HOW THIS GUIDE IS BUILT
Research checked October 4, 2026. Primary team, league, venue and public-agency sources are preferred.
The historical guide and event calendar are researched snapshots. The scoreboard refreshes from external feeds, and recent articles are added separately. Ticket availability comes from the linked organisers. Dates and times come from the linked organisers. The calendar is selective and can lag later announcements.
The development section labels projects and events by status. Reporting about a bid or possible opening is not presented as a final league award. Analysis is identified by its context under “Why it matters”.
ArenaLV directs visitors to official team, venue or organiser information. Ticket availability and prices are set there. ArenaLV is independent and does not sell tickets or represent these organisations.
Editorial links and curated historical references were checked on October 5, 2026. Unavailable Thomas & Mack pages now use readable captures of the official pages; publisher redirects have been updated. Subscription and library-login links are labelled. A working publisher page does not guarantee unrestricted article access or video playback.
View the link-check record. The thousands of individual game-result links in the bulk database have not all been rechecked in this pass.
Open scans and readable captures come first. A Wayback capture date is not the date of the original event or article. Access labels reflect what was retrieved on October 4, 2026.

The reading room adds Sports Illustrated, The Ring, Motor Sport, Golf Digest, Tennis, The New Yorker and Wired, alongside official histories and the local newspaper archive. It contains 42 original ArenaLV reading notes and 8 thematic features. Dates distinguish an event from an original print issue, web republication or retrospective.
Summaries are written for ArenaLV and link to the original source. Magazine articles are summarized rather than reproduced. Venue photograph credits are listed below. A publisher may require a subscription. The older ARGENT bibliography remains a separately labelled finding aid.
ArenaLV uses the same historical source foundation as ARGENT: the Las Vegas Sun, Las Vegas Review-Journal, UNLV Special Collections, Nevada Public Radio, Las Vegas Advisor, the Mob Museum and specialist business reporting. Relevant public sports references have been selected from that collection; the publisher retains the original material.
The date archive contains 9,056 distinct event records plus magazine notes and historical references. Inspect coverage and download the database. A publication date, catalog date and event date are different things. Bibliography references are finding aids and have not been independently checked against the full original newspaper article. Approximate dates stay in the full archive and never become invented day-specific anniversaries. Source access may require a subscription or an archive account.
