We have a pretty good idea now that the permits have been filed! But could a buyout of Bally Corp. put the new Vegas baseball stadium deal in jeopardy?<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Tropicana Implosion Dates + Bally&#039;s Buyout!\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Rl090V3gyHA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Tropicana Resort in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thisweekingambling.com\/las-vegas-coronavirus-changes-are-coming\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"447\">Las Vegas<\/a> has been picked bare and now an implosion permit application has been filed with Clark County as we count down the days till the walls come crashing down. Bally Corporation, who owns the building and the property it sits on, say that the building will be imploded soon in what they are calling a \u201csingle explosive event\u201d\u2026 or maybe a single implosive event\u2026 and while we don\u2019t know a specific date just yet, we\u2019re getting pretty damn close!<\/p>\n<p>The Tropicana implosion permit says that all work must be done no later than October 20th\u2026 however the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thisweekingambling.com\/tropicana-implosion-date-narrowed-down\/\">implosion company will not arrive at Tropicana<\/a> until September 30th, and they must be off the property no later than October 8th\u2026 so we have a time frame! Now, we\u2019re not demolition experts\u2026 obviously. But it seems to us that within that time frame the implosion company would need time to set up their explosives\u2026 get safety measures in place\u2026 run all the wires and pass out hard hats. Then after the implosion, it seems they would need a few days to clean up\u2026 gather their gear\u2026 get their damn hard hats back\u2026 so if we were betting men, which we are, it looks like the weekend of October 5th is a pretty good bet! But we\u2019re just guessing!<\/p>\n<p>Bally\u2019s will have the final word on when a Tropicana implosion takes place, so I would wait for an official announcement before I made any plans to be in Las Vegas to watch the building come down. In the meantime, Bally\u2019s was also making headlines this week for a completely different reason. Standard General just bought out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ballys.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bally\u2019s Corp<\/a> with a $4.6 billion stock purchase, which has some people a bit concerned. You may recall that Bally\u2019s basically agreed to give up the land where Tropicana now stands so that Las Vegas could build their brand new professional baseball stadium. So now people are wondering\u2026 is that deal still good?<\/p>\n<p>While no official word has come down, the chairman of Bally Corporation is also the chairman of the company who just bought them out\u2026 which is not only pretty damn convenient, it\u2019s a pretty good indicator that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thisweekingambling.com\/ballys-buyout-impact-on-vegas-baseball-stadium\/\">baseball stadium deal<\/a> is still good. Finally this week, with all the talk about the Tropicana implosion circulating, some of you may have heard rumors on social media that Circus Circus was being shut down. We wanted to take just a moment here at the end of this program to let you know those rumors are completely untrue. Circus Circus is not shutting down, and the building has not been condemned\u2026 it just looks like it\u2019s been condemned.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thisweekingambling.com\/tropicana-implosion-countdown-begins\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When will the Tropicana implosion happen?
