Am I wrong in that they're not going to be in the actual city of Las Vegas so she has no say?

I read something years ago about how the casinos aren't in Vegas but in Paradise so they don't pay city taxes. Basically a giant tax dodge of a "city."

- But that is not actually the City of Las Vegas. It's Paradise, which is a tax dodge that walks like a city. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 14:51 3
  - I've been to Vegas I wouldn't exactly call it Paradise -- nm - eag Feb 6, 15:34

if I remember right, the city wanted them off the strip near the football stadium and the A's wanted the Trop site. -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 6, 14:41 1
- Isn't the Trop in Paradise? Also, building a stadium off the strip sounds like a nightmare of congestion. -- nm* - Krusty Feb 6, 14:52
