New Bally’s Las Vegas and Baseball Stadium
The Tropicana implosion finally happened. Now, attention has turned to the building of the new Bally’s Las Vegas and the baseball stadium it will share a lot with. Bally’s just revealed their ‘master plans’ for the property which show three hotel towers being built at the same time as the new stadium. And while the name of the new resort has not been officially announced, what else could it be but Bally’s? Let’s remember that way it was back in October of 2020 Caesars Entertainment sold the Bally’s name to Bally Corp for $20 million. This was before anyone knew…

Now the whole matter of betting on US elections is up in the air again, as the federal appeals court heard the case but has yet to make a decision on the issue. However,…
