RENO, Nev. (AP) — The University of Nevada’s basketball team could have a new off-campus home by 2026 under an ambitious 10-year expansion plan that Reno’s largest hotel-casino announced Wednesday.
The nearly $1 billion private capital investment will be the biggest in the city's history, according to officials of the Grand Sierra Resort.
Before that, the team played at the Reno-Sparks convention center south of downtown.
It's been the Grand Sierra Resort since 2006.
Last year, Las Vegas hosted Sweet 16 games for the NCAA basketball tournament at T-Mobile Arena on the Vegas Strip.
