West Tropicana land emerges as leading contender for Las Vegas stadium site
A portion of more than 100 acres on West Tropicana Avenue west of Interstate 15 has emerged as a leading contender as a site for the proposed $1.45 billion, 65,000-seat domed football stadium.
Representatives of Red Rock Resorts Inc. on Thursday confirmed that the Wild Wild West Gambling Hall & Hotel, about a half-mile west of I-15, is in the running as a potential site for the stadium proposed as a public-private partnership by Las Vegas Sands Inc., Majestic Realty and the Oakland Raiders.
“We are always considering alternatives with respect to the potential use and/or development of our 100 acres of property located adjacent to the Strip, which we believe is one of the premier undeveloped sites in Las Vegas,” Richard Haskins, president of Red Rock Resorts Inc., said in a statement issued late Thursday. “As such, we would welcome a discussion with the appropriate parties regarding the possible sale of a portion of that property for purposes of developing a stadium.”
The site joins a list of four locations under consideration after plans to use 42 acres at Tropicana Avenue and Koval Lane hit a setback last week.
