The proposal I am referring to would build a 40,000-seat domed stadium and accompanying facilities at UNLV. Last week, the Nevada Board of Regents voted 11-1 to negotiate exclusively with Ed Roski and Craig Cavileer of Majestic Realty. Roski owns the Silverton hotel-casino in Las Vegas and is a part owner of the Los Angeles Lakers. He helped build the Staples Center in L.A. Cavileer is the Silverton’s president. Certainly every developer still seeking to build an arena or stadium in Las Vegas can make a case that his plan is the best. The ones still on the table include the Caesars Entertainment project in the resort corridor, the IDM/Cordish project in downtown’s Symphony Park and the Olympia project at the south end of the valley. But for me, at least, none of them offers the range of community benefits that the UNLV project does. One of the main advantages of the UNLV project is it would bring the university’s football games to the campus where they belong. No more commuting through seven miles of traffic to play at Sam Boyd Stadium. This move would give a tremendous psychological and financial boost to UNLV athletics. — Las Vegas Review-Journal
