$4 Billion off-strip Sports Resort Planned.

California developer Matt A. Rose announced plans for a $4 Billion sports-themed resort off-strip near the Las Vegas Speedway. The Ultimate Sports Resort will enjoy a 5,500-Room resort featuring ten separate sports arenas; “creating a global sports mecca in North Las Vegas.”

The project is based on a hybrid casino-destination-sports business model. In fact, the final name of the resort will be determined through a naming rights deal similar to those recently associated with stadium, arena and title sponsorships in sports. The resort will provide sports-minded consumers with unparalleled access to watch sports, play sports, test state-of-the-art sports equipment and enjoy the finest assembly of sports memorabilia, collectibles and trading cards. In addition, visitors can purchase the widest range of sports-related products in the world.

Among the amenities, the world’s largest hotel with 5,500 guest rooms including 4,000 affordable fixed-rate rooms, 1,000 luxury suites and 500 ultra-luxury suites. The 150,000 square-foot casino will include a 50,000 square feet glass-enclosed Smoke-Free gaming area and 750,000 square feet of convention space. The 10 arenas and numerous training areas will be capable of supporting every sport imaginable. The resort will have in-door batting cages, a climate-controlled golf driving range, rock climbing walls, racquetball courts, a state-of-the-art gym, billiard room, bowling alleys and other attractions too numerous to mention.
