Once thought to be a sure thing, the NFL’s move into Las Vegas seems to be tearing apart at the seams.
While Raiders owner Mark Davis and casino magnate Sheldon Adelson have decided that they can’t be friends right now, building a new stadium for the Oakland franchise in southern Nevada has been put on hold.

This spat has caused a ripple effect across the Vegas Valley as locals mourn losing something they never had.
