A supermajority of Nevada lawmakers on Friday pushed through legislation that will raise the room tax in Clark County to help finance a 65,000-seat domed stadium, clearing the path for the relocation of the NFL’s Oakland Raiders to Las Vegas.
The director of the Nevada Department of Transportation on Friday said the agency will start studying which projects within Clark County should be delayed in order to accelerate freeway improvements surrounding two potential sites for a domed stadium.
Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis is one step closer to getting his NFL team relocated to Las Vegas.
A long-awaited vote on a bill that would increase hotel room taxes to fund a domed stadium and improvements to the Las Vegas Convention Center failed to materialize early Friday morning after a 17-hour Assembly session.
The Nevada Department of Transportation would need to accelerate already-planned projects, including miles of HOV lanes, if a domed football stadium opens by 2019 near the Las Vegas Strip, according to a report released Thursday by Gov. Brian Sandoval’s office.
When it comes to the debate over a $1.9 billion domed football stadium, rural and Northern Nevada tourism leaders aren’t much different from their counterparts in Southern Nevada.
Nevada lawmakers will return to work Thursday as the debate and fate of a bill to help finance a domed stadium and expand the Las Vegas Convention Center moves to the Assembly, where its path to passage could be bumpy.
The process of the Oakland Raiders relocating to Las Vegas took another step forward Tuesday when the Nevada Senate voted 16-5 in favor of Senate Bill 1.
Gov. Brian Sandoval took a break from Carson City politics Tuesday, opening the Nevada Governor’s Global Tourism Summit, receiving applause for his efforts in pursuing construction of a new football stadium in Las Vegas.
The Nevada Senate on Tuesday amended and passed a bill raising room taxes in Clark County to help fund a football stadium and convention center expansion in Las Vegas. The bill now moves to the Assembly.
Gov. Brian Sandoval said Tuesday he is glad lawmakers are asking tough questions about the proposed stadium project and acknowledged that some critics will never be satisfied that it will be good for Nevada’s economic development efforts.
One major professional sports league has broken the ice. Jim Murren, chairman and CEO of MGM Resorts International, said Monday he envisions the NFL and NBA following the NHL to the Las Vegas Strip in the near future.
A rent of $250,000 per game — $1.5 million over a traditional season of six home games — has been floated as a possible number. It’s also a price that falls in line nationally with other college programs that play in NFL stadiums.
A chorus of casino titans and other supporters urged Nevada lawmakers on Monday to support public funding to build a $1.9 billion domed football stadium and expand the Las Vegas Convention Center as a special session began to vet the details of both projects.

‘A great situation’: Raiders moving training camp to Southern California
LISTEN TO THE TOP FIVE HERE

Raiders assistant general manager Champ Kelly discussed numerous topics in a virtual news conference Wednesday, including a claim by Lions’ first-round pick Terrion Arnold.
The Raiders’ decision to move at least part of their training camp from Henderson to Costa Mesa in Southern California does come with a few drawbacks.
The Raiders are escaping the summer heat of Las Vegas for the coastal climate of Costa Mesa after coming to terms on a one-year agreement to hold training camp there.
The Raiders added depth to their offensive line room Monday by reportedly agreeing to contract terms with a former Pro Bowler.
