Alright, when Las Vegas inevitably gets an MLB team, the stadium should have a retractable roof and grass field. It would be the first MLB stadium with the latter. The grass field being out in the open would allow it to take in the large amount of sunlight that Vegas is subject to every year, and also allowing other events to take place on the floor below it (albeit not as much as Allegiant Stadium, for example, only that stadium would be big enough for the Final Four).

Not paying to read RJ articles, but it should also mention that most main-gig drivers are making more on unemployment plus 300 a week than they would out driving. For those still venturing out, it's long pickups with low payouts. Like drive 12 miles to the airport uncompensated, then drive passengers to MGM for a $4 fare. Because of this, drivers are frequently cancelling rides, leading to even more difficulty for riders.
