For the second time in a month, the Athletics have reached an agreement on a potential new stadium site in Las Vegas. According to the Nevada Independent, the A's have a deal in place with Bally's Corporation to build a "$1.5 billion stadium on a portion of the Tropicana Las Vegas site." As part of the arrangement, Bally's would demolish the Tropicana and build a new hotel-casino across from the stadium.
The A's, for their part, are slated to reduce their desired public funding bill from $500 million to $395 million by pursuing this deal instead of their previous agreement. Although that prior pact was said to be binding, it was later revealed to be contingent on the A's securing the public financing needed to proceed. The A's have yet to present Las Vegas lawmakers with a "concrete" proposal, thus delaying their clearing of that hurdle.
