Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis on Thursday told the Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee that he wants to move his NFL franchise to Las Vegas, and he pledged $500 million toward the construction of a $1.4 billion domed stadium if a public-private financing plan is approved by the Legislature.
Exactly how the balance of the dome’s costs would be covered and where it would be built were far from settled Thursday.
Under a proposal discussed Thursday, the 65,000-seat project would be funded by $750 million in tourist taxes and $150 million from a partnership between casino operator Las Vegas Sands Corp.
