The 110-acre (45 ha) station site is on the south Las Vegas Strip.[3] The two-story station will feature retail and restaurant space, areas for connecting transportation, as well as a 2,400-space parking garage.[4] Construction permits were acquired in March 2020 by Brightline, construction is expected to begin in the second half of 2023, and the station is expected to open in the second half of 2024.[5][6] Located on the west side of Las Vegas Boulevard between Robindale Road and El Dorado Lane, the site is across from the Premium Outlets South mall.[1] On March 30, 2022, Oak View announced a 20,000-seat arena in Las Vegas on an adjacent 25-acre site (10 ha) south of the station.[7]
