In a city known for its skyline that never sleeps, a new project aims to push the boundaries of the Las Vegas Strip to unprecedented heights. Dubbed LVXP, the ambitious resort-arena complex proposes the addition of three towering high-rises that would claim the title of the tallest occupied structures in Nevada.

reports that the proposed buildings would stand 752 feet tall, surpassing the current record-holder, Fontainebleau Las Vegas, by a mere 15 feet.
With an array of amenities within its blueprints, the LVXP project is designed to be a sprawling multiplex of luxury and entertainment. According to

, included in the filings with Clark County are plans for 2,605 hotel and condominium units, a 6,000-seat “Grand Theater,” and an 18,000-seat multipurpose arena. Aimed at attracting not only tourists but also potentially a professional NBA team to the desert city, the project represents a bold vision for the future of Las Vegas hospitality and sport.
The LVXP isn’t merely a reimagining of accommodations and sports facilities; it also envisions a casino, various retail and food and beverage venues, expansive pool and recreational areas, a spa, health clubs, and a significantly sized parking garage. Drawing attention towards the project’s vast potential, the developers are slated to present their vision to the Winchester Town Advisory Board tomorrow, as per

. The meeting will play a crucial role in determining the proceeding steps for the initiative.
Steelman Partners has been tasked with the architectural design for the resort, which showcases sweeping silver and gold glass on its curtain wall system. A particular highlight is Tower C, which boasts a unique curved exterior. As reported by

, the development team includes notable figures like James R. Frasure, CEO with a background at D.R. Horton, and Nick Tomasino, former head of construction at the Sphere. Working behind the design is Paul Steelman, whose prior engagements in Las Vegas set a promising precedent for the LVXP project.
Despite prior failures on the same plot of land with the All Net Arena project led by former UNLV basketball player Jackie Robinson, the current team is looking to write a different story. The same parcel of land between the Sahara Las Vegas and Fontainebleau, once home to the Wet N Wild Water Park, is now poised for a transformation that has been decades in the making. The history of the site, which includes remnants of the water park buried beneath the surface, adds another layer of depth to the ongoing narrative of Las Vegas’ ever-evolving landscape.
With county staff recommending approval and the involvement of seasoned Las Vegas hotel operators Paul and Sue Lowden through Archon Corporation, the LVXP project appears to be on solid ground. A further stamp of approval from the Federal Aviation Administration is required due to the proposed heights; nevertheless, if green-lit, shovels could hit the ground in early 2025 with an anticipated completion date sometime in 2029, signaling a new era for the Las Vegas Strip.
