Quote of the Day

“I was a little bit embarrassed for them that they would perpetuate the notion that people sitting around in the suburbs of Las Vegas and Henderson and Boulder City are sitting around on Sunday afternoons saying, ‘I wish we had a bigger convention center.’ I think it was an embarrassing ploy. All you have to do is go have a cup of coffee, go to dinner, or go to your doctor’s office and the Raiders are all anyone is talking about.” — Las Vegas Sands Vice President for Government Relations & Community Development Andy Abboud, dissing an MGM Resorts International-sponsored poll that showed more support for an expanded Las Vegas Convention Center than for an NFL stadium. The Raiders “are all anybody is talking about,” Abboud says.
