Las Vegas A's Tropicana Site Demolition 04 21 2024

This is a walk around video of the future Las Vegas Athletics Stadium site located at the recently closed Tropicana hotel site. The Tropicana Las Vegas was closed down on April 2, 2024. The property is owned by Bally's Corp who is going to tear down the Tropicana to make way for the new Las Vegas A's baseball stadium as well as a new Bally's hotel and casino. Construction of the new A's Stadium is supposed to start about a year from now in the spring of 2025 on 9 acres of the 36 acre property. I start the walk around on the south west corner at Las Vegas Blvd and Reno. You can see they are starting to install wooden posts to get the fencing up around the site. I make my way to the north end of the property where you are still able to walk around on site. You can see demolition has started on the old motel room area. They are tearing out the sliders on the balcony's and gutting the rooms. A lot of the trees and landscaping has been torn out in the parking lot areas. As I make my way around the south east side I was finally approached by security that I wasn't allowed in this area. I make my way back up Reno Ave to Las Vegas Blvd. I'm expecting the demolition to ramp up once they get all of the fencing installed. I'm still waiting to hear if the towers will be imploded or just torn down. Please subscribe to my channel to get updates on the Tropicana demolition and construction of the new Las Vegas A's Stadium as well as anything Raiders related. Thanks for Watching.

Hello everyone I would like to say a big thank you to Duntov for all the videos showing us ways to get around the beautiful stadium and so much more of Las Vegas our family was in town two weeks ago and seeing in person all the places he’s done awesome detail videos RAIDERS very much appreciated

[@octavianofernandez]

No need to drop the Trop ,when there's a lot of empty properties from the Trop. All the way until the Pinball place.

[@MACMAMI]

85% confident a ballpark never gets built there and it remains a fenced vacant lot for the better part of the next decade: between Bally's financial incompetence and Fisher's managerial incompetence.

[@Darkk6969]

Nahh.. It'll get built. The A's is moving and money already spent to make it happen. Just odd place to build the stadium.

[@MACMAMI]

@@Darkk6969 Vegas will ultimately get an MLB team, but I'm quite confident it won't be on that site. I think it's more likely to either go on part of the 23 acres of land adjacent to the Rio, or maybe the old Wild Wild West site.

[@marvinwilks5893]

😂This Ain't Oakland... the stadium going up just like the Raiders/UNLV Stadium.. What else can you use a baseball stadium for when not being used as a ballpark 😂

[@nmraidernation.6092]

Thanks Duntov!!! Loved your Raider stadium vlogs and now its the A's turn!! Thanks for taking the time!

[@davidteovogel3482]

Thanks for the video, I appreciate the update on the Tropicana.

[@arneminderman3770]

Great video! Thanks, the netherlands.

[@bigbenji1194]

Wow haven’t been here since the stadium construction updates .. that’s crazy

[@boblachance7014]

I used to work in the area near near the Tropicana Hotel and Casino many years ago. It's ashamed to see the place being demolished and in it's current state of disrepair. I knew a few people who worked there many years as well. I knew the former Bell Captain and Head Engineer very well. The biggest issue for not selling it sooner was the major expenditures the hotel could not discharge. It's still sad to see the last landmark on the Las Vegas Strip demonlished. I've been to the majority of the hotel implosions. I will miss not being there to see this property imploded.

[@kevinfrances1694]

Thankyou for going to the strip because I hate going to the strip

[@lsawell]

Hey buddy. glad to see you again.

[@markrussell4482]

Always like your videos - Thanks

[@stevenevans2295]

Looking forward to watching this season of Duntov, man around town. While I encouraged lots of freinds to watch the Allegiant Stadium series, this next few years of Tropicana tear down and insert new mlb stadium is going to be even more epic. The whole drone footage thing is going to be challenging to say the least, but just file for an exemption or whatever it is and maybe you'll get lucky. It isn't impossible. I recently had a conversation with a FAM about the restrictions around major airports and come to find out there are exemptions. Anyways, keep up the good work Duntov.

[@KingCraw]

Was hoping you would follow the demo of this casino, look forward to the updates. I hope to be in town when they demo the the Main parts of the building.

[@colbyjack7074]

Duntov Doin' Work! Great job Duntov!

[@krissolson7043]

I doubt you'll be able to see MGM from the stadium. The view will be the back of the new casino.

[@Caterations]

Still kind of sad about this. I got to see mj live at the trop back in October. It was a great show. I'm glad i went before this was announced.

