The iconic Tropicana Las Vegas took its final bow with a breathtaking spectacle, illuminating the Las Vegas skyline with an impressive drone and fireworks show, followed by the 22-second-long implosion of the Tropicana at 2:30 a.m. PT on Wednesday, Oct. 9. The momentous event marks the next chapter in Las Vegas' legacy of reinvention: the A’s state-of-the-art ballpark and a world-class entertainment resort destination in partnership with Bally’s Corporation, a name synonymous with Vegas hospitality and gaming.

“Bally’s is honored to have been part of this historic moment, bidding farewell to the iconic Tropicana,” said Soo Kim, chairman of Bally's Corporation. “As we celebrate its legacy, we look ahead to building a world-class entertainment resort, the future home of the Athletics, and reinforcing Las Vegas as the ultimate sports and entertainment capital.”
