Key Moments:
- Bally’s Corporation has presented a phased development plan for a 3.5 million square foot resort complex in Las Vegas.
- Construction is scheduled to begin in April 2026, with completion targeted for spring 2029.
- The company has merged with Intralot’s technology division in a €2.7bn ($3.12bn) transaction, establishing Bally’s Intralot.
Outline of the Multi-Phase Project
Bally’s Corporation has detailed an extensive timeline for its proposed mixed-use resort in Las Vegas. The future development will be positioned on 26 acres of the 35-acre Tropicana site, at the heavily trafficked intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue. The company’s submitted documents to Clark County reveal a four-phase strategy, culminating in a significant new presence adjacent to the future Athletics’ Major League Baseball stadium.
Construction Timeline and Planned Amenities
The initial phase is projected to commence in April 2026, contingent on potential permit approval earlier that year. Work will start with vital infrastructure, including a central utility plant, an expansive parking structure, and various retail and dining establishments bordering the new A’s stadium.
The project’s second phase is set to introduce Bally’s core resort features: a hotel tower with 1,800 guest rooms, a casino spanning 100,000 square feet, and a contemporary sportsbook. A 3,000-seat theater, located on the property’s southwest edge, is planned for phase three.
In its final construction stage, the resort will expand to include a second hotel tower, providing an additional 1,200 rooms.

Design, Capacity, and Approvals
When complete, the project will feature over 476,000 square feet dedicated to retail and entertainment, as well as 50,000 square feet for pool and outdoor activities. The anticipated hotel towers are expected to reach heights of approximately 350 and 420 feet, subject to final sign-off by county officials.
Parking infrastructure includes 2,680 spots reserved for the resort, with combined shared facilities bringing availability to more than 5,000 spaces. Bally’s has applied for special use permits to allow full-scale resort and entertainment operations, along with waivers for electric vehicle and loading requirements to remain consistent with other Strip properties.
Corporate Evolution and Strategic Positioning
This Las Vegas venture comes amid notable changes for Bally’s. Following a recently completed €2.7bn ($3.12bn) merger with Intralot’s technology division, the new entity Bally’s Intralot aims to advance both its gaming and technology initiatives.
The project is set to coincide with the opening of the adjacent A’s stadium, with construction underway by 2028, and the resort reaching full realization by spring 2029 – marking a significant milestone for Bally’s on the Las Vegas Strip.
