Key pandemic recovery element — foreign flights — still missing

You have questions about the Athletics’ move? We have answers.

A look at what Athletic's to LV might mean. Perhaps build on empty lot behind Paris casino. Or Henderson or Summerlin. Does not mean end of Aviators in valley.

Most lawmakers not willing to use public dollars to woo Athletics

Doesn't sound like state legislators are overly enthusiastic about providing public funds to entice Athletics to LV.

Rightfully so. They should've told the Raiders to f*** off too.

I mean, the Athletics have yet to entertain the idea enough for them to start working state officials. I wouldn't hold your breath on them staying firm if it gets to that point. Lol

Also, wasn't it Henderson city officials that were pushing Arizona on the idea of relocation and not state officials?

^From the article:

“KLAS-TV reported game day parking spaces will range between $40 and $100, with the average price at $75. People with personal seat licenses will be able to reserve spots. Badain said the NFL team has 13,000 spots under its control and 22,000 are available at nearby casino-resorts.”

Wow.

Does "Vital Vegas" rent hotel rooms a lot? If not, they haven't put forth a cent to pay for the stadium.

 

[VEGASKING]

I thought the county having to make payments due to all the lost revenue changed that but apparently the money is still coming from the same source. After the first payment there was 57 million left in the reserve fund. Now there would be 45 million.

Clark County Again Uses Reserve Fund to Make Stadium Bond Payment

But, yes, anyone who complained about paying for the stadium had no idea what they were talking about. Prior to covid the tax collection for this was actually doing better than expected.

I propose to use the area adjacent to RC Willey in summerlin at 215 and town center for a stadium so that it would be easy for me to go to games.
