Title: City OKs Plan to Study Downtown Arena, Entertainment District
Abstract: Las Vegas, NV — The City Council has voted unanimously to enter into an exclusive agreement with the Cordish Company of Baltimore to study the prospects of building an arena, a casino/hotel and an entertainment district on a 20-acre piece of land that houses the current city hall. The sports arena could conceivably lure an NBA or an NHL team to locate in Las Vegas. The exclusive negotiation agreement gives the Cordish Company two years to study the feasibility of the proposed building projects. Mayor Oscar Goodman stated that many people who relocate to Las Vegas start identifying more with the community thanks to the nationally ranked UNLV Rebels basketball team; building an arena and an entertainment district would extend that sense of community, he said.
