UNLV Now started as a modest plan to build an on-campus football stadium, student housing and shopping center. Over the past two years, however, it’s morphed into a 60,000-seat “mega events center” designed to accommodate both college football and large-scale Strip events, such as concerts. In April, UNLV Now parted ways with would-be partner Majestic Realty, and subsequently lost up to $400 million in funding. Currently, it awaits a vote on Assembly Bill 335, which would create a tax district to partially finance the project. Still, additional funding would be needed, and it’s possible that plans for UNLV Now could change significantly.First-year Regent Allison Stephens says the project should stay small, and focus first on building the student village, which would include restaurants, drug and convenience stores and some retail. UNLV Now project leader and former hotel college dean Don Snyder says it’s necessary to partner with Strip resorts and build the stadium first to create public and private interest. Here, the two university leaders share their views.
