Adelson is the widow of Las Vegas Sands founder Sheldon Adelson, who died in January 2021. And Las Vegas is now a preeminent destination for sports, with the NHL's Golden Knights, the NFL's Raiders, the WNBA's Aces and a Formula 1 Grand Prix. He is also the president and chief operating officer of Las Vegas Sands. Las Vegas Sands itself has spent years and millions of dollars as well in pursuit of the same goal.

CNN —The most famous relationship in the world right now has the stamp of approval from the National Football League’s (NFL) commissioner. Roger Goodell, who has served as commissioner since 2006, appeared on CBS Mornings ahead of the NFL’s Thanksgiving games and discussed the superstar pairing of singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. In October, Kelce and his brother said in their podcast that the NFL was “overdoing it a little bit” on social media regarding the romance between the pop star and the Chiefs tight end. I think it brings a little bit more to the atmosphere, brings a little bit more to what you’re watching. Kelce and Kansas City, who have a 7-3 record heading into Week 12 of the NFL regular season, will take on the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.

But for many decades, the NFL and other leagues opposed having sport franchises in Las Vegas, most likely due to the city’s deeply rooted gambling industry. “Vegas fans tend to be sports fans, too, and sports have helped us expand the customer base that are willing to consider Las Vegas,” Hill said. And during the past two years, Las Vegas and other tourist-centric cities have benefitted from consumers’ post-pandemic splurges on experiences and travel versus goods. The Las Vegas Strip can be seen outside the lanai doors at Allegiant Stadium during a game on October 15, 2023, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The term may conjure the immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary, or the “immaculate reception” — the touchdown pass that carried the Pittsburgh Steelers to victory in the last seconds of a 1972 playoff game against the Oakland Raiders. But in economic terms, it is meant to imply that getting price increases down without a big pop in unemployment would be nearly miraculous. Inflation was so hot in 2022 that history suggested a recession would be necessary to quash it.

One by one, they have left Oakland. Then, a year later, it was the itinerant Raiders heading to Las Vegas, the eye patch on their gridiron bandit logo obscuring an apparently wandering eye. The Athletics have another year on their lease in Oakland and their new stadium — a $1.5 billion, 30,000-seat ballpark with a retractable roof for which the Nevada Legislature approved public financing — won’t be ready until 2028. The Nevada teacher’s union is angling to put the subsidy on the ballot for voters. But the A’s impending move, as inevitable as it has seemed, landed in Oakland like a fastball to the ribs.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Oakland Athletics’ move to Las Vegas was unanimously approved Thursday by Major League Baseball team owners, cementing the sport’s first relocation since 2005, according to two people familiar with the vote. Las Vegas will become the fourth city for a franchise that played in Philadelphia from 1901-54, moved to Kansas City for 13 seasons and arrived in Oakland for 1968. The new stadium will be the team’s fifth after Columbia Park (1901-08), Shibe Park (1909-54), Memorial Stadium (1955-67) and the Coliseum. The team announced April 19 it had purchased land in Las Vegas, then a month later replaced that location with a deal with Bally’s and Gaming & Leisure Properties to build a stadium on the Tropicana hotel site along the Las Vegas Strip. While San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose is the 10th-largest television market in the U.S., Las Vegas is the 40th.

Rodgers, who turns 40 on Dec. 2, has repeatedly said his goal is to return late this season. “If I have a great week this week and next week, that could be accelerated,” he said on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday. “And I think Aaron’s just icing on the cake.”A return this season by Rodgers would be unprecedented in terms of recovery time.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers said his goal is to return from a torn Achilles tendon by mid-December, NBC's Melissa Stark reported during the telecast of the Jets' game at Las Vegas on Sunday night. Rodgers had hinted recently he hopes to return before the end of the season, but this is the most specific he has been. He suffered what was thought to be a season-ending injury in the opener against the Buffalo Bills. However, Rodgers, who was on the sideline, told Stark he “just wasn’t feeling it” about throwing passes during pregame warmups as he has the last several weeks. Rodgers said he has been working on a weight-limiting treadmill, jogging at 50% of his body weight.

"Obviously a disappointing game - similar theme that we've had other games this year: just too many missed opportunities," Belichick told reporters. "Just got to play better situational football and do a better job taking advantage of the opportunities we have." "When people (are) talking about 'Should Bill Belichick be fired mid-season?'

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The first sign of discontent regarding Craig Counsell’s decision to leave the Milwaukee Brewers to manage the Chicago Cubs appeared in his hometown at the Little League field that bears his name. The sign was covered up Tuesday morning, one day after the Cubs landed Counsell with a five-year deal worth over $40 million. “I give Craig credit for helping to build that, and for adding all these coaches, all of whom have stayed. Counsell told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Tuesday the opportunity for a new professional challenge and the proximity of Chicago made this opportunity appealing.

The Minnesota Vikings and the Las Vegas Raiders are proof that major midseason upheaval doesn't necessarily mean it's time to start aiming for the draft instead of the playoffs. I know what it was like to learn this in three weeks and have to get on the field," Risner said. “I know a lot of nicknames per se, but name names, that’s for this week, that’s the assignment for this week," he said. The Raiders became the first team since 2009 to score fewer than 20 points on offense in each of the first eight games of the season. “So if that’s the case," Gronkowski said, "I think Josh McDaniels comes back as offensive coordinator in New England, that’s for sure.”There'd be no Brady waiting for him this time.
