Update on Tropicana Las Vegas

Now, Clark County Commissioners have unanimously agreed to that extension, giving the license several additional years. Bally Corporation now owns the land where the soon to be imploded remains of the Tropicana Las Vegas sit. And according to Nevada Gaming Attorney Dennis Gutwald, the extension allows Bally’s to defer the expiration of…
