Casino mogul Steve Wynn is pushing for an Oakland Raiders move to Las Vegas according to a recent interview with TMZ.

The Oakland Raiders, Las Vegas story has been as much of a headline-grabbing topic this summer as the Silver and Black’s chances of ending their playoff drought after making several splashes in free agency. Momentum continuing to grow with each passing week as Vegas strengthens its push to lure the Raiders and owner Mark Davis to the Sin City.

Casino mogul Steve Wynn wants to make the potential of a NFL franchise in Vegas a reality and according to a recent interview with TMZ is heavily lobbying to bring the Raiders to the city. A major power broker in Vegas publicly giving his support to the idea of the NFL being added to the city’s entertainment portfolio.

“Absolutely love it,” Wynn told TMZ. “I’m really, really working hard to make sure that can happen. I’m really a big booster. I think having the Raiders in Las Vegas is the perfect thing to complement the city and to give everyone another excuse to come to Las Vegas.”

Recently the SNITC recommended $550 million in public money be put up for the potential of bringing a 60,000 seat domed stadium to Vegas to house the NFL and with more public support from the big names in Vegas it is clear that the Raiders are welcome in the city. A feeling that is a complete 180 from in Oakland where names in the city that have Wynn’s profile are nowhere near the Raiders, showing just how heavy Las Vegas is pressing to get a deal done to bring the NFL to Nevada at long last.
