Pop-up Strip casino opens at former Tropicana site
A temporary casino with 16 slot machines opened at the former Tropicana site to maintain the property's gaming license.Summary
A temporary casino operated by Bally’s Corp. opened this week at the former Tropicana site on the Las Vegas Strip. The pop-up casino, consisting of 16 slot machines accessible from Ocean Drive, is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Thursday. This temporary setup is required by Nevada policy to preserve the non-restricted gaming license for the property, which must demonstrate gaming activity every 24 months. The slot machines do not accept TITO vouchers, requiring all winnings to be paid out by hand. Construction is currently underway on a new 33,000-seat ballpark for the Oakland A’s, planned to arrive in 2028, on nine acres of the 35-acre parcel, with Bally’s planning a larger mixed-use development around the stadium.
