Virgin Trains USA has submitted plans for its Las Vegas station.
Documents submitted to the Clark County Commissioners office indicate the Las Vegas terminal will be built on 110 acres on South Las Vegas Boulevard across from the South Premium Outlets.
The 273,300 square-foot station would be a 15 minute drive from the Las Vegas strip. Plans also call for a parking garage adjacent to the station.
Virgin has proposed establishing a high-speed rail service between Las Vegas and Southern California that would eventually serve Los Angeles.
The documents submitted for Virgin indicated that construction of the route is expected to begin later this year with service getting underway in 2023.
The Las Vegas terminal will contain a departure lobby, space for retail businesses and a baggage claim area.
