Sport Resort Slated For North Las Vegas

A 4 billion sports resort is in the works in North Las Vegas. A parcel of land next to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway might one day be the site of a 26,000 seat arena, a 5,000 seat aquatic center, an air-conditioned driving range and other sporting related developments. The site would also boast a 150,000 square foot casino, 5,500 hotel rooms, and 10 night clubs.

The complex would target Olympic, amateur and professional sporting events.

Analysts believe the biggest drawback is that the resort would be so far off the Las Vegas Strip and could not draw from the foot traffic on the Las Vegas Strip.
