Financial backers of a proposed NFL stadium in Las Vegas for the Oakland Raiders say they won't accept anything less than $750 million in public funds to get the project built.

Majestic Realty and the Las Vegas Sands casino company have their eyes on two proposal sites near the Las Vegas Strip and told an oversight committee that if Nevada lawmakers don't meet their demands they will walk away from the project.

"Not to be difficult, but we're not negotiable," Sands President Rob Goldstein said. "If we can't get 750, we respectfully thank you but we're going to move on.
