Description
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.[4] Work began on the station in mid 2025.[5]
Entertainment district
The surrounding 110 acres (45 ha) provide space for transit-oriented development.[6][7] According to Tim Leiweke, CEO of Oak View Group, this is a prime location for future growth in Las Vegas's gaming and entertainment corridor.[8]
Oak View Group plans a 20,000-seat arena on a 25-acre (10 ha) site adjacent to the station.[9] This project is part of a larger 66-acre (27 ha) development envisioned as a sports and entertainment district.[10]
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.[11][12]
Previous site considerations
The 2011 project outline explored options near the Rio or Downtown.[13] One of these locations was ultimately used for Allegiant Stadium.
