Las Vegas now has COMPETING NBA bids for expansion team

A multi-billion-dollar development on the Las Vegas Strip includes plans for a “technologically advanced entertainment and sports arena” and several ultra-luxury hotels and residences.
It’s a play to attract an NBA team to Las Vegas, and it’s not the only one. For the past year and a half, the buzz has been building around the NBA coming since LeBron James and Shaquille O’Neal each said they want a piece of a Las Vegas team. A $10 billion project to build a 20,000-seat arena in the south valley made headlines in June of 2023.
The newest project was announced Monday morning by real estate developer LVXP for the 27-acre site known by longtime Las Vegans as the original home of Wet’n’Wild - between the Fontainebleau Las Vegas and SAHARA Las Vegas. The project is described in a news release as “transformational” and would advance the development of the north end of the Strip. Plans call for features including a retail plaza, a state-of-the-art convention space and a “destination” casino.

I've gotta say - props to Vegas. The whole region has become a boom town for sports over the last decade and they just keep expanding even more. Would love to see the A's settle there once they get the Tropicana site figured out and a NBA expansion team to Las Vegas would be such a smart move. I do agree with Brodie though that it seems to make much more sense to have the team play at the T-Mobile Arena.

the Oak View Group headed by Tim Leiwike also spearheaded & did Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle. At first Seattle fans were really skeptical when their plan was to completely renovate what was Key Arena. But they sold their idea that they could finance themselves with bringing an NHL expansion team and down the road return the NBA to Seattle City officials. Once the deal was finalized the NHL came calling. So far everyone in Seattle loves Climate Pledge Arena. & very suitable for basketball too. We all know once the new NBA media deal gets done within the year NBA will announce expansion with Seattle & Las Vegas getting teams.

[@brodiebrazil]

Yep and that’s why they’re probably the front runner here still, no matter what.

Seattle & Las Vegas most certainly will get expansion NBA teams. Sadly growing up as fan of the Knicks when they last won a title, I have lost a lot of interest in basketball. The devaluing of the big man and the emergence of a 3 point chuckfest league is a major turn off. NBA doesn’t care about older fans like me since I’m not in the demographic they care about. Personally I would prefer Seattle Super Sonics and the Kentucky Colonels be resurrected. 3 pt line needs to be pushed back and the court widened.

The NBA team is gonna want their own. If the league wants to move quickly with expansion, they could put the Vegas team there temporarily though until the new arena is done. I'll even safely say, I think the league does want to move quick and you'll likely see the Vegas NBA team play it's first game before the A's play their first in the Sin City.

[@jimt9245]

Las Vegas has been the current Flavor of the month. The Golden Knights with their immediate success are on the top of that mountain. If the MLB and NBA do eventually arrive, will all of these teams has similar success? Or will fan interest be spread thin?

It sounds logical. Some of these owners don't like/don't want to share facilities. That means they would have to share profits and cost. The Raiders didn't have a good relationship with the A's while sharing the Coliseum, which is a part of the reason why they left Oakland for Vegas. Mr. Davis still doesn't like the A's organization to this day. #2 One sport is more popular than the other, which also comes into play. #3 Look at the Bears and White Sox situation in Chicago. The White Sox is requesting the State and the city of Chicago to pay 100% for a new stadium. The Bears is asking the city of Chicago for $2 billion on a $4 billion plus project in Chicago. Both of their current taxpayer funded facilities that they play in are not paid for. Which negates all of this "pie in the sky, delusional " revenue estimates that these organizations make. Which means the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois shouldn't even be having any conversations about spending taxpayer funds on stadiums and arenas. Let them go. Like Arizona let the Coyotes go because that NHL team wasn't generating the projected/expected revenue to justify the expenditures of valuable taxpayer funds. That these teams don't share profits with the public.

Far too many arenas are built along the lines of what you have in Phoenix, Brooklyn, SLC, San Francisco, Inglewood, Atlanta, Charlotte, San Antonio, Orlando, Indianapolis and others I'm forgetting. Which is to say constructed for basketball only instead of what was always traditionally basketball and NHL hockey. And if the NHL has nowhere to play they are SOL. See the Coyotes as proof of that. To be fair the NHL doesn't do anything to help their own cause - not sure why they don't given their still sad dependence on gate revenue in this day and age- otherwise they'd make a case to the city and county that approves said arenas that they should only approve it if its built for NHL hockey too, since hockey plays a lot of games and its fans spend a lot of money. Only benefits the community to get max use out of an arena, especially given how pro teams can relocate. I can guarantee you that the Coyotes would still be in Phoenix right now if there original arena had been designed for NHL hockey too. Oh, and Utah is a nothing market to the NBA.

However, those arenas are approved by the city and county and use public money. And thats where the NHL should make their case to the politicians. It only benefits everyone for those arena to be used to the fullest of their capabilities, and that means they should be built for NHL hockey in mind too. Especially since hockey fans tend to have more money and play the same amount of games as basketball. In other words, dumping money at the arena and in the neighborhood. Benefits everyone.
