Stadium Authority Approves 2018 Budget

The Las Vegas Stadium Authority has approved its budget for the fiscal year 2018. 

The Las Vegas Sun reports the authority’s budget plan is based on an estimated $14 million of profits from this fiscal year and $50 million for the next fiscal year.

The money for the authority is coming from a hike in the hotel room tax, which was approved by the Nevada Legislature last fall.

The room tax surpassed estimates by a half a million dollars in the first two months it was in place.

The tax will fund the $750 million public portion of the stadium that will house the Raiders.

The private portion will be financed by the team through Bank of America.
