Bally’s

Bally’s Corporation has launched a short-term casino operation on the former Tropicana site in Las Vegas, fulfilling Nevada’s regulatory requirement to maintain gaming rights. The temporary facility, housed in a construction trailer along Ocean Drive, offers public access to 16 slot machines. While the setup lacks traditional amenities, it ensures the property’s non-restricted gaming license remains active as redevelopment continues. Tropicana closed in April 2024 and was demolished later that year.

Bally’s Corp. has inaugurated a short-term casino at the former Tropicana site in Las Vegas, fulfilling Nevada’s regulatory requirement to maintain active gaming licenses. The temporary setup, housed in a construction trailer on Ocean Drive near Tropicana Avenue, offers 16 slot machines and operates only during daytime hours. This limited operation is not intended as a full-scale casino but ensures Bally’s retains its non-restricted gaming license amid ongoing redevelopment. The former Tropicana, closed in April 2024 and demolished in October 2024, is undergoing extensive reconstruction.
