A new proposal for the future home of a Las Vegas NBA franchise is setting its sights on the south Strip. According to a release shared Monday, the proposed “Diamond Arena” would be located at the northeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Four Seasons Drive, directly across from Mandalay Bay. The project will feature a 21,212-seat arena design with an entrance directly on the Las Vegas Strip within walking distance to more than 20,000 hotel rooms. “This isn’t just another arena project—it’s a global stage for the NBA,” said Tom Letizia, a spokesman for the Diamond Arena. “The league is looking for a long-term home in Las Vegas, and this site delivers everything needed to define the future.” This comes after the NBA Board of Governors voted to move forward with the bidding process for possible expansion teams in Las Vegas and Seattle. The “Diamond Arena” is the latest proposed site for a future franchise. “It’s moving very quickly,” Letizia said. “But Las Vegas has earned the right to have an NBA franchise in this city.”
