"the lott group has the ability and the willingness...more than that..the passion to actually put the private money into this deal that i believe it will take to actually build a stadium under the conditions that mark davis has always said he needs" "sot" helping ease those posible concerns ... in that same interview the oakland mayor said she hasn't spoken to raiders owner mark davis in "a long time" davis had a big role in coming up with the las vegas stadium plan and lobbying for its approval. today i spoke with a representative from sands corporation who is a major player and the major private funder in this las vegas plan... coming up at 5 hear how he is reaction to this

funny when i came to las vegas i didn't think that it would be this big of a holiday but our team prepares for months to do the holiday weekend so last year was a record-breaking year for us and we're thinking we're going to beat that number this year"" but it's not just people coming in to town, i spoke to a representative from mccaren airport they tell me there are a lot of locals traveling out this time of year too. that' mixed with people picking up family from the airport makes for a a busy time at mccaren . this is why airport officials tell me they recommend getting to the airport early, and thinking about parking ahead of time since they tell me their lots fill up quick this time of year.

nationwide shortage of medical professionals. and it is a problem that is especially felt here in our valley. but change is on the way... and it starts at unlv. " if you do a medical school and residency in a city, then you're likely to stay there the rest of your life. " coming up... we will look at what our new medical school is offering future doctors in a special report. your fox5 weather 24/7 forecast is

later this year - unlv is opening a medical school. it's a huge boost for a college looking to solidify its reputation as a top tier university....but it's also a move that will increase the quality of life and quality of care for southern nevada res fox 5's kevin bolinger joins us with a look at why the medical school is being called "transformative". kevin on cam: in 2010 nevada ranked 45th in the country in the number of physicians per 100 thousand population....and 46th for primary care physicians. unlv and the state is working to flip the script on that stat - by creating a medical school that will change that state, the university and our state forever. video these nine acres on shadow lane near umc are about to be transformed.

unlv's new medical school - a chance for the university and the city to move out of the shadow of other cities...filling a need that will benefit everyone. len jessup/unlv president: we want to be a great university in this community and this is a way for us to do that. nationwide we have a shortage of 80 thousand primary care physicians - the largest in history. the supply and demand starts at the medical school level...where there are three times as many students applying as there are sports avaialble. the hope with unlv's medical school is to not only educate and train....but retain. dr. barbara atkinson/founding dean, unlv medical school: if you do a medical school and residency in a city, then you're likely to stay there the rest of your life. unlv is looking to make the med school cutting edge. one example is in anatomy - usually done with dissecting bodies using cadaevers. unlv will use a

reality. dr. barbara atkinson/founding dean, unlv medical school: we have these tables that are about the size of my desk that have bodies that have been x-rayed, mri'd and ct scanned and you can actually peel layers off. like the skin comes off first, then the fat and then it gets down to muscle. or you can just say to the table or the computer that's the table, show me the body that's just bones. then put the nerves in, then put the blood vessels in. then put in the muscles. you can s how they're all fit together. that will allow a three dimensional view that gives the same view as seeing the x-ray of a patient. there will be an emphasis on technology, communication, and working in teams that aren't just doctors but all kinds of medical specialists. kevin: while unlv's medical school plans are in its infancy, we wanted to come to one of the oldest and most respected medical schools in the country - vanderbilt here in nashville, where its leaders say unlv's plans will have a huge impact on the entire southern nevada community. dr. bonnie miller/vanderbilt university school of medicine: an academic health

other hospitals aren't able to offer like cancer centers or neuroscience centers that can provide services more locally that community members have to travel further away for now. right now - many southern nevadans have to travel to los angeles, houston and the bay area for treatment. the hope is within ten years - many of those specialties will be offered right here. dr. barbara atkinson/founding school: that's the goal. we don't want anybody to leave las vegas for anything. but there's more than just a benefit from the medical side - there's a financial gain as well. graphic fiscal impact studies show that by 2030 - the regional impact will be 3-point-6 billion dollars....more than 24 thousand jobs and government revenue exceeding 181 million. vo the state legislature has already approved the operational funding and private donations will build the facilities. unlv president len jessup says that formula means no

passed down to undergrad students. it's a game changer for the future. len jessup/unlv president: we want to be better connected to our community. we want to help. we recognize we need the community for the univeristy to get to the next level but the community needs a great university to get to the next level as well. kevin: here's an interesting sidenote - the local community has stepped up and money was raised to give all 60 students in the first class a full ride scholarship for all four years...meaning they leave medical school without student debt. at least 25 full rides will be given out for the next three classes with the hope of also making that the full 60. that makes unlv a very attractive option for students and allows the university to pick the best and the brightest of the applicants. back to you. interviews for the first class of students are already underway. the first round of classes begin on july 17th. now fox5 weather 24/7
