I would have to agree with Canes4life....smh, that is unless UNLV has a miraculous next 2 years. Meaning consistent Top 25 caliber play all season and decent tourney runs the next 2-3 years (hey a man can dream right?)
snyderm,
umm last time I checked the T&M sure isn't concerning the FAA. This Venue will be right next to the T&M and most likely not much higher...The REAL key issue (if this is funded without dipping into state pickets) is what to do with Swenson. McCarran's flight path will be fine.
Otherwise I'm all in for the UNLV project, will definitely enhance the university and community as a whole. In turn it will help OVERALL STUDENT recruitment and retention (not just athletes) which means more money into the city/state and a plus for higher education.
I agree IowaGuy that it's been 10 years since the "nonsense" as you say of trying to create a Silicon Oasis here in LV. But the problem is, it seams the courtship stopped once Zappos arrived. Not to mention a little thing called the dot com crash along with 9/11 which slowed things...Also other projects have become pets i.e. City Center and a Sports Arena.
Our local government hasn't been aggressive enough with bringing/courting these type of Co's in my opinion
IowaGuy,
last time i checked Henderson/Green Valley doesn't need revitalization. This is good for OUR downtown my friend.
If said nearby restaurant next to the current zappos location is a good quality business, a restaurant offering good food and service with good promotion it has the tools to survive.
This is definitely REAL revitalization for Downtown LV. We as a city and its leadership need to continue this type of business courtship and try to make downtown Las Vegas (particularly Fremont East and the arts district) a home for other dot com's, tech/web based companies and innovative start-ups. Create our own mini LV version of silicon valley but a truly exciting environment and area to be located in. Sure this downtown arena idea Goodman stands behind is a "neat" one but it just may not be the right fit for downtown. Instead emphasis should be placed on courting other diverse projects/companies to revitalize the area. Turn it into an eclectic mix of offerings. Corp. headquarters for exiting companies. A home to unique bars, restaurants and lounges, the arts district, the projects in Symphony Park etc"
Come on mayor. I really like ya, but put down the martini glasses and let's get innovative here.
agreed! Unfortunetly its baby steps for us.
..and Kendal made countless more better looks last year.
dhvincent1,
UNLV has a campus in Singapore, so obviously Dr Smatresk was there doing his job. He was at work.
lol! Your hate is strong VegasVegas...
If I'm not mistaken the kid finished high school with his GED. I'm sure you would need that to get into CSN (Junior College)...and sorry but this kid is not an injury away from being like everyone else. His 1st pick contract will be guaranteed and injury or not those millions will already be in his bank account. Bryce could probably pay for college for his whole HS baseball team if he wanted to.
Quit hating my friend!
