Fantastic. Another success story for the state of Nevada. Now that we have light rail transecting the state, our school systems are No. 1 in the country, our teachers are paid a living wage commensurate with our No. 1 national ranking, and we have finally nailed down water security for the next century … why not waste our taxpayer surplus on a baseball stadium and team? Formula 1 anyone? How about year-round outdoor ice sculptor contests right on Strip?

Sardonic, yes. But it doesn’t mean we can’t have it all just because we live in a desert.
