Sin City’s mayor is pushing the agenda on getting an NBA-ready arena built: “Las Vegas could be moving down the court a little faster on a 20,000-seat downtown sports arena. That’s what Mayor Oscar Goodman said today at his weekly press conference, following up on his plans to have the Las Vegas City Council next week look at an exclusive contract with The Cordish Companies to start planning it out. ‘These are serious people. These are not people who are operating on a wing and a prayer,’ Goodman said. ‘Cordish has a proven track record. They don’t have time to play games.”‘
