LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - OCTOBER 09: The 23-story Paradise hotel tower of the Tropicana Las Vegas is imploded on October 09, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The hotel-casino opened in 1957 and closed permanently in April 2024 to make way for a planned USD 1.5 billion, 33,000-seat domed stadium for Major League Baseball's Oakland Athletics and a related resort development by Bally's Corp. and Gaming and Leisure Properties Inc. MLB owners approved the team's relocation to Nevada in November 2023, and the A's hope to move into the ballpark, which will occupy nine acres of the 35-acre site, in 2028.
