The Raiders and Las Vegas go together like peanut butter and jelly

Las Vegas or Nevada raiders? Not sure why the colts don't go with the state name

It will be Las Vegas. It has already been trademarked. And I hate state names for teams anyway.

Finally read some info on this,
First question, maybe someone has already answered, but the stadium is said to be projected to cost $1.9 Billion, Mark Davis is kicking in $500 Million, Nevada has approved $750 Million for the project.
That still leaves almost $700 Million left to cover. Where is this money going to come from? Certainly not the NFL. I'm guessing taxpayers will have to cover the rest and the cost-overruns that will surely happen.
So the public will cough up somewhere close to a Billion extra dollars to get this stadium done.

I thought it was From Sheldon Adelson or is he only covering overages?

And then they'll go out and rail against big government in their reelection campaigns

Hotel tax increase like the Chargers wanna do. Vistors will be paying for this greatness

Sheldon Adelson is paying for the rest and any overruns. 14th richest man in US at 34 billion.
You're also forgetting that around a few hundred million is going to renovate the convention center.

Russel Road and Dean Martin. It's the big patch of land on the W side of I-15 west of Mandalay Bay
