Bally’s Corporation is moving closer to launching the first phase of its large-scale mixed-use development planned around the Oakland Athletics’ future ballpark on the Las Vegas Strip.
Plans for the company’s $1.19 billion multiphase project received a recommendation for approval from the Paradise Town Advisory Board, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. The proposal now advances to the Clark County Commission, which is expected to consider the permits during its April 8 meeting.
A spokeswoman for Bally’s told the Review-Journal that the company is prepared to begin work on the first phase once all approvals are secured.
The first phase of Bally’s project will focus on infrastructure and visitor amenities for the 35-acre site, including a parking garage on the southeast corner, a utility plant along the eastern border to support the A’s ballpark, and a three-level plaza on the northwest portion featuring retail, dining, and entertainment spaces.
Sandy Dean, Vice Chairman of the Athletics, said earlier this month that this phase is expected to take about one year to complete, and construction must begin by early 2027 to ensure the facilities are finished before the ballpark opens in early 2028.
Future phases of the development will expand the entertainment complex with a casino, a 2,500-seat theater on the southwest corner, a 24-story, 1,800-room hotel tower, an underground parking garage on the northwest portion, and surface-level parking on the northeast corner, which may eventually be replaced with another Bally’s hotel tower.
Bally’s has already submitted building permit applications to Clark County for the southeast parking garage, utility plant, and the theater’s foundation work.
Stadium Construction Progress
Meanwhile, construction of the Athletics’ $2 billion Las Vegas ballpark is progressing on 9 acres of the 35-acre parcel, with more than $300 million spent so far. Groundbreaking for the stadium took place in June last year.
Recent construction milestones include the installation of the first structural steel, as crews begin forming the seating bowl. Additional steel structures are now being placed above the second level of poured concrete decks, which will support suite areas and upper-deck seating.
Officials said the 33,000-seat stadium project remains on schedule and within budget, targeting an early 2028 opening.
