And the countdown begins!  One of greatest, most monumental occasions in Las Vegas history is about to happen! Las Vegas welcomes their very own Raiders! Local residents are warned to stay clear of the Strip as it will be the dominant focal point for the NFL Draft this coming April, with players making their grand entrance on the beautiful Bellagio lake. Suffice it to say, stay clear of the Strip as it will be blocked off for several days.

 

During the most recent commission meeting, the traffic situation was revealed that the Upcoming Draft will affect traffic.
