Jon Gruden is asking the entire Nevada Supreme Court to reconsider a decision by a three-justice panel to throw out a lawsuit he filed against the NFL over emails leaked to the media before he resigned as coach of the Las Vegas Raiders in 2021.
The Las Vegas Grand Prix won't have the weekend to itself. Some 12 hours after the Formula One race ends, the Las Vegas Raiders will host the Denver Broncos at Allegiant Stadium.
The Oakland A's will play in the aging Coliseum next season but the following years are up to Major League Baseball. A planned $1.5B stadium on the Strip won't be ready until 2028.
The A's recently negotiated with the Nevada Legislature to build a 30,000-seat ballpark on the Las Vegas Strip, but the reception outside Carson City is at best chilly.
Critics were concerned that the original A's bill did not give enough teeth to the plan. Like the community benefits section of the 2016 bill, it only specified that the stadium would ensure "the greatest possible participation by all segments of the local community."
The special session is the second convened by Gov. Joe Lombardo in two days since the end of the regular session Monday, with only one bill up for consideration. SB1 is a copy of SB509 from the 2023 regular session — a bill that failed to pass during the final hours of the session Monday night.
This is a deal that makes sense for nobody and will end disastrously for everybody. Take it from a lifelong Oakland A's fan, this is not a team owner Las Vegans should trust, let alone offer residency on the Strip.
It's hard to blame Las Vegans for a lack of excitement. Oakland's fans aren't thrilled about the A's or their ownership. ... On the field, the team is heading for one of the worst records in Major League history.
Clark County officials are worried taxpayers could have to cover debt payments for the county's part of the $395 million in public money the Oakland A's are seeking to build a $1.5 billion stadium in Las Vegas.
Certainly, the proposed concept isn't as massive as the $750 million gift Nevada gave the last professional sports team to flee Oakland — but that doesn't mean it isn't an equally foolish thing for lawmakers to consider.
Nevadans broadly gave Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo good marks after his first month in office, with a slight majority viewing the state as "on the right track," according to a poll released Friday.
Las Vegas Raiders President Sandra Douglass Morgan said at IndyFest the opportunity exists for additional professional sports franchises to call Southern Nevada home.
The council oversees how land is used in the city — a critical function as Southern Nevada's population is expected to flourish while facing historic drought and cuts to the state's allotment of Lake Mead. Council members vote on development plans, business licenses, property taxes and how to split its $814 million budget between public safety, community programs and other projects.
The operations and funding of the $2 billion Allegiant Stadium, including the $750 million in public financing, are not endangered by the turmoil surrounding the Las Vegas Raiders.
Analysts are offering cautious optimism over plans for a 20,000-seat arena as part of $3 billion entertainment district. The announcement raised concerns about market saturation.
