Major League Baseball's Oakland A's have hired several high-profile Nevada lobbyists as part of its two-year-long quest to relocate the team to Las Vegas.

"So you want to rely on people who know how to get you where you want to go.," said Rebecca Gasca, a lobbyist and owner with Wendovera LLC. "They have the compass. They're the compass holders. You're the boat. And you trust them. And it makes sense because you haven't been in their shoes."
