Good News For Downtown Las Vegas

From the Las Vegas Sun: The Las Vegas Wranglers are heading to the city’s very core, the famous hotel at 1 Main Street.
Wranglers President Billy Johnson said today that Las Vegas’ entrant in the ECHL has reached an agreement with owners of the Plaza in downtown Las Vegas to play its home games in a leased facility to be built on that property for five years beginning with the 2014-15 season in October.
The yet-unnamed venue will seat about 3,500 fans, though its final design might change that figure. It will be built on the fifth-level pool and event deck of the resort, on existing space connecting the two hotel towers. Fans would park at the Plaza parking garage or in the hotel’s surface lot, and there is access to that space from both towers.  http://www.lasvegassun.com/blogs/kats-report/2014/feb/14/wranglers-search-new-home-vegas-ends-plaza/
This is a win-win for both the casino and the Wranglers.
The Plaza wins by getting more people downtown and to their casino/hotel.
The Wranglers win by gaining a new site that will be brand name casino and a more intimate setting.
So, congratulations to the Las Vegas Wranglers and the Paza or striking a deal now.
