The last article I read said they will be breaking ground in January. Looks like a ton of infrastructure work to be done as well, highways and possible monorail system.
Where they plan to build, parking will be extremely limited, monorail to the casinos will be a must.

Not sure if I'd like that. I know it's Vegas but the winds blowing makes our 40 degree weather freezing for me.
If I'm the Hotels/Casinos I'm building that tram. Getting us to stayca night there vs driving home drunk should pay for it.

I've said this before, but I think the land between the southern outlet mall and 15 is a better area. More land and they can build off of B. Diamond snd 15 for access points.

I don't think parking is going to be a problem despite what the media proclaims. Building a multi-level parking garage is one of easiest types of buildings to develop, especially in a town like Vegas that has hundreds of them. Parking garages are cheap to build and can be built very fast. If I owned the land across the street, I'd tear down one of those warehouses and build a parking garage and rent it out to the raiders and to the stadium authority for other events.

Raider themselves are against the parking garage. Cant properly tailgate in a garage. That was one of Mark Davis' few concrete requests.
