The new Las Vegas MLB Stadium may be in jeopardy due to concerns over investors and financing. Plus, we have an update on what’s being said about the Tropicana Las Vegas implosion date this fall.
We know the Tropicana is coming down, we just don’t know when, exactly. Although, there are some pretty good guesses out there… and we’ll discuss those in just a moment. But first, that new Las Vegas MLB Stadium they plan to build where the Tropicana is standing right now? There’s no money to pay for it! Like, none… at all.
The $1.5 billion cost was supposed to be paid for through debt financing, investors, and taxpayer money… except there is no financing, there are no investors… so what about them taxpayers? Tell me why the people of Nevada have to pay for the billionaire owner of the team to have a new stadium in their community, so that he can continue to profit off of them? Maybe for the same reason that they couldn’t fix the roads in Las Vegas until F1 came to town?
There was even even a legal challenge to this whole taxpayer money thing recently, asking that the issue be put to a vote because the people of Nevada foolishly thought that this cash could be used for something more beneficial… like say, education? However, the State Supreme Court shot that shit down right quick, because they don’t want people to vote for it… they just want people to pay for it.
But even with the $350 million in taxpayer money, they’re still going to be short more than a billion dollars to build the Las Vegas MLB Stadium, which begs the question, where do we go from here? Look, they will probably find the investors that they want… and they’ll probably get the financing they need… but even if they don’t, well… this wouldn’t be the first project in the history of Las Vegas to fail.
However, there are two things we know for an absolute certainty: The first is that the billionaire owner of the baseball team is not going to risk one damn dime of his own money on this stadium project… The second is that the Tropicana is coming down in early October… we just don’t know an exact date yet, although there are a lot of people on YouTube who are guessing, and some even claim to have “inside information”.
Those guesses ranged from October 3rd to October 7th, which is funny because just a couple of weeks ago I came right here on this program and predicted October 5th… so you might say I was…
in the ‘ballpark’? LOL! The truth is, no one knows an exact date just yet… not until Bally’s makes the announcement. And hell, at this point Bally’s might not even know an exact date! However, when it comes to the new Las Vegas MLB Stadium, we have our own sources of inside information.
You see, our best friends sisters boyfriends brothers girlfriend knows this kid who heard from this guy who works for the demolition company… and he saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night.
So, it must be pretty serious. (Bueller?)
