why doesn't it look like a gigantic a-hole?

And to those so opposed to the hotel tax increase...
That's before the increase, after puts it at 14.28%.
Still not bad at all.

Will it be walkable from the strip?

They're raising the hotel tax less than 1%. How often do locals rent hotel rooms to be affected by this? Locals should be happy, they're about to have a very nice stadium with an NFL team, and they'll surely get a Super Bowl as soon as they're eligible.

A). The stadium is on the strip, just south of Mandalay Bay.
B). As it is, there already is a serious proposal to extend the Las Vegas monorail to Mandalay Bay.

That would become a very popular away game destination

Yep, that location is the one they have signed on for, but there is still another backup plan location as well.

Imagine going to Vegas on a Thursday, partying Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday night, and then going to see the Saints on Sunday hungover.

don't think I'd make it to Sunday

i became a raiders fan when they were still in LA so I won't be sad if they leave Oakland. Going to a Raiders game in Vegas would be something I'd start planning if this happens.

the 750 mil comes from a hotel tax. tourists will be paying it.

You can find cheap flights to Vegas too.

200 years from now when the decline of the USA is studied in schools there will be a chapter on things like public financing of sports stadiums sucking away resources that would be better spent elsewhere.

I just don't see how Vegas can support a NFL team consistently
I don't know much about the town, but how does their population stack up against other cities with NFL franchises?? Vegas can't have the population of places like LA, Miami, Detroit, etc

Isn't there a golf course just south of Mandalay Bay?

Has Oakland done anything to keep them? I never heard of a propasal to keep them.

Oakland is broke and still paying off Mt. Davis at Oakland-Alameda.
