Case by case handling sets a precedent they may not want to deal with.

If you look at the CA District angle, this is one more incentive to push CA into the District model. Forces CA to get it done! It's in their best interest to if Las Vegas might go away.

This is only 2 of dozens of potential motives.
This is not true. CA was getting a 7th regional regardless of whether or not the Las Vegas Regional exists. There is no way this was an either or proposition, where CA could come up with the money, and NV could not.
