Las Vegas station is the planned northern terminus of Brightline West, a proposed high-speed rail service. The station will be located on the south Las Vegas Strip in the unincorporated town of Enterprise, Nevada. The 33-acre (13 ha) site will feature retail, restaurants, connections to other transportation (including the Vegas Loop), and a large parking garage.[2] Construction is expected to begin on April 22, 2024, with rail operations starting in 2028.[3]

Overview

Location

The two-story station will be situated on a 33-acre (13 ha) site on the west side of Las Vegas Boulevard, between Blue Diamond Road and Warm Springs Road, across from the Las Vegas Premium Outlets South. The surrounding 110 acres (45 ha) provide space for transit-oriented development.[4][5][6]

Entertainment district

Oak View Group plans a 20,000-seat arena on a 25-acre (10 ha) site adjacent to the station.[7] This project is part of a larger 66-acre (27 ha) development envisioned as a sports and entertainment district.[8] According to Tim Leiweke, CEO of Oak View Group, this is a prime location for future growth in Las Vegas' gaming and entertainment corridor.[9]

Previous site considerations

The 2011 project outline explored options near the Rio or Downtown.[10] One of these locations was ultimately approved for Allegiant Stadium.
