Sheldon Adelson wants to build a $1 billion domed stadium on the UNLV campus and is meeting with the owner of the Oakland Raiders, company officials confirmed Thursday.

Adelson has scheduled a Friday meeting in Las Vegas with Raiders owner Mark Davis. 

Davis has long stated that remaining in Oakland is his primary goal.

The Raiders will almost certainly at least play the 2016 season in Oakland.

The NFL has had a hard line against Las Vegas.
