![]() Plans were further fleshed out over the following months with the announcement of a $100-million pedestrian shopping area, The Park, to serve as a gateway to the arena, and the retention of prominent sports architecture firm Populous to design the project. MGM and AEG announced their joint arena plan on March 1, 2013. This attracted AEG primarily for not relying on public funding. AEG eventually backed out completely by 2012, once MGM Resorts International came up with their own project using a terrain behind the New York-New York and Monte Carlo resorts. However, given the financing would require a special taxation district, opposition from Clark County regarding using public money in the project stalled it even further. In 2010, the plans were changed to use an area behind the Imperial Palace. The original plans were to break ground in June 2008 and finish the arena in 2010, but by 2009, it was revealed that the stalled project had not even done a traffic study despite being located near a busy intersection. ![]() Through the following year, Harrah's became uncertain on continuing with the project, not knowing if AEG would split the costs, and whether building a major league-ready stadium without a guaranteed franchise to play on it would be feasible given the enduring financial crisis. Caesars Entertainment had previously envisioned using the location to build a baseball park, but the company's buyout by Harrah's cancelled the plans. In 2007, the joint venture announced they would build a 20,000 seat stadium behind the Bally's and Paris casino-hotels. The Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) first tried to build an arena in Las Vegas in association with Harrah's Entertainment. MMA promoter Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) signed a long-term tenancy agreement with T-Mobile Arena in 2017, under which it agreed to host four events per-year over the next seven years. The arena has also hosted various combat sport events, including mixed martial arts (MMA), boxing, and professional wrestling. T-Mobile Arena has hosted various sports and entertainment events, with the latter including concerts, award shows, and beauty pageants. A joint venture between MGM Resorts International and Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), T-Mobile Arena is situated on the Las Vegas Strip behind the New York-New York and Park MGM casino hotels. Opened on April 6, 2016, it is the home arena of the Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League (NHL). T-Mobile Arena is a multi-purpose indoor arena in Paradise, Nevada.
