Bally’s releases new rendering showing entertainment district at Athletics’ baseball stadium on The Strip
Bally’s Corp. has said that the future Las Vegas home of the Athletics will include 500,000 square feet of retail, dining, and entertainment offerings, a 3,000-room hotel-casino with two towers and a 2,500-seat theater alongside the $2bn, 33,000-capacity baseball stadium.
Speaking to The Nevada Independent, Bally’s Chairman, Soo Kim, said: “It’s not lost upon me that 75 percent of Vegas revenues are non-gaming. We are absolutely able to deliver before the opening of the stadium.”
He likened the plans to entertainment districts around other Major League ballparks, such as The Battery in Atlanta and the Gas Lamp District near Petco Park in San Diego.
“The phasing of this will depend on which partners we’re bringing on and when,” Kim added. “We absolutely believe there is enough demand for retail,” Kim said, adding the company has submitted entitlements for the land to Clark County.
Marnell Architecture, the architect overseeing the development, released a new rendering showing how the entertainment district would be enclosed with a non-retractable roof with a glass wall offering views of the Strip during games.
Working in collaboration with JLL, Bally’s Las Vegas will feature two luxury hotel towers totaling 3,000 rooms, a state-of-the-art entertainment venue with a seating capacity of 2,500, and more than 500,000 square feet of retail, dining, and entertainment offerings. The resort will also include a casino and a VIP experience with direct access to the ballpark, blending the thrill of professional sports with the energy of the Strip.
“Bally’s Las Vegas represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to redefine the heart of the Strip,” said Mr. Kim. “With world-class partners like JLL and Marnell, and with the arrival of Major League Baseball, we are not just building an integrated resort. We are creating a landmark destination that unites sports, entertainment, dining and hospitality on a scale only Las Vegas can deliver.”
Envisioned as a vibrant hub for international travelers and regional baseball fans alike, Bally’s Las Vegas will showcase a curated mix of dining concepts, flagship retail and immersive experiences. The project aims to meet the growing demand for integrated entertainment while positioning Las Vegas as the ultimate stage for professional baseball and large-scale global tourism.
JLL will lead retail and dining sourcing efforts for the project, ensuring a mix of global brands and local favorites that reflect the city’s unique character. Michael Hirschfeld, Vice Chairman of JLL, is leading the global leasing team within JLL.
“Las Vegas is one of the most important markets for food and beverage, entertainment and retail in the US,” said Hirschfeld. “The extended hours of operation in the market yield some of the highest sales per unit in the country.
