Rosentraub Bruce and Joan Bickner Endowed Professor of Sport Management Michael B. Cantor Research Associate Alison Wasserman Research Assistant And Hobbs, Ong and Associates Las Vegas, Nevada Public Financial Management Seattle, Washington RCG Economics LLC Las Vegas, Nevada 1 1 Introduction The Las Vegas metropolitan area (Las Vegas MSA) is one of the three major urban centers in the United States that is not home to a large-scale (55,000 or more seat) mega-events center. In Southern Nevada a state-of-the-art facility to adequately serve the community must also be covered so spectators can comfortably attend mega-events in every season. The absence of a covered mega-events center in the Las Vegas region is even more surprising when one considers the vital role of special events (e.g., conventions, sporting events, and live shows) in advancing Southern Nevada’s internationally dominant hospitality and tourism industry. Las Vegas has the infrastructure required to host the two largest conventions held each year in the United States simultaneously but lacks a world-class and covered mega-events center.1 An all-weather (air conditioned and heated) covered mega-events center located close to the region’s concentration of hotels and gaming venues will bring new events to Las Vegas that create real (or new) economic development.
