Many of you already know that Bally’s Corporation agreed to purchase the Tropicana Las Vegas last April. The sale came to just over $300 million. That agreement was really for the land on the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard than it was the deteriorating hotel and casino. The non-land assets were another $150 million.
Now, with the deal set to finalize, Bally’s has publicly stated that they re considering many options for the property. Those include that the hotel and casino will “almost certainly” be rebranded, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility that the whole site is simply demolished, with a new building put in its place.
All of this follows the sale of the Bally’s brand by Caesars in October of last year, and the renaming of the Bally’s property on the Strip to the Horseshoe Casino, which we reported earlier this week. So, it’s possible that the Tropicana Las Vegas could be remodeled as Bally’s, or that a new Bally’s Casino is built on the 35-acre parcel.
