Bally’s Corp., which operates the Tropicana, sees short-term pain, but long-term gain with its stadium project with the relocated Oakland A’s baseball team.

If the A’s ultimately move to Las Vegas, the team likely will need to draw from the millions of visitors who annually come to Las Vegas to assure the team’s financial success.
