A long-awaited vote on a bill that would increase hotel room taxes to fund a domed stadium and improvements to the Las Vegas Convention Center failed to materialize early Friday morning after a marathon 17-hour Assembly session that saw plenty of controversy.
The Nevada Assembly recessed until 9 a.m. Friday after spending more than an hour hearing new testimony on the financial implications of the stadium project on Southern Nevada road construction. The early morning testimony was hastily arranged late Thursday night after lawmakers learned of a report showing up to $900 million in road projects that could be prioritized as a result of the stadium construction.
