As the ball keeps rolling toward the groundbreaking on the Athletics’ Las Vegas Strip ballpark project, Clark County commissioners approved a vital step in paying for a portion of the $1.75 billion stadium.
County commissioners on Tuesday unanimously approved the creation of the Sports and Entertainment Improvement District, which will raise $120 million to repay bonds the county will take out to fulfill its commitment to the up to $380 million in public funding approved by the Legislature in 2023 for the ballpark.
“This has been a long time coming, a lot of work by a lot of people,” Clark County Commissioner Jim Gibson said during Tuesday’s board meeting.
