Having it within walking distance of the south strip (if they build that pedestrian bridge) would be awesome. Also, Vegas will give new definition to tailgating by doing it with pregame parties in casinos. Plus viewing parties in casinos for games would be awesome.
This would be like adding 8 conventions a year to the Vegas schedule. Mandalay Bay, Luxor, and Excalibur will make a fortune on rooms and those smaller hotels just south of the proposed site on Dean Martin will definitely rake in the money.
My concern would be the traffic on Dean Martin during construction. There was enough closures as they are building more small hotels on Dean Martin behind the Cosmo/Aria but this would kill Dean Martin south of Tropicana for about 2 years plus on game weekends.
I have my name on the $100 reservation list and am hoping for some reasonable PSL prices for the lower level seats if there are still available.
The sad thing is that I'm sure that whoever is in charge will just hire friends and this construction and planning will get botched in a major way and the traffic will be horrible and the stadium will have issues. Las Vegas construction (both single family homes, apartment complexes, and even that building that had to be dismantled by the Cosmo) is horrible so this stadium will be delayed for sure!
