Yes, the lines are long, I've walked out on a few occasions. Worse time to go is lunch, 10:30 - 12:30.

What kind of work you doing these days in Las Vegas Manster? You seem to be enjoying the free drinks on the strip.

wouldn't this require another owner majority approval? like the rams deal? if the raiders improve as expected might get some motivation out of oakland to move on a stadium deal. i could also see the owners pushing them to move to LA if the chargers don't go.

The gambling argument is bullshit. The fact that the Raiders will be in Vegas, they would be the most watched team by gambling officials. It would make it harder for them to gamble, than any other team.

I was just going to say this same thing. I have a buddy that lived in Vegas for a few years and he said he avoided the strip like the plague too. I suspect most locals do the same.

Yep, I know hundreds of people that stay in Vegas, and majority say the same thing.

I like it.
Why wouldn't the owners approve this move? Since they share profits the Raiders would be much more profitable in Vegas. Lots of new fans. I'm almost kind of jealous, almost.

I say, moving the Raiders to Las Vegas, The NFL would send a strong message against gambling to NFL players and fans......You can bet on that.......It's a sure thing......I give it 2 to 1 odds

he said :pound:

It reminds me...........I haven't been to DraftKings today

Why don't they just play at the Sam Boyd Silver Bowl?
They can change the name to the Sam Boyd Silver & Black Bowl.
It holds about 45,000....but they can add an additional 10-15,000 seats.

If an NFL team is going to move to Las Vegas, it's going to be for a state-of-the-art stadium like Sheldon Adelson is proposing. Boyd stadium could be a temporary home, but an NFL team would NEVER agree to it long term. Name of the game these days is to have the best, newest, coolest stadium around. That's why Kroenke moved to L.A., he can now build the stadium complex people dream of...

I understand that...but Oakland has had a few proposals & offers for a state of the art top notch modern stadium on the table. It seems the raider ownership wanted the city/county to pay for most of the bill....which is BS. He's trying to extort Oakland...and believes they'll fall for the bait by having the Sheldon Adelson and his dirty money bags behind him. I say fuck Mark Davis..if he wants to leave the bay area...good riddance. He & that team don't deserve or need a new stadium in Vegas.

* BTW: Isn't the NFL on the record as being against any franchise moving to sin city, or placing an expansion team there?

Believe it or not, Shelly isn't all the dirty, especially in Vegas standards. I was there when he was building the Palazzo and EVERYONE was convinced it was going to be a failure, it wasn't, it's a HUGE success. I also know quite a few employees at the Venetian/Palazzo and they're treated even better than the union guys at other casinos. The guy is doing something right in that town and if there's ANYONE to back this project, Sheldon Adelson is the right guy...
