LAS VEGAS -- A plan to build an NFL stadium in Las Vegas and lure the Raiders from Oakland cleared a major hurdle Thursday when a Nevada oversight committee voted unanimously to recommend $750 million in public funding for the project.The Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee recommended raising the hotel tax in the Las Vegas area to help pay for a 65,000-seat domed venue that was promoted and would be partially financed by billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson,?CEO of Las Vegas Sands.?Proponents still need to win over the governor, the Legislature and three-quarters of NFL owners to make the project a reality, but its a significant milestone for a city that has never had a professional football team and has been hammering out the particulars of the Raiders deal for months.We get an NFL team, and that is a significant step forward for Las Vegas and the community, committee chairman Steve Hill said about the projects potential. Those teams bring the community together. Were going to have people wearing Raiders jerseys and high-fiving each other. ... Thats not something you can put a number on.The Adelson family plans to put $650 million toward the project, which would also be home to UNLV football, while the Raiders plan to kick in $500 million.Officials with the Las Vegas Sands said they dont want to return any profits to the public because they would be making little or no money on the stadium. They are also committing to fund construction cost overruns and infrastructure improvements at the yet-undetermined site.We are excited, Raiders owner Mark Davis told ESPN. Thank you to the SNTIC.Sands representative Andy Abboud said the Adelsons were in China to open their new, $2.9 billion Parisian Macao casino and probably asleep when the vote came down, but he texted them the news and said they will be excited.I never dreamed of or hoped for a unanimous vote, Abboud said. But a unanimous vote, I think, sends a very strong signal to the Legislature.Opponents question whether its appropriate to put public dollars toward a project spearheaded by one of the richest men in the world. TThey are also wary of the bonds used to finance the project, which could put taxpayers on the hook to cover stadium debt in a downturn.ddddddddddddHill said the deals structure would shield taxpayers even in a recession as deep as the most recent one, when hotel tax revenues fell 33 percent. He also addressed arguments that tax hikes should prioritize Nevadas bottom-ranking public school system.Im not going to argue that a room tax couldnt be used for other things, Hill said, noting that the increase will mostly affect tourists, not locals. I will say this is an entirely, very appropriate use for room tax.Stadium proponents drove a hard bargain with the committee, which included casino leaders and elected officials. The Las Vegas Sands said it would walk away from negotiations if the public put in less than $750 million, and the company fought to protect itself from any future taxes targeting the team.Public pressure mounted too.Union members wearing Raiders gear held tailgate parties outside the committees meetings, and cheerleaders in silver and black flanked the entrances to Thursdays meeting. Electronic billboards along the interstate urged people to hold politicians accountable on the stadium deal and recommended the hashtag Dont Screw This Up NV.It was unclear when Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval might call lawmakers into special session to consider the deal, although proponents want it as soon as possible so they can pitch the deal to NFL owners ahead of their January meeting and potential team relocation vote. Sandoval said he would start reviewing the recommendations and emphasized that Las Vegas needed to continue evolving to keep its edge as a tourism mecca.I will not move forward until all questions have been resolved, he said. I am hopeful the work completed by this committee will serve as a road map to Southern Nevadas unrivaled and continued success.Information from ESPN staff writer Paul Gutierrez and The Associated Press was used in this report.
