LAS VEGAS, Nevada – The CEO of Steelman Partners in Las Vegas has released renderings and a video showing an NBA connected to a hotel resort on the north end of the Strip on the old Wet ‘N’ Wild site.
Paul Curtis Steelman released the LVXP project details in a LinkedIn post Thursday.
LVSportsBiz.com has reported on this arena project earlier this year. The site for the proposed mixed-use arena development is 27 acres.
LVXP wants to build the NBA arena on the site where Las Vegas businessman and former UNLV basketball player Jackie Robinson wanted to build an arena and non-gambling hotel. Clark County gave Robinson nine years to come up with the funding for the 22,000-seat arena project. But the All Net arena project was an air ball and Robinson was not able to build the venue.
Here is an LVSportsBiz.com look at the site:
The LVXP arena proposal is is the second NBA arena project proposed in Las Vegas. Arena builder Tim Leiweke, of Oak View Group, wants to build an NBA arena at the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Blue Diamond Road, about three miles south of Mandalay Bay.
Leiweke has said he will not ask for any public money for that arena projject. He has yet to publicize any renderings of his proposed arena, which would be part of a hotel-casino project.
