On a side note, Harrah’s (the casino chain that coerced their employees to vote for Harry Reid in the recent election) is currently pushing a local initiative to get an arena built on their property in Las Vegas. It would be paid for by an increase in Nevada taxes and an increase in tourist taxes. They are presenting the plan under the guise of it it being a way to create jobs and to attract a National Basketball Association team, and/or a National Hockey League team, but they don't want to pay for it themselves. They want others to pick up the tab while they profit off of it.

EXACTLY the case in every other taxpayer funded sorts venue. The taxpayers pay and the sports teams and associated businesses profit at the expense of the taxpayers.
