The process to get the Athletics’ planned Las Vegas Strip ballpark project to the point where construction can start next year has been a collaborative effort.

The A’s and Bally’s Corp., which owned the Tropicana before it was imploded, worked with officials from the state, Clark County and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, and leaders from neighboring resorts as they developed a site plan for the MLB team’s proposed $1.5 billion stadium and a resort to be built around it.
