The issue of gambling at the proposed new Las Vegas home for the NFLs Oakland Raider has yet to be addressed during lease discussions, according to local media reports.

The proposed lease agreement between the Raiders and the Las Vegas Stadium Authority includes specific prohibited uses at the stadium including sexually oriented commercial enterprises; lewd, offensive or immoral signs; massage parlors; paraphernalia used primarily for taking or using illegal drugs; a shooting gallery or target range; and vehicle repair facilities.

Although the gambling issue is not currently addressed, Las Vegas Stadium Authority board member Bill Hornbuckle, president of MGM Resorts International, indicated he does not want gambling at the stadium and would stand against it if the NFL or the authority moved to allow it.

According to Hornbuckle, whose company is a major force on the Las Vegas Strip, the stadium was funded with the intention that there wouldnt be gaming at the stadium.

So far, there has been no differentiation made between traditional casino games and sports betting, which could be accessed by smart devices by fans attending games at the proposed stadium.
