The deal to bring the Oakland Raiders to Las Vegas is one step closer after the Senate approved a more than $1.1 billion public funding package for an NFL stadium and convention center upgrades in Las Vegas.
What seemed like an uncertain proposition early in the day came to fruition after a lengthy amount of closed-door wheeling and dealing. Five senators opposed the measure, including state Sen. Julia Ratti, D-Sparks, who was appointed to her district for the special session, and state Sen. Don Gustavson, R-Sparks.
