A new arena proposal has entered the increasingly crowded fray to become the home of a Las Vegas NBA team.
Las Vegas Diamond Arena would be located on the south end of the Strip at the northeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Four Seasons Drive, across from Mandalay Bay, said Tom Letizia, a spokesman for the project.
"This isn't just another arena project -- it’s a global stage for the NBA," Letizia said. "The league is looking for a long-term home in Las Vegas, and this site delivers everything needed to define the future."

The Department of Public Works reported on the aging infrastructure of the old recreation center in 2010, and by 2016, Measure P passed, which funded $2.1 million annually towards the renovation and construction of a new recreation and swim complex. The unique site was possible to use through the collaboration of El Dorado County, which agreed to adjust county lines.
