| Homeless camp moves onto Raiders stadium site in Las Vegas |
| 2017-07-23 |
| [Las Vegas Review Journal] The Oakland Raiders haven’t started building their stadium in Las Vegas, but there’s already some activity at the project site. A homeless encampment has taken shape on the football team’s land. The cluster of property and trash is below a billboard off Dean Martin Drive that, as of last week, advertised a garage-door company on one side and singer Mariah Carey’s performances at Caesars Palace on the other. At the encampment, a mattress was lying on one or two wooden pallets and covered with belongings. A shopping cart, buckets, empty cups and water bottles, a toolbox and other items also were strewn about. A handwritten sign there was partially covered from view but mentioned food, water and supplies. "Anything you can spare is a blessing," the sign said. Nobody was seen there Monday morning, but two people were there at least at one point last week. A Raiders spokesperson could not be reached for comment Monday. |

| #4 #3 Very serious people when they consider themselves or their interests to have been crossed... Posted by: M. Murcek 2017-07-23 06:22 Second. Vegas is not run by Las Vegans, it's run by people who represent Certain Interests(TM). Do not annoy them. Mike |
