Raiders' Mark Davis, billionaire Sheldon Adelson meet about Las Vegas stadium, report says

Raiders owner Mark Davis and billionaire Las Vegas Sands chairman Sheldon Adelson met in Las Vegas on Wednesday, the day before the 2016 NFL regular season kicks off, to discuss a funding deal on the proposed $1.9 billion stadium on The Strip, KTNV reported Thursday.

According to the report, the topic of discussion among more than a dozen people gathered at the Clark County Building was a new draft of a compromise bill to be sent to state lawmakers on how to fund the proposed retractable-roof facility.

Citing unidentified sources, KTNV reported that Adelson agreed to remove certain funding stipulations but wouldn't back down on his demands for $750 million in public money through hotel room taxes.
