Las Vegas Raiders?
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14...ng-leaked-memo

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- While a leaked memo from UNLV president Len Jessup said representatives of the Oakland Raiders will be in Las Vegas on Friday to check out potential stadium sites, team owner Mark Davis would offer only a cryptic comment.

"In typical Raider fashion," Davis said with a laugh over the phone from the Bay Area, "I can neither confirm nor deny."

Davis will be in Las Vegas and is scheduled to meet with Las Vegas Sands Chairman and CEO Sheldon Adelson, Sands spokesman Ron Reese confirmed.

The Sands Corp. announced Thursday that it was lending its support to build a $1 billion domed stadium on a vacant 42 acres of land recently purchased by UNLV near the corner of Tropicana Avenue and Koval Lane across from McCarran International Airport.

"Correspondingly, the Sands leadership team let us know that officials from the Oakland Raiders are scheduled to travel to Las Vegas and tour locations around the valley for a potential new home, and they have asked us to meet them at our 42-acre site on Friday morning to answer questions about that site," Jessup wrote in the memo, which was reported earlier by Nevada political reporter Jon Ralston.

UNLV is looking for a new home for its football program, which has played at 35,500-seat Sam Boyd Stadium some nine miles from campus on the eastern edge of the city since 1971.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Los Angeles-based Majestic Realty Co. and UNLV are involved in the conceptual plans, and Las Vegas Sands senior vice president of government relations and community development Andy Abboud said the project would be a "public-private" partnership, with the Sands or the Adelson family contributing a large portion of the financing.

"He said the casino company, which operates the Venetian and Palazzo [casinos], as well as casinos in Macau, Singapore and Pennsylvania, could also raise financing for the project," the Review-Journal reported.

Tony Sanchez, UNLV's head football coach, said "having an on-campus, state-of-the-art stadium would be huge."

"We have a nice stadium now; the location is just a little further out," said Sanchez, who grew up a die-hard Raiders fan in the Bay Area. "To have something on campus, right in the heart of Las Vegas, would change the entire game-day atmosphere. We're right near the Strip. People can walk or take public transportation. It would be a great addition for the city."

Davis has long stated that remaining in Oakland is his primary goal, but after being rebuffed in an attempt to move to Los Angeles and join the Chargers in a joint-stadium project in nearby Carson, the Raiders do not have a lease for a home stadium for the 2016 season. They do have the option to join the Rams in Inglewood should the Chargers decline.

It is expected that the Raiders will play at least the 2016 season in Oakland. They have also been linked to San Diego, should the Chargers go to Los Angeles, for the following years as well as to San Antonio.

The NFL has had a hard line against Las Vegas, and it is hard to see the league signing off on allowing a team to relocate to the gambling capital of the country. The NFL did not respond immediately to a request for comment.

Las Vegas has chased a major league franchise for almost two decades, including MLB and NBA teams. The city appears close to getting an NHL team in under-construction T-Mobile Arena between the New York-New York and Monte Carlo casinos.

And while Las Vegas may be a relatively small media market at No. 41 nationally, it is bigger than four other current NFL markets in Jacksonville (No. 48), New Orleans (No. 51), Buffalo (No. 52) and Green Bay (No. 68), per last year's Nielsen data.

That area, not good, but Motel 6 there is not bad. No frills, and it's clean. $55 a night (no resort fee) compared to $150+ a night at a low end strip hotel. Other hotels around there are not very clean, such as the America's Best Value Inn. As long as it's clean and has parking close, all I care about. I sleep there 5 hours a night when I'm in Vegas, which is usually just to play poker. Otherwise if I'm with the GF or friends I'll stay at Venetian, Aria or Bellagio. But when I'm by myself, I GNFs where I stay.

Last year I stayed at the Motel 6 there, and then 10 days later some friends showed up and I stayed at Bellagio for 4 days. From bed bugs to riches lol

That is where I stay when I go on long trips to LV without friends. Super duper cheap and clean. No resort scam (fee). Easy in and out with rental car.
Resort fees are the biggest ripoff in America today, if you exclude stuff that Hillary Clinton is involved with.

Yep. And they keep going up each year. Aria is charging $35.86 this year. The entire strip has doubled their resort fees in the last 2 years. You used to be able to just request to have them removed and they'd do it. Not anymore. I guess if you are a high roller like Simply Red, and have a diamond card or whatever top tier card, they will remove 'em. Starting June 1st, MGM properties are even going to start charging $10 - $20 for SELF PARK. Ugh.

Just wait until the new stadium is built.

It'll cost non-residents even more money.

I think this couldn't have worked out any better for me, a Los Angeles resident from KC. The Rams are in LA and I don't mind cheering for them, it somehow is okay because they aren't a rival and it sort of screws St. Louis in the process which is an added benefit.

Simultaneously if San Diego builds a beautiful new stadium in Gaslamp and the Raiders build a stadium on the bodies of dead hookers next to Hooters that means I can watch two games every year in San Diego and Vegas, two vacations I go on every year anyway.

I'd be ecstatic.

i think an nfl team would make a killing in vegas

tourists and conferences can fill half the stadium 8 times a year, easy

definitely be less of a home team environment, but a money machine..how fun would it be to drink and gamble, go to an nfl game, then drink and gamble some more?

Are the citizens of Las Vegas dick-hole enough to be the Raiders' home? It's hard to find the density of assholes like you can in Oakland, so I'm not sure they can remain the Raiders.
