LAS VEGAS, Nevada — The renderings sure look pretty.

Whether developer LVXP can finance this proposed arena/hotel/condo project on 26 acres on the north Strip at the old Wet ‘N’ Wild site is a whole different manner. Based on the scope of the project, it looks like it will be in the billion-dollar range.

For the record, the Clark County commissioners, acting as zoning commissioners, Wednesday waived some development standards like increasing the proposed driveway width along Las Vegas Boulevard related to the proposed arena project.

As you can see from the county’s backup material, LVXP wants to build 2,344 hotel rooms and 261 condominium units on the 26.33-acre site on the east side of the Strip just south of Sahara Avenue. The building height is 752 feet.

LVSportBiz.com’s most recent story on the project was three weeks ago when Steelman Partners CEO Paul Curtis Steelman, of Las Vegas, released renderings and a video on social media showing an NBA arena connected to the hotel resort on the Strip.

Steelman offered this post in response to the county’s action:

The county furnished this info on the meeting agenda.

Here’s the site:

This is the site where Las Vegas businessman/former UNLV basketball player Jackie Robinson unsuccessfully tried to build an arena and non-gambling hotel.

The LVXP arena-hotel proposal 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 project. He has yet to publicize any renderings of his proposed arena, which would be part of a hotel-casino project.

The NBA will likely award Las Vegas a franchise. And the NBA in-season tournament semifinals and finals will be at T-Mobile Arena Dec. 14-17, with the annual NBA Summer League at Thomas & Mack Center in July.
