>Clark County taxpayers will contribute $750 million to the new arena, a record for a sports facility—about $354 per resident, taken from an increased tax on hotel rooms. That tax currently pays for schools and transportation, in addition to tourism-related expenditures.

anyway after reading the article it states the taxpayers aren't paying for this just the tourist

casinos are gambling on themselves to pay for it

no way in hell those casinos are going to fund fucking schools and hospitals

Because no one except New York and LA can generate a lot of tourist at the drop of a dime like Vegas

The city has 2.5 million folks
Then add another 1 million throughout the month from tourist

Using public funds to attract teams to an area/host a big event (such as Super Bowl or Olympics) makes no sense economically, realistically it is just a vanity project for officials

>liberals want more of this to happen

Oakland's liberal mayor was against spending public money building a stadium for a rich man. I think you've forgotten which side of the political spectrum kowtows to the rich as an essential principle.

Wait. What am I saying, "forgotten"? You never knew in the first place.

Why fucking Vegas of all places? Seriously why? 90% of the people there are transplants who already have a team and tourists won't be assed to watch some faggot football game.

>>74923457
They just make shit up then top it off with a meme for maximum (you) s
>>
>>74923501
Because of the stadium. In fact, it'll be even more profitable if the team fails and moves again. It's a win-win.
>>
>>74921945
I'm definitely done with the NFL. Have been for years. Don't understand why people continue to support this scum league.

>not run entirely by kowtowing to the rich elite while destroying the middle class with expensive tax-subsidized programs and promises

The "left-wing is against rich people" is the worst goddamn meme to ever infest political discourse. Of course they love it though, makes it easy to reel in the emotional pseudo-intellectual urban rednecks.
