Is this the same land for which Reid and his sons negotiated a trade with the BLM for worthless land further from Las Vegas? And is this parcel served by the bridge Reid added to a spending bill?

No, that was some Las Vegas area property that Reid supposedly bought with a handshake and hid from congressional disclosure until it was rezoned for a shopping mall and suddenly was worth a couple million bucks. The city grew out to his ("you don't pay anything unless it becomes worth something, then you pay some of the original desert price") property.
