Uncertainty looms over Oakland Athletics' potential move to Las Vegas.

The prospects for a bill that would provide public funding for a stadium for the Oakland Athletics and lure major filmmakers to Las Vegas through billions of dollars in tax credits are uncertain after Nevada lawmakers adjourned their four-month legislative session without passing a budget bill that included over $1 billion to fund capital improvement projects. Republican Gov. Lombardo said he would call a special session later Tuesday morning, where he would set the agenda for legislative priorities. The bill has revived the national debate over public funding for private sports stadiums, amid concerns and skepticism among economists about minimal benefits for a hefty public price tag.
