Bally's Corporation has announced plans to begin construction on a next-generation casino in downtown Las Vegas

Bally’s Corporation has unveiled updated plans for a large-scale resort and casino project in Las Vegas, which will be part of a complex surrounding the new baseball stadium for the Athletics. The company aims to develop a modern entertainment center featuring a casino that spans 100,000 square feet.
Construction is set to begin in April 2026, pending the necessary permits expected to be granted in January, with completion targeted for the stadium's opening in 2028. The first phase of the project will focus on establishing infrastructure, parking facilities, and public spaces. Following that, the main component of the complex—a fully integrated resort with an 1,800-room hotel, a sportsbook, and various restaurants—will be constructed. The casino will serve as the central attraction for visitors, combining traditional gaming areas, a premium section for VIP guests, and digital betting terminals.
Later phases will include a 3,000-seat theater and a second hotel tower with 1,200 rooms. The buildings are planned to reach heights of 351 and 394 feet, respectively, with final design approval still pending from Clark County authorities.
In addition to the casino and hotels, the project will feature 474,000 square feet of retail and entertainment space, along with 50,000 square feet dedicated to pool areas. The resort is designed to accommodate over 5,000 parking spaces, including shared lots with the arena.
Bally’s has requested special permits for the operation of the casino and hotel, as well as for streamlined requirements regarding electric vehicles and loading zones. The company asserts that the plan aligns with the practices of the largest gaming establishments on the Strip, Las Vegas's main tourist boulevard.
This new project continues Bally’s growth strategy following its €2.7 billion ($2.9 billion) merger with technology firm Intralot. This merger is expected to enhance the operator's technological capabilities and expand the gaming functionality of the future casino.
Notably, the relocation of the Hollywood riverboat casino to land has resulted in increased revenue for Bally’s.
