A New Arena — With a Restaurant, Nightclub and More

THE STRIP — Vegas is about to get a $1.3 billion 22,000-seat arena from former UNLV and NBA basketball player Jackie Robinson. What it will host? Who knows, but basketball, hockey, boxing, rodeos and concerts have been bandied about. Attached, a resort that includes a restaurant and nightclub as well as retail, all breaking ground between the defunct skeleton of Fontainebleu and SLS on the north end of the Strip.
