The Oakland A’s Are Coming To Las Vegas

There’s been chatter for months about the possibility of The Oakland A’s MLB team moving to Las Vegas. The word on the street is, The Oakland A’s and Bally’s Corp. have recently put an agreement in place. Not everyone is happy about the A’s taking over the Tropicana Hotel location! It’s such an iconic location, some people are just hating the idea or possibility.

Personally, I think it’s great! I think it will be great for the city. I think it will bring more tourism, because people just want to see what they are doing with that location. The Tropicana Hotel opened April 4, 1957. That’s over 66 years of tourists, so iconic. There are generations of Tropicana Hotel visitors! Those young kids now dads, bring their kids.

If they implode the Tropicana and actually rebuild a world Class Sporting Event Center, I think it will be awesome for our city and future tourist.

Here are a few bullet points from what I can gather:
* Oakland A’s and Bally’s Corp. form partnership
* $1.5 billion stadium project in Las Vegas.
* State-of-the-art retractable roof stadium with 35,000 seats.

Once again Las Vegas sports and entertainment solidifying Las Vegas as premier destination.

I moved here in 1998, and in a million years, because of gambling, I never thought they could bring a pro sports team franchise here. Though I remember Mayor Oscar Goodman trying to work his magic.
Looks like times are changing. We’ve got the UFC, The Raiders, Aces, Golden Knights! It only makes sense that we finally get a Pro Baseball Team!

Looking forward to seeing how things progress.
