From what I have gathered, the locals are very upset about losing the Tropicana (or most of it)

I have a pretty good friend who lives in Vegas and a big part of the nightclub scene there and when it was announced that the strip would be losing the volcano at the Mirage to make way for Hard Rock Casino, I could not believe the support he had from locals who helped protested this.

10's of thousands of locals were really upset about losing that stupid volcano. That's just a volcano.

Imagine what locals feel about losing a classic/iconic resort where their grandparents, parents, friends, etc. worked, gambled, partied, ate, etc. It's a whole different upset. This is why the locals are upset about the A's.

If the A's were building the stadium somewhere else in Vegas, I would bet (no pun) the enthusiasm from locals would be a lot more positive.

Most of all the original places are long gone, I can't imagine the locals are that mad over the Tropicana. Doubt anyone 70 or under care.
