The Henderson City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved an agreement to begin exclusively negotiating with the Vegas Golden Knights to bring an ice rink complex to the city’s downtown district.
An early proposal calls for an arena similar to the Knights’ existing practice arena in Summerlin, housing two ice rinks, a restaurant, office space and retail space. Tuesday’s vote gives the city 180 days to work out further details with the team for the land and construction of the complex.
Current plans call for an arena to occupy 3.2 acres on the site of the Henderson Convention Center at Water Street and Atlantic Avenue.
