LAS VEGAS -- Casino mogul Sheldon Adelson has pulled out of a plan to build a $1.9 billion domed stadium for the NFL's Oakland Raiders to move to Las Vegas.
In a terse statement on Monday, Adelson declared that he had been excluded from talks before the team sent a lease proposal last week to the public board that will own the 65,000-seat stadium.
Adelson's name was not part of the Raiders relocation application, according to a source.
Adelson says his family and Las Vegas Sands "will no longer be involved in any facet" of the plan.
