So, how much bling did this stadium cost?
Hold onto your poker chips, folks, because Allegiant Stadium cost a staggering $1.9 BILLION to build. That's enough money to buy a whole lotta buffets, see a million Cirque du Soleil shows, or maybe even convince Celine Dion to come out of retirement for a residency (hey, a man can dream).
QuickTip: A slow read reveals hidden insights.
But wait, there's more! (cue dramatic music)
Here's the kicker: a good chunk of that dough, around $750 million, came straight out of taxpayers' pockets. Yes, that means every time you visit Vegas and lose all your money at the roulette table, a tiny percentage goes towards funding the Raiders' swanky new digs.
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.

Who needs affordable housing when you have a stadium with a fancy translucent roof?
Now, don't get us wrong, Allegiant Stadium is a sight to behold. It's got all the bells and whistles: a retractable roof, fancy video screens, and enough luxury boxes to house all of Elvis's impersonators. But for the price of a small nation's GDP, you'd kinda hope it dispenses free margaritas, right?
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.
So, the next time you're placing a bet on the Raiders, take a moment to appreciate the sheer financial commitment that went into their stadium. It's a monument to American excess, and maybe, just maybe, a decent investment (only time will tell on that one).
Tip: Patience makes reading smoother.
