The Ultimate Sports Resort
Yet another theme hotel has announced plans to build in Las Vegas. California developer Matt A. Rose wants to build what he’s calling The Ultimate Sports Resort on a plot of land eight miles off the Strip in North Las Vegas. The resort would include a 26,000-seat arena, a 5,000-seat aquatic center, an air-conditioned driving range, as well as a 150,000-square-foot casino, 5,500 hotel rooms and 10 nightclubs. The $4 billion project still needs major investor backing before sports fans can get excited about the possibility of this athletic mega-plex making it in Vegas.
