Casino mogul Steve Wynn is pushing all his chips in on the Oakland Raiders becoming the Vegas Raiders.

The Vegas king was in the Raiders old stomping grounds, Los Angeles, when we asked about the team possibly moving to the Strip and Wynn went off -- explaining everything he's doing with owner Mark Davis to make it happen.

The Tourism Infrastructure Committee is considering a two-month extension before going to Gov. Brian Sandoval with its proposals, but right now there is no location.

"Just like in real estate, location location location matters when you build a stadium," CFA Mike PeQueen said.

Nine sites are being considered. Once that is sorted out, there is still the minor issue of funding. Initially, developers thought it was going to cost $1.4 billion to build, but now they say that number is somewhere between $1.7 billion and $2.1 billion.
