The A’s Are Coming to the Strip: Inside the Las Vegas Ballpark

Major League Baseball is coming to the Las Vegas Strip. The Athletics’ new 2 billion dollar, 33,000-seat domed ballpark is under construction on the former Tropicana site and is on schedule to open for the 2028 season. Right next door, Bally’s is building a 3 billion dollar integrated resort, turning one of the Strip’s most storied corners into a new sports-and-entertainment district. Here is where the A’s Las Vegas stadium stands today and what the finished project will look like.

The A’s Las Vegas Stadium: What We Know

The project is moving from paperwork to steel. Here are the key details as of mid-2026:

• Cost and size: roughly 2 billion dollars for a 33,000-seat stadium.
• Timeline: on track to open before the 2028 MLB season, following a ceremonial groundbreaking on June 23.
• Demand: all initial suites have sold out, and about 80 percent of Athletic Club season-ticket packages are gone, with general-public sales to follow.

A Domed Ballpark on the Old Tropicana Site

The stadium is being built as a fully enclosed, domed ballpark, a necessity in the desert heat, with a lower bowl, suite levels, and an upper deck. Construction has passed real milestones: the buttress work is complete, upper-deck construction began in the spring, and the lower-suite level is taking shape. It sits on the site of the former Tropicana, which closed and was demolished to make way for the new district on the south end of the Strip.

Bally’s $3 Billion Resort Next Door

The ballpark is only half the story. Bally’s Corporation is developing a 3 billion dollar integrated resort on the surrounding 35 acres, designed to open alongside the stadium. Plans include:

• Hotels: two luxury towers with about 3,000 rooms combined.
• Entertainment: a full casino, a four-level entertainment and retail complex, and a 2,500-seat venue.
• Ballpark access: a dedicated VIP experience with direct access to the A’s stadium next door.

Together, the resort and the ballpark are meant to function as one connected destination rather than two separate projects.

How to Plan a Game-Day Trip

A ballpark on the Strip means you can pair a game with everything else Vegas does well, from a pregame pool day to a post-game night out. When the A’s open in 2028 and single-game tickets go on sale, our team can package the whole weekend, from a room within walking distance to premium seats and the after-party.

In the meantime, browse stays on our Las Vegas hotels hub and let our VIP concierge team build the game-day trip around first pitch.
