And as they say, the devil is in the details.The larger question of whether the Vegas move is a done deal may come down to the A’s expectation that Las Vegas, Clark County and the state of Nevada will cough up as much as $500 million in public financing.A view shows Allegiant Stadium, home of the NFL...
