Las Vegas officials have received queries from at least a half-dozen suitors interested in filling the investment vacuum left by casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and Goldman Sachs, bringing a sliver of optimism that the Raiders are on track to move to southern Nevada.
Clark County Commission chairman Steve Sisolak said this week that he has forwarded all inquiries to Raiders officials, including one from a local Las Vegas developer with the resources to provide a substantial investment. Another came from a Japanese consortium and a third from a European group.
Jeremy Aguero, whose research firm Applied Analysis serves as a liaison for the Las Vegas Stadium Authority, said board members have received “literally dozens of those types of calls” offering to help bring the NFL to southern Nevada.
