LAS VEGAS — This is the statement from Sheldon G. Adelson upon withdrawing from the Las Vegas stadium plan:
“The Oakland Raiders came before the Las Vegas Stadium Authority last week with a proposed lease agreement that has sent shockwaves through our community.
It was certainly shocking to the Adelson family. We were not only excluded from the proposed agreement; we weren’t even aware of its existence.
In addition to being discouraged by the surprise submission, I was deeply disappointed for the disregard the Raiders showed our community partners, particularly UNLV, through the proposed agreement.
It’s clear the Raiders have decided their path for moving to Las Vegas does not include the Adelson family.
