Soccer might be heading to Sin City.

The city of Las Vegas, The Cordish Companies and Findlay Sports & Entertainment issued a press release on Tuesday outlining plans for a soccer-specific stadium in downtown Las Vegas. The plans are contingent on MLS approving a team in the city.

The stadium would be located in the city of Las Vegas’s downtown Symphony Park area and the total project cost, including interest on bonds, would be $410 million. Sixty-nine percent of that would be privately funded and 31 percent would come from public sources. The statement says that the public funding would mostly come from taxes collected on tourists and from public infrastructure funds.

Again, all these plans are contingent on MLS approving Las Vegas. But with plans for a soccer-specific stadium already in place, it’s hard to imagine the league won’t seriously consider it.

One thing, though: MLS plays its season in the summer. Las Vegas wants to host outdoor games there in August? Good luck.
