College football is largely built on tradition and the current CFP structure keeps much of that in place.

A championship game is an entirely different matter though.

The championship game is the big draw anyway. We are also looking at things as they stand currently. I would not be surprised if by the time this stadium is built that the CFB playoff has been expanded to 8 teams instead of 4.

People that say this didn't bother to read the law. The requirement is only 20% local labor and business. I guess the other side of the argument is that the other 80% (or whatever likely lower number that is that will certainly be higher than 50%) will be considered tourists that will spend money in the economy and pay the hotel tax if they stay for less than 30 days at a time.

I did a segment that basically said the same thing as this article. I'm baffled as to why Las Vegas casino stocks went up on the Raiders move. It should have been about the opposite. The stadium is going to take about $50 million every year out of the economy just from tourists, much less what locals won't be spending at casinos because of spending money on season tickets, concessions, parking, merchandise etc.

The stadium is the opposite of a great thing for the resorts. The only reason you saw any gaming wanting this in the Legislature was because Adelson was involved. Most decided to just stay quiet since they wanted the convention center. The people leaving the stadium won't even be walking right by casinos like they will at the hockey arena.

It's not going to be one or the other... the stadium and the convention center expansion will both be happening.

LVP, re-read what zumaboy quoted. It was humor, a reference to all the construction in town, nothing to do with labor or other requirements related to the law.

It is always amusing to see somebody quote the motley fool, a site which is infamous for its disastrous financial advice. Google IOMEGA.

I certainly agree with you that I would never follow their stock picking advice but they nail this. They also had a great article on millennials and how Las Vegas is failing at understanding that problem. It isn't all stock picking touts.

I would have thought vegas had a handle on the millennial crowd. Seems like the town has become the place to be for EDM parties for the young crowd.

The casinos can figure out how to get them here. They can't figure out how to get them to gamble. The article I mention makes the point that casinos are overthinking it, not to mention archaic thinking like Las Vegas Sands has that online gaming is bad product for casinos. The author of these two articles is a table game inventor.

These are the two best articles ever on the topic.
