Esports Arena Las Vegas, scheduled to open in early 2018, will combine the best of interactive entertainment and Las Vegas nightlife, and become the global epicenter for esports experiences. With design and programming contributions from Allied Esports' enterprises around the world, its North American arm Esports Arena will take the lead in bringing the Las Vegas concept to life. Naming rights opportunities for Esports Arena Las Vegas are also being considered.
"We have very ambitious expansion
plans over the next two years, and when we realized that a location at Luxor
was possible, we jumped at the opportunity to develop our flagship here,"
said Jud Hannigan, CEO of Allied Esports International.
"Just as Yankee Stadium, Madison Square Garden and Wembley Stadium are
considered their sports' most aspirational venues by players and fans alike,
Esports Arena Las Vegas will be the iconic destination in esports and
complement the city's incredible appeal, attracting video gaming competitors
and fans from around the world," Hannigan added.
Esports Arena is working with Luxor and
renowned design firm YWS Design & Architecture to transform the space
currently occupied by a 30,000-square-foot nightclub into a multi-level arena
complete with a competition stage, LED video wall, telescopic seating, daily
gaming stations, a robust food and beverage offering, and state-of-the-art
streaming and television-quality production studios.
The arena will provide a ready-to-go championship destination for tournaments,
leagues and high stakes match-ups in a setting designed to deliver an
unparalleled fan experience.