[@theoriginalsurferbob]

Ok, another opportunity to remind all that it was me, me, who was Vetters first subscriber. So there. 🏴‍☠️🏎️

[@auntim19]

owners are getting rid of the shrine to build a parking lot. This is horrible

[@theoriginalsurferbob]

@@auntim19 The Tropicana is hardly a shrine. Maybe it was hip 35 years ago. Everyone in Las Vegas would much rather have MLB there than that old Trop that nobody goes to anymore. It’s not like they’re imploding the Mandalay Bay.

[@gtbproductions1]

I was just thinking about you the other day wondering if you were going to start a series on the new A's stadium construction. Then today I open youtube and guess who shows up. Welcome back

[@Gemashke]

At 15:51 the sign says "No Authorized Entry." So to me that says unauthorized people are welcome to enter. Go ahead and go inside and have fun...ha ha ha!! ;) But on a serious note: thanks for a great video...keep up the excellent work, Sir!!

[@zaneausley4437]

Tropicana security still working

[@Raiders1967]

I didn''t see any outside. Only the security that stopped my on the south side of the property.

[@ZackBher13]

@@Raiders1967 It’s really happening the A’s to Las Vegas in 2028? I thought it was not happening just all rumors and up in the air! 😳

[@user-bg8zh8oz5l]

i stayed at the tropicanna years ag. it was a nice place

[@gtbproductions1]

You should find the general contractor/project manager and promote your idea of documenting the build of the new stadium. Share with them your excellent job you did with the raiders videos and see if they will allow you some access inside the fence with an employee of the company for filming and inside information. Buy a hard hat and reflector vest and steel tip boots, put them on then go and sell yourself just like a salesperson would with a product. You can do it!!!

[@vegasmarc7252]

Will you do Brightline West construction videos as well?? The groundbreaking ceremony is tomorrow morning.

[@Raiders1967]

I was thinking about it. I drove by this morning and saw they put a tent up for tomorrow's groundbreaking. I'm just not sure if it is open to the public.

[@vegasmarc7252]

@@Raiders1967 I meant the construction progress. It's a 4 year project.

[@PJL7095]

So I am wondering is property like the dumpy OYO will now become coveted places to stay once ball park is up & running …. Or does it really matter

[@ckapoi7801]

😮 Doesn't seem nearly as organized as the Allegiant stadium build.

[@DavidJames-ob3gb]

Was the main entrance like that 5 days ago have they torn it down since.

[@Darkk6969]

One thing should have pointed out the "motel" area are the original rooms when the place first opened up. Just a shame to see this place disappear in history.

[@cencalsal4740]

What the word locally, with the schools over stadiums ballot initiative?

[@Raiders1967]

I haven't heard anything about it for a few weeks. Last I heard was it was going to be heard by the Nevada Supreme Court.

[@theoriginalsurferbob]

I’d rather money go to cool stadiums than to schools.

[@ahhdavy]

How you feel having two of our Oakland teams there dude?

[@TheMancYank]

I feel sorry for the sports fans of Oakland. What do you think is the problem? From an outsider it seems like the city is struggling with crime and decay. Businesses are moving out. Even if they sold the team it would still be in that city. Just curious your thoughts.

[@theoriginalsurferbob]

The politicians in Oakland had three legendary teams. They ran all three off.

[@ahhdavy]

Apart from politics, crime etc etc. the Oakland Colosseum is just wayyyy too old. It’s not really structure properly to host a NFL team or baseball team. Bathrooms get clogged, seating not as comfortable etc etc. I always hated when others bashed my Raiders when it came to the season and seeing the dirt cuz of the MLB season. I don’t care where our teams go. If it gives us a new state of the art home. I’m all for it.

[@brianpatrickreddington1750]

I just dont see how they fit stadium into 9 acres, i heard fisher trying sale part of team to raise 500 million for stadium

No, you didn’t hear he’s trying to sell part of the team.

[@theoriginalsurferbob]

@@Victor-cr5rr No. There never was any story about the owner selling off any piece because he needed it for the stadium. Not only does he have billions but Nevada is kicking in. Not near as much as they did for the Raiders but quite a bit.

@@theoriginalsurferbob and yes the raiders got 750 million and the A's wanting 350,but the raiders got insane prices for NAMING RIGHTS,PSL,LUXARY SUITES AND ADVERTISEMENTS, way more then in Oakland. That's why A's are leaving there banking on getting the crazy prices in Vegas that raiders got.there team value and revenues have skyrocketed

more welfare for a billionaire. despicable.
