  • Stadiums, Arenas and Events Centers
    Stadiums, Arenas and Events Centers As legalized gaming has spread throughout the United States and the around the world, Las Vegas has diversified its non-gaming offerings to continue to attract visitors as a world-class tourist destination. Special events, such as concerts and sporting events, play an increasingly larger role in the diversity of the visitor experience, and those events are frequently hosted by a handful of high-capacity venues such as stadiums, arenas and events centers. After building 60,000 rooms during the past two decades, Las Vegas is now building reasons to fill them – stadiums, arenas and events centers are key element of that shift. Large-Capacity Multi-Purpose Venues in Southern Nevada Maximum Year Venue Capacity Built Sam Boyd Stadium 40,000* 1971 T-Mobile Arena 20,000 2016 Thomas & Mack Center 18,500 1983 MGM Grand Garden Arena 16,800 1993 Mandalay Bay Events Center 12,000 1999 Cashman Field 10,000 1983 Orleans Arena 9,000 2003 * Sam Boyd Stadium capacity ranges from 36,000 to 40,000 depending on seating arrangement Today, special events play a larger role in attracting visitors to Las Vegas than just a decade ago. In 2004, 4 percent of visitors cited a special event as the primary reason for their visit, a number that had been relatively unchanged for years before and after, according the annual visitor profile survey by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (“LVCVA”). That figure has climbed higher in recent years, reaching 9 percent in 2013 before settling at 7 percent in 2014.

  • 1 U.S. Geological Survey Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program Final
    U.S. Geological Survey Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program Final Technical Report Estimating Uncertainties of Seismic Hazard Parameters for Nevada Faults, Formations of a Nevada Quaternary Fault Working Group, and Gaining Consensus Fault Parameters Grant Award No. 06HQAG0126 Craig M. dePolo Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology University of Nevada, Reno, NV 89557 (775) 784-6691 (775) 784-1709 FAX [email protected] Program Element: 1 Key Words: Paleoseismology, Quaternary Fault Behavior, Trench Investigations Abstract Twenty-two nationally recognized scientists, known as the Nevada Quaternary Fault Working Group, assembled and reviewed the current status of research on several of Nevada’s high risk faults, recommended seismic hazard values for faults when possible, and recommended future directions of research on major faults in Nevada. The Working Group met for two days in Reno and reviewed twelve of Nevada’s high-risk faults. Background reports for each fault were distributed to the scientists before the meeting. At the meeting each fault was reviewed, including relevant reports and studies, any known paleoearthquake history, estimated fault slip rates, estimated earthquake recurrence intervals, earthquake segmentation models, and estimated single-event displacements. The working group found that Nevada was still in the early stages of characterizing most of its high-risk faults, and more research and age determinations are needed to constrain seismic hazard parameters. Consequently, it was difficult for the group to determine many consensus fault parameters. The working group did, however, make a series of recommendations to help gain more information so that consensus values can be attained in the future. A follow-up meeting was strongly recommended by the group to review other high risk faults in Nevada, prioritize faults to be studied, and continue making recommendations for important studies.
