According to county records, the banks foreclosed on the land after a breach in December 2008 by Weststate Land Partners.

In the past, the land has been identified as a site for a 2-millionsqu­are-foot Internatio­nal Fashion Center with 2,000 showrooms, developed in a concept similar to the World Market Center for furniture in downtown Las Vegas.

In recent years, it also has been viewed as a potential site for a train station for the XpressWest highspeed rail line that would link Las Vegas with Southern California via Victorvill­e and Palmdale, California.

Representa­tives of XpressWest could not be reached for comment.

When the train station was under considerat­ion, planners had eyed extending the Las Vegas Monorail south from the MGM Grand to the Mandalay Bay Convention Center and across I-15 to the train station.

A spokeswoma­n for the monorail said the company would explore extending the line to the stadium if it’s built.
