Homeless camp moves onto Raiders stadium site in Las Vegas
[Las Vegas Review Journal] The Oakland Raiders haven’t started building their stadium in Las Vegas, but there’s already some activity at the project site.A homeless encampment has taken shape on the football team’s land. The cluster of property and trash is below a billboard off Dean Martin Drive that, as of last week, advertised a garage-door company on one side and singer Mariah Carey’s performances at Caesars Palace on the other. At the encampment, a mattress was lying on one or two wooden pallets and covered with belongings. A shopping cart, buckets, empty cups and water bottles, a toolbox and other items also were strewn about. A handwritten sign there was partially covered from view but mentioned food, water and supplies. "Anything you can spare is a blessing," the sign said. Nobody was seen there Monday morning, but two people were there at least at one point last week. A Raiders spokesperson could not be reached for comment Monday. Posted by: Besoeker 2017-07-23 |
