A significant new development may soon rise on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip, transforming the former Wet ‘n’ Wild waterpark site into a luxurious multi-use destination. Proposed by developer LVXP, this 27-acre project envisions a sprawling complex with a casino, high-end resort, retail outlets, a convention center, and an NBA-ready arena, catering to both locals and tourists.
LVXP submitted the plans to the Clark County Commission, with designs showcasing three sleek silver-and-gold high-rise towers surrounding an 18,000-seat arena equipped with panoramic LED displays. The project promises to be one of the Strip’s most exciting transformations, further solidifying Las Vegas as a hub for entertainment and sports events, especially with the NBA’s potential expansion.
High-End Towers and Digital Concourse Feature
The planned towers will house 2,605 luxury hotel and condominium units, anchored by a 6,000-seat theater, Sky Casino, and Sky Lounge. The tallest tower, reaching 752 feet, will make it the second tallest structure on the Strip, just behind Fontainebleau. Anchoring the development, a “Digital Concourse” will guide visitors through a network of retail, dining, and gaming experiences. Planning documents highlight the variety of attractions that “will be tied together via the Digital Concourse,” offering a dynamic, immersive experience across the property.
The architectural designs come from Paul Steelman of Steelman Partners, a celebrated Las Vegas designer known for iconic projects in the city. Steelman’s vision embraces the blend of luxury and spectacle, setting a new standard for integrated resort design.
As part of the public approval process, the Winchester Town Advisory Board will review LVXP’s proposal in a public session, giving community members the chance to share their views. The Clark County Commission will also review the project as part of the final approval process.
Though Las Vegas has shown strong interest in attracting an NBA team, no commitments have been made by the league. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver noted that expansion is not guaranteed, despite high demand from cities like Las Vegas and Seattle. Meanwhile, other NBA-ready venues in Las Vegas add to the competition. Oak View Group’s proposed 20,000-seat arena south of the Strip and MGM Resorts’ T-Mobile Arena, already home to the Vegas Golden Knights, could also serve as potential venues for an NBA team. The new LVXP project, if approved, would add another compelling option to the mix.
