Wel, there is that Tournament of Kings jousting thing at Excalibur. The Russian Knight is pretty bad ass.

Hope I'm wrong and this all works out.

Would be cool to have them in the Finals and do the WSOP/Stanley Cup finals double.

NHL is on board. NFL doesn't look to be too far behind. How long before an NBA team? 3/4 majors by 2026?

Probably would make sense to see how things go with the NHL first before other leagues consider Vegas.

It's a shame because NHL along with MLB is the least likely of the sports to succeed in Vegas. NFL would kill and NBA would do well also. It's a good hoops town.

Still can't believe people are rooting for this. Nothing against Vegas, but lol at rooting for any decision Bettman ever makes. Totally has given the middle finger to many people, especially small markets that actually like, support, and play hockey. But hey, let's put hockey in another desert!

Who cares, it ain't my money, and the only city where people actually like hockey that doesn't have a team is Quebec

NFL ain't coming to LV.
It's like you all don't know the "flirt with another city to get a stadium" deal. With Adelson et all willing to play the 'patsy' to get a stadium built rather than new convention space to compete with his existing convention properties.

Seems like such free money, but it's been so long since an expansion team, so maybe they can actually be ok.

At least the team will have 2 decent goalies. Plus 3 pt games.

Still, Team having under 72.5 pts has to be the bet.

I heard brief word on the radio today that baseball could be next to LV.

So PK Peladeau built a new arena in Quebec City for no reason? He had to have some kind of handshake deal, but now it seems like they're getting screwed over.
