Yea, we know. Everyone wants a specific date for the planned Tropicana implosion, but the truth is we can’t give you one. However, we do have enough information to narrow down the date to a specific time frame. And maybe, if we look at things logically, we can get pretty close to a specific day.

The agreement will be finalized sometime early next year, pending regulatory approval. The deal finds Bally’s paying $150 million for the Tropicana building and assets, then leasing the property from real estate investment trust Gaming and Leisure Properties for the next 50 years.

One of the few remaining Sin City casinos still closed has finally opened their doors!
