Casino mogul Sheldon Adelson appears ready to walk away from the NFL stadium deal if the Raiders don't agree to terms he is satisfied with.
According to Reuters, Adelson says the team wants "so much."
He's apparently told the team that he can live with or without the deal.
He's pledge up to $650 million toward building the stadium and was instrumental in getting legislation passed so public money could be used for its construction.

we Clark County Tax payers take the hit from the get-go. Rather than fifteen or twenty years down the road.
Another little thingee popped yesterday dealing with Sheldon,and that was the State Gambling Commission charging Sands Corp with using Straw-People pass through's for Chinese High Rollers. This one is going to smack Sheldon big time.
