Now Even Las Vegas Mayor is Making Deadlines

"For 18 of the 61 acres downtown previously set aside by the City of Las Vegas to build a state-of-the-art sports facility to house a major league sports franchise, the time is now or never.

"Citing escalating property values, Mayor Oscar Goodman has given public notice to major league sports franchises that the city-owned property will be held only a little while longer before it is handed over for other development.

"'If I don't have a serious discussion within 12 months that land is so valuable I am going to release it for other projects,' Goodman said." (LasVegasBusinessPress)

A LINE DRAWN IN THE DESERT SAND??: "A Marlins' spokesman says the team has not visited Las Vegas recently and said any announcement about doing so will only come 'when things are finalized from that end.'" (LasVegasBusinessPress)
