Las Vegas resort operators are anxious to bring in the Oakland A’s.
A group of executives meeting with A’s owner John Fisher and president Dave Kaval expressed their “full support” for bringing the team to Southern Nevada, according to the Las Vegas Review Journal.
The team is believed to be scouting the Bally’s-owned Tropicana site and Phil Ruffin’s Las Vegas Festival Grounds.
The A’s are still waiting to see what Oakland can secure in grant money from county, state, and federal programs to provide infrastructure improvements around a proposed $12 billion waterfront development centered on a new A’s stadium.
The city has said it has already raised $375 million in transportation grants but will need to secure more funding.
