On Tuesday, the Nevada legislature completed step 1 of 2 in approving funding for a new stadium in Las Vegas. The Senate approved the bill and now it moves to the State Assembly. They are expected to pass the Bill by the weekend.
But this is all a formality. Ever since Nevada Governor Sandoval called the special session last week, the talk around Vegas was that he wouldn’t call the session if he didn’t think he had the votes to get the Bill passed.
This Bill was skillfully crafted to also include the funding of the Las Vegas Convention Center expansion.
