Southern Nevada is on the verge of history this week with a vote that could forever change Las Vegas’ tourism landscape.
When NFL owners gather in Phoenix beginning Monday, they’re expected to consider a vote to relocate the Oakland Raiders to Las Vegas. It’s a move that would enable the Las Vegas Stadium Authority to sign agreements with a developer and an events company for a new public venue that not only would house football games involving the Raiders and UNLV, but also large special events for which Las Vegas has become famous.
Make no mistake about it, having the NFL in Las Vegas is a remarkable achievement by those who accomplished that.
