OAKLAND
Las Vegas knows better than anybody that the only sure bet is to control the house. Only this time, in Sin City’s attempt to snatch the Raiders, it’s the NFL that flings the cards out of the chute. And it looks as if the league wants the Raiders to stay in Oakland.
You’ve got to wonder how Sheldon Adelson feels about this. Adelson is used to being the house, at least at the Venetian Hotel and Casino, which he owns. He’s also used to getting his way, although he threw down $92 million to help GOP candidates defeat President Barack Obama in 2012 and lost on that one.
