UNLV2001

Don't be so condensation

UNLV Basketball = Larry Johnson, Armen Gilliam, Shawn Marion - For their NBA careers, but could easily add a few more names UNLV Football = Randall Cunningham, Mike Thomas, Keenan McCardell - Thomas was NFL Offensive ROY in 1975 when UNLV was a D-II program UNLV Baseball = Matt Williams, Ryan Ludwick, Bryson Stott (Currently with Phillies & could have a strong career) - Could have added Cecil Fielder, but he was at UNLV only 1 season

Their success should serve as a model for water conservation worldwide. Between 2002 and 2022, in response to the “megadrought” affecting nearby Lake Mead, southern Nevada reduced its overall water use by 26% even as the population grew by 750,000 people. Innovations and programs by the government of Nevada need to be exported to mitigate water loss in both rural and urban regions globally.

If the NBA lands in LV before a new arena is ready, then T-Mobile would work with some scheduling & could always use the T&M which has hosted NBA in the past as an emergency option - The development isn't just the arena, it's a full blown hotel/casino/arena/with entertainment district

With the number of events & things that come thru Vegas...........a new NBA caliber arena could be useful, especially if LV does land an NBA expansion team..........T-Mobile might have trouble scheduling NHL & NBA 41 + games then host some WNBA, UFC & other events Some of the older less modern arean's could suffer like the Orleans Arena -- It's a U shaped set up with no seating on one end. About the only thing it hosts that I know of are the WCC & WAC BB tournaments and maybe some high school state playoff games -- I'm sure it does some concerts and some other events but it's probably showing it's age THis first link give you a good look at the arena interior https://www.google.com/maps/@36.1059142,-115.2022269,3a,90y,25.65h,110.57t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sAF1QipMvZjhU5pyaxqDXcHZAXfGZ7PNVAsnwuZm6-iSJ!2e10!3e12!7i10000!8i5000?entry=ttu https://orleans.boydgaming.com/entertain/entertainment-calendar#event-search_e=0&event-search_event category=Orleans Arena

Guess you haven't been following - Today the Mrs was looking at Henderson - so today I gave some Hendo what if's

Quite a few make the drive in to LV from Pahrump !! But Pahrump is sort of like Mohave County AZ --

Commutes from Henderson can vary over to Meadows Mall - But you being from the PHX area might not fine our commutes as long as what they could be in the PHX area This map is from east Hendo, out towards Lake Las Vegas & Lake Mead National Rec Area This would be south Henderson out towards Boulder City This would be Southwest Henderson which is a massive growth area of master planned developments - which is pretty much all new in the last 5 years

Henderson is where i've been for 30 years

Nellis can be noisy also..........plus as mentioned you are isolated & have to go thru some seedy areas to get anywhere

If one is old enough (this geezer is) to remember when the T&M opened the last two/three rows of the upper deck were bench seats ......then those were removed for individual seats which might have cut capacity a few seats ..........but the remodels for the IHL Thunder to fit an ice surface in took more seats (even then the ice was about 5-10ft short of regulation taking the space out of the middle of the ice) .........then came the ADA type upgrades and eventually the T&M went from 18,500 down to the 17,500 maybe 18,000 seat range I noticed Rebel BB games this season has some of the lower deck seats pushed back to free up floor space for some reason ?!?!
