Las Vegas Mayor Shelley Berkley plans to meet with NBA commissioner Adam Silver next week to pitch downtown as the possible site for a professional basketball arena.
“Next week I have Zoom meeting with Adam Silver, who’s the head of the NBA and I want to welcome him, tell him about my basketball past, and I just know this is going to be so extraordinary for our city,” Berkley said during a Thursday news conference.
During the Zoom with Silver, Berkley plans to pitch a site in downtown that she thinks would be a perfect fit for an NBA arena, noting Clark County has become a hub of the pro sports action.
