There’s still a long way to go, but the prospect of a flashy, arena-anchored entertainment district rising in Dallas with a resort-style casino — a dream envisioned by Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and other deep-pocketed backers — is generating a lot of conversation.

“Project ideas like this are exciting because in many ways, it’s about the art of the possible,” said Barry Hand, a principal in the Dallas office of architecture firm Gensler, as well as its regional mixed-use practice area leader.
