If they get the raiders or whatever they will get everybody to come down here. Ive seen the pictures of the stadium, it looks amazing the designs are out, the excitements there, but its time to talk money. The sands corporation. Along with Sheldon Adelson and the raiders want clark county to shell over a big chunk of public money for the stadium to be built. But whos pock really being affected . This is a publicly owned stadium, we need to have a public commitment, the public is gonna own it, and we think a room tax is an excellent opportunity to do that. In his words, a stadium built by tourists through 750 Million Dollars in Hotel Room Tax money. With zero risk to nevada tax payers, because the adelson family will be kicking in almost 700 Million Dollars for this project, they will be assuming all risks. Abboud said adelson would be taking care of any additional costs. But the sands corp is convinced the stadium would be a big win. Almost 900 Million Dollars of economic development, 50 taxes. It will not only increase visitations but its gonna generate new revenue for education, for transportation, for police still not everyones so sure. There are those who doubt the benefit in a Public Private partnership. And some who think the price tag is too big. The plan still has some issues to tackle the Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure committee has to make a reccomendation to the governor. And then gov. Sandoval would have to call a special session. And even then. Lawmakers could vote to send it back to clark county commissioners to make the final decision to fund the stadium. So theres a few hurdles, but for sands corps and many las vegans the dream lives on. Nothing builds pride in a city like having their own sports teams the future home of this potential stadium has been narrowed down of this potential stadium has been narrowed down to two sites. The bali hai golf course or an undeveloped lot near the i15 and russell. But thats only if the stadium, and its funding proposal approved. Mmv, ffn, ll theyre hoping for big moves in Tourism Infrastructure committee is meeting september 15th and they want to get that special session hopefully in the fall.
