Bally’s Sets 2030 Target For Las Vegas Mixed Use Project

Bally’s Corp has outlined the timeline and cost structure for a large mixed-use development planned near the future Athletics ballpark in Las Vegas. A recent county filing provides the clearest picture yet of how the project will unfold over the rest of the decade.

Good to Know

• Total estimated project cost stands at $1.19 billion
• Construction phases extend through 2030
• The site sits next to the Athletics Las Vegas stadium

A filing submitted to Clark County on Dec. 29 details Bally’s plan to complete its Las Vegas mixed-use project

by the end of 2030. The development carries an estimated cost of $1.19 billion and will rise on land adjacent to the Athletics new ballpark, according to reporting by the Las Vegas Review Journal.

The application outlines a phased construction schedule that includes a hotel, casino, theater, retail outlets, and dining venues. County records list projected filing dates for 13 separate building permits along with estimated contract values for each phase. Permit applications submitted in December marked the formal start of construction activity.

Bally’s also continues work on a separate $2 billion hotel casino project in the Chicago area. That development remains under construction and runs parallel to the Las Vegas effort.

Early construction scope

Initial work on the Las Vegas site will focus on infrastructure and shared facilities. The 35-acre parcel sits at the southeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue. Planned early components include a parking garage, a central utility plant, a shared accessway, a 2,500-seat theater, and a podium structure on the northwest side of the property.

Bally’s filed its first permits in mid-December. Applications covered a central utility plant on Dec. 17 and a southeast parking garage and ramp on Dec. 22. Both facilities will support operations for Bally’s and the Athletics development. The utility plant carries an estimated value of $175 million, while the parking structure is valued at $150 million. Bally’s expects approval for the shared utility plant permit later this week.

Phased build plan

Planning documents from last year showed that Bally’s intended to deliver the project in stages, with the first hotel tower placed in a later phase. Renderings released by the company show the mixed-use complex positioned alongside the Athletics stadium as the central anchor.

Bally’s Chair Soo Kim previously described the project as a “once-in-a-generation opportunity to redefine the heart of the Strip.”

The updated filing indicates that the hotel tower will come near the end of construction. County records do not expect the hotel tower permit to be filed until May 2028.

Permit schedule and costs

The Clark County filing outlines a multi-year permitting schedule.

During 2026, Bally’s plans to submit permits for a shared accessway valued at $10 million, theater foundations and podium superstructure at $30 million, theater superstructure and utilities at $70 million, northwest podium foundations at $25 million, and northwest podium superstructure and shell work at $35 million.

In 2027, permit filings include northwest podium build-out at $65 million, southwest podium foundations at $20 million, and hotel tower foundations at $25 million.

In 2028, planned permits cover southwest podium superstructure at $20 million, southwest podium build-out at $10 million, and the hotel tower superstructure and build-out at $550 million.

Permit approvals will roll out gradually from 2026 through 2029 as work progresses.

Construction on the Athletics stadium is already underway. The ballpark will occupy nine acres and feature a 33,000-seat capacity. Team officials continue to project a 2028 completion date. Bally’s development will take up the remaining 26 acres surrounding the stadium footprint.
