To combine these dual inspirational aspects into one cohesive concept, Populous designed a sprawling glass façade on the arena’s northeast side composed of 9,000 square-feet of L.E.D video mesh overlay that interlace with the exterior balconies and culminate in a symbolic representation of the city’s lively energy and zest. ![]() ![]() “This goal heavily dictated how we planned the construction process, and which building materials we finally decided upon.” “It was our mission from the start to bring the opposing aspects of Las Vegas, the Strip and the Desert, to a nexus point in the exterior design of T-Mobile Arena,” said Robert Norvell, associate principal architect at Populous. This is the largest arena Las Vegas has ever built, yet the most ambitious feature of the project is the exterior.

Las Vegas is unlike any other city in America.
