It would eliminate most of the future's betting. You can't bet for or against a team in Nevada. So even if you put 50 dollars on the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, it would be considered a bet against a Nevada team so you wouldn't be able to place the bet.

Never knew that. Thanks for explaining.

They take futures bets in college basketball and manage to justify that's not a bet against UNLV. I am going to guess they also have futures bets for the Mountain West.

It will never happen.

The NBA won't even touch Vegas anymore thanks to all the crap that went down over the 2007 All Star game weekend

I think NBA would be an infinitely better fit. Too many ppl hate the Raiders. Lots of ppl all around the country would love to fall in love with an LV team, but not the raiders. If the NBA got a team there, they would automatically be my squad

FYI Raiders have their games on radio in Vegas and preseason games on Vegas TV.

Beyond that, it's a service industry town. There was 25%+ unemployment after the 2008 crash, plus housing prices plunged causing the most defaulted mortgages per capita in the US.

Their state government won't build a $1 billion dollar stadium and I can't see how they could possibly fill a 70,000 seat stadium on a consistent bases, let alone pay for PSL's.

This is a complete non-starter.
I'm hearing that people in league circles believe that is all bullshit.

Probably even a worse fit.

Not surprising.

And as I've mentioned in this thread, there isn't a chance in hell that 2 owners, let alone 24, approve an NFL team moving to Vegas.

Those billionaires are much, much smarter than that.

Could you imagine 41+ NBA games in Vegas each year?

The league would need to contract teams because too many players would be unavailable.

Yeah talked to him today and he laughed his ass off over Vegas. Said Stan has enough money it doesn't matter but Davis isn't even close to that guy.

It would be so awesome.

ESPN just reported that the Chargers are staying put now. What the hell? Guess Raiders to LA is still an option.

Los Angeles doesn't want the Raiders. The business leaders will block it.

I seriously doubt that Kroenke wants them either.
