To persuade e-commerce giant Amazon to open a new headquarters in the Las Vegas area, state and local governments offered 84 acres of land in downtown Las Vegas. Among the landmarks on the proposed Amazon land: Cashman Field, home of the Las Vegas Lights soccer team; Cashman Center exhibit hall, a library and the former Reed Whipple Cultural Center. The proposal said Amazon would get the 84 acres for free if it met criteria. In January, Amazon released a list of cities the company considers for the second headquarters. Las Vegas didn’t make the list. (Las Vegas Review-Journal)
