"We congratulate the Raiders and the National Football League on today’s historic decision to place a team in Las Vegas. The second announcement of a major sports franchise to locate a team in Las Vegas in just the last 12 months demonstrates how far gaming has come, from a niche industry to a US$ 240 billion economic engine that supports 1.7 million jobs in 40 states,” said Freeman.
"The gaming industry currently partners with professional teams around the
country and we look forward to soon doing the same in Nevada,” Freeman added.
"We applaud the many leaders in Las Vegas who have worked tirelessly to make
the city the world’s premier tourist, convention and entertainment destination,
and a market worthy of an NFL team,” concluded AGA’s President.
