For the latest Las Vegas tourism news and stats let the Las Vegas Review-Journal be your top source.
The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, operator of a casino property 60 miles east of Los Angeles in San Bernardino County, has signed a partnership with the Raiders.
When the Nevada Legislature locked in a taxpayer contribution of $750 million to build Allegiant Stadium, it offered no mechanism for the Raiders to pay any of it back.
When the Las Vegas Raiders roll into Allegiant Stadium next year, what will the pre-game tailgate party look like for fans of the Silver and Black?
The LVCVA board authorized $3 million in upfront funding to stage the Pac-12 Conference Football Championship Game in 2020 and 2021 at Allegiant Stadium.
The UNLV International Gaming Institute turned out to be instrumental in the unlikely bid to move the Raiders from Oakland to Las Vegas.
