ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Las Vegas Sands Chairman and CEO Sheldon Adelson wants to build a $1 billion domed stadium on the UNLV campus and is meeting with the owner of the Oakland Raiders, company officials confirmed Thursday.
The Sands Corp. announced Thursday that it was lending its support behind a public-private partnership to build a 65,000-seat, domed stadium on a vacant 42 acres of land recently purchased by UNLV near the corner of Tropicana Avenue and Koval Lane across from McCarran International Airport.
Adelson has scheduled a Friday meeting in Las Vegas with Raiders owner Mark Davis.
