The Nevada Legislature approved Senate Bill 1, 16-5, on Oct. 10 in favor of a tax increase that’s needed to fund the stadium and heads to Gov. Brian Sandoval on Monday. The bill will raise lodging taxes that are mostly paid by tourists in order to fund the $1.9 billion domed stadium.
The stadium doesn’t have a location yet but the future seems bright. If all goes well, it will be able to seat 65,000 people.
It will be the home of the Oakland Raiders, which I’m sure will be renamed the Las Vegas Raiders, and the UNLV Rebels football team.
