Another Las Vegas resort has been imploded just as two new Sin City resorts are ready to open! Yes, as the dust settles, the next generation of Sin City resorts begins to rise. So, This Week in Gambling, we’re looking at new Las Vegas hotels opening next week, next month, and next year! The East Side Cannery is no more. The resort was closed during Covid and never reopened. Now it’s lost to the past as Boyd Gaming had the abandoned property imploded on March 5th. That was the first implosion in Las Vegas since the Tropicana came down in…

Bally’s Las Vegas has finalized a multiphase construction timeline for its new resort on the Las Vegas Strip, with development scheduled to begin in the first half of 2026. The project will occupy the 35-acre site previously home to the Tropicana Las Vegas, which was demolished in late 2024. According to documents submitted to Clark County, the development will be integrated with a new 33,000-seat stadium for the Athletics Major League Baseball franchise. The master plan for Bally’s Las Vegas includes two hotel towers with a combined 3,000 guest rooms, a casino floor spanning 100,000 square feet, and a 2,500-seat…

Is Bally’s Las Vegas set to return to the  Strip? It sure looks that way! And we have new renderings of what that resort could look like, along with the baseball stadium they plan  to build right next door. But first, Delano Las Vegas will soon be no more! But don’t worry, they’re not tearing the place down. They’re just rebranding it, as MGM Resorts feels that it’s once again time for a name change. You see, from 2003 to 2012 Delano was simply known as THEHotel at Mandalay Bay. Not exactly the most creative name, I know. But before…

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…

Most people have heard that Las Vegas is getting a baseball team. What is not so well known is how that will bring about the return of Bally’s Las Vegas. Believe it or not, the two events are connected in ways that no one could have imagined a few years ago… and yet, here we are. First, you must understand that Bally Corporation was not associated with the Bally’s Las Vegas casino, which was owned by Caesars Entertainment. When Caesars decided to rebrand Bally’s as the Horseshoe, they sold the name to Bally Corp. The good folks at Bally Corp….

A mere eight months after announcing that Bally’s Las Vegas would be re-branded as the Horseshoe, workers began removing the Bally’s name on the outside of the building. One by one the letters came down. And while that may seem like a big deal, there is so much more involved than what we can see on the building’s exterior. As we approach the end of the year, guests can expect to see additional changes to the casino floor and other public areas, changes to food and beverage options, and new entertainment options including a classic arcade where the sportsbook used…
