Flamingo & Koval:
THE GOOD
It’ll be conducive to filling skyboxes with high rollers and add a new diminsion to Strip. The corner will finally lose Tupac-murder rep.
THE BAD
It’ll be so full of Strip VIPs it’ll feel like a team for tourists instead of Las Vegans. And the ensuing gridlock will destroy air quality.
THE UGLY
Vegas will have a stadium, but not a team. If neither the NHL nor NBA moves in, it’ll start taking biz from the Thomas & Mack.
Downtown:
THE GOOD
Oscar will no doubt throw a great party. Game crowds will be three time as large as those for First Friday. Fans will hit up area bars.
THE BAD
We’d have to put up with Oscar’s gloating. Plus, Downtown’s infrastructure may not be ready, and public services will be stressed.
THE UGLY
It’s still glum, pestilence-ridden Downtown. Worse, REI could sneak in taxpayer subsidies if stadium runs into trouble.
Off Strip:
THE GOOD
Anywhere is better for traffic! Build a master-planned ’hood around it!
THE BAD
We have a hard enough time finding Sam Boyd Stadium.
THE UGLY
If the team sucks, you've got an empty, hulking shell in the desert.
