Where it stands
The newest verifiable public action is December 4, 2024, when Clark County waived development standards and granted use permits, design reviews and waivers (LVSportsBiz; CDC Gaming). No 2025 or 2026 construction activity could be confirmed, and nothing more recent is on the record in the sources we have.
The project covers 26.33 acres on the former Wet 'n Wild and All Net site and is planned as three towers with 2,605 units, an 18,000-seat NBA-ready arena and a 6,000-seat theater, with Steelman Partners on resort design and AECOM on the arena (LVSportsBiz; LVXP). The FAA cleared height restrictions in November 2024 (Las Vegas Review-Journal), and the LVCVA bulletin lists opening as TBD (LVCVA).
Approvals and public record
Clark County granted use permits, design reviews and waivers on December 4, 2024, conditioned on a decommissioning plan and a performance agreement being obtained before a building permit can issue (LVSportsBiz). The case numbers are not listed in the sources we have.
What is not known
No financing has been disclosed, and it is not public whether the decommissioning plan and performance agreement required before any building permit have been filed (LVSportsBiz). No construction cost or general contractor is named, and the case numbers for the December 2024 actions are not listed in the sources we have.
Why it matters
The pre-permit conditions are the point: a decommissioning plan and a performance agreement have to be on file before a building permit can issue, so the entitlement alone does not put the site in the permit queue. For the North Strip, that is the difference between an approved 26-acre plan and a construction site.
