The owner of the Treasure Island and Circus Circus casinos said that he supports a potential Oakland A’s move to Las Vegas.
That’s despite the fact that Phil Ruffin and his team weren’t able to make a ballpark site on the north end of the Strip work.
Ruffin, who was reached by phone Friday, said he talked to the A’s about the festival grounds piece of land he owns — close to 40 acres — near Circus Circus but that a deal was ultimately not made.
The A’s have zeroed in on a 49-acre piece of land just west of the Strip and north of Allegiant Stadium.
