Beyond that, it's a service industry town. There was 25%+ unemployment after the 2008 crash, plus housing prices plunged causing the most defaulted mortgages per capita in the US.

Their state government won't build a $1 billion dollar stadium and I can't see how they could possibly fill a 70,000 seat stadium on a consistent bases, let alone pay for PSL's.

This is a complete non-starter.

Private/public partnership with two big hitters and UNLV.

Adelson’s plan would put a 65,000-seat domed stadium on 42 acres of land north of McCarran International Airport and east of the city’s famous Strip. UNLV’s football team plays in the smaller Sam Boyd Stadium in Whitney, Nevada, further east of the Strip.

The new stadium could be financed with a combination of public and private money, Reese said. It could include Adelson’s personal money as well as financing secured by hotel taxes, he said. Sands and the university are working with Majestic Realty Co.’s Ed Roski, who had previously sought an NFL team for land he owns east of Los Angeles.
