The Raiders’ first footsteps in Las Vegas will apparently be on April 29.
The team will hold an NFL Draft event at the iconic “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign near The Strip on the third day of the draft. They will also host a draft event in Oakland on day one, a team spokesman said.
Raiders president Marc Badain announced the event Thursday at the Las Vegas Stadium Authority meeting and Clark County Commission chairman Steve Sisolak confirmed it on Twitter.
As ESPN’s Jim Trotter put it, the event seems like it is “twisting the knife” on Raiders fans already in limbo over the team’s relocation to Sin City.
