The Raiders will remain in Oakland for at least the 2017 and 2018 seasons. The 2019 season is still up in the air as the Raiders' new stadium is expected to take three years to build.
The state of Nevada approved $750 million for a new stadium. Raiders owner Mark Davis pledged $500 million toward the project, and according to a report from the Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee, the stadium would cost a total of $1.9 billion.
The renderings of the stadium, via MANICA Architecture and the Las Vegas Review-Journal, do portray a flashy, eye-catching stadium.

According to the SNTIC report, Las Vegas can expect $100 million worth of media exposure per year from the Raiders.

Now that the move is a definite, the Raiders are Sin City's first NFL team.
