construction of a 1,800-room hotel tower, a casino, and a sportsbook. In addition, more retail, dining, and entertainment spaces are planned, ranging from 1,000 square feet to nearly 60,000 square feet, some of which will be located on rooftops for added guest experience.

Phase 3 of Bally’s Las Vegas project will add a major entertainment component to the resort with the construction of a 3,000-seat theater located on the southwest corner of the site. The theater will stand 130 feet tall and will host a variety of live performances, further enhancing the area’s entertainment offerings. This phase will bring a new level of excitement to the project, offering something for both locals and tourists looking for cultural experiences in the heart of the Strip.

Phase 4 will finalize the project with the construction of a second hotel tower on the northeast side of the site. This tower will add 1,200 more rooms to the development, bringing the total hotel room count to 3,000. The new tower will rise to 420 feet, surpassing the first tower’s height of 350 feet. As with all new developments in the area, these designs will be subject to county review to ensure compliance with zoning and aesthetic guidelines.

Parking and Special-Use Permits

Parking is a key consideration for the Bally’s resort. The development will include 2,680 dedicated parking spaces for the resort complex, which is 25% fewer than what Clark County’s regulations would normally require for a project of this size. However, when accounting for the shared parking garage planned for the southeast corner of the property, the total on-site parking capacity will rise to 5,200 spaces, ensuring ample parking for both the resort and the A’s stadium.

Bally’s is also seeking special-use permits for the site to operate as a resort hotel and entertainment facility, along with a request for waivers on certain development standards. This includes reducing the number of electric vehicle parking spaces from 108 to 22 and lowering the number of required loading spaces from 68 to 11. The company has argued that centralized loading docks, a common practice in Las Vegas Strip properties, will allow for better operational efficiency.

This proposed project represents a bold move for Bally’s Corporation, which is undergoing significant restructuring. Earlier this month, Bally’s completed its €2.7 billion merger with Intralot’s technology division, leading to the formation of Bally’s Intralot. Robeson Reeves, CEO of Bally’s, will oversee both entities, signaling the company’s ambitious plans to expand its presence in both the Las Vegas market and the broader entertainment landscape.
