Overview

Location

The two-story station will be situated on a 33-acre (13 ha) site on the west side of Las Vegas Boulevard, between Blue Diamond Road and Warm Springs Road, across from the Las Vegas Premium Outlets South. The surrounding 110 acres (45 ha) provide space for transit-oriented development.[4][5][6]

Entertainment district

Oak View Group plans a 20,000-seat arena on a 25-acre (10 ha) site adjacent to the station.[7] This project is part of a larger 66-acre (27 ha) development envisioned as a sports and entertainment district.[8] According to Tim Leiweke, CEO of Oak View Group, this is a prime location for future growth in Las Vegas' gaming and entertainment corridor.[9]

Wes Edens, cofounder of Fortress Investment Group and Brightline founder, had originally expressed interest in having a Major League Soccer team based in Las Vegas as an expansion along with a soccer-specific stadium adjacent to the station. The stadium could have a capacity of at least 25,000 spectators and have the potential team name of the Las Vegas Villains.[10][11]

Previous site considerations

The 2011 project outline explored options near the Rio or Downtown.[12] One of these locations was ultimately approved for Allegiant Stadium.
