All Net Resort and Arena is a planned entertainment complex in Las Vegas. A project of businessman and former basketball player Jackie Robinson, the complex would encompass a resort hotel, a retail and restaurant streetscape, and a multi-purpose indoor arena with a retractable roof. Its location is set on the Strip at the former site of a Wet 'n Wild waterpark, next to the SLS Las Vegas in Winchester, Nevada. Designed by the Cuningham Group, it was planned to open in 2017, but is delayed until 2018 or 2019.

History
Silver State Arena
The idea of turning the abandoned site of a Wet 'n Wild waterpark on Las Vegas Boulevard into a stadium begun in 2010, as Texas-based developer Chris Milan revealed plans for a "Silver State Arena". Milan's company International Development Management would get the 27-acre land from Sue Lowden and her husband Paul, and atop build a 20,000-seat stadium at the cost of $750 million, using about $9 million a year in redevelopment district taxes.[1] The project stalled after had Clark County rejected a proposal to fund 15% of the venue with public money and nearby residents opposed construction.[2] By the following year, the site was changed to nearby the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, where Milam would create a whole sports complex that included new ballpark for the Las Vegas 51s.[3] The plans came to nothing and Milam "walked away" from the baseball deal.[4] Another plan where the Silver State Arena would be near the M Resort in Henderson, financed by Chinese bank partners,[5] but these plans also went nowhere.[6]
All Net Resort & Arena
On 2013, businessman Jackie Robinson, a former UNLV student and NBA player, announced that he was planning on using the same site of the proposed Silver State Arena to build the All Net Resort and Arena, a $1.4 billion privately funded complex encompassing an arena, hotel and shopping project near the SLS Las Vegas and Turnberry Towers that could attract an NBA franchise to Las Vegas.[7] The arena itself would cost $670 million, being operated by Comcast-Spectacor (owners of another NBA stadium, Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center).[8] Designed by the Cuningham Group, it was planned to open in 2017,[9] but is delayed until 2018 or 2019.[10] The 22,800 arena would only be smaller than one arena of the NBA, The Palace of Auburn Hills.[11] The All Net Arena saw its ground breaking ceremony on October 29, 2014,[12] and Robinson wanted to negotiate with Clark County expecting to begin construction.[13] However, given the land is not owned by Robinson and the project hit financing problems, the project was still in limbo as of the end of 2015.[14] Demolition of the property begun on 2016, and Robinson hoped to begin construction soon to get the arena finished in 30 to 36 months.[15]
