Plus, Las Vegas may have the most fragile economy in the United States because it exists solely on tourism. 9/11 was disastrous for Vegas, with the 2008 economy and housing crashes maybe even worse. |

This. Paper thin economy and suites filled with Casino executives is not a good look.

The NFL has enough off the field problems to contend with each year. Could you imagine 10 games a year played in Vegas? Young wealthy guys with a night on their own with all of the strip clubs and high stakes poker games, not to mention the prostitution? The Dallas Cowboys wouldn't be able to field a team on Sunday. |

San Diego fills the stadium with opposing team's fans so I am sure Las Vegas could do even better.

Yeah I am doubtful the city itself could support a team. I do think the honeymoon period would be huge though with out of town fans making a weekend of it and filling the stadium (assuming they wake up before kickoff).

It won't happen, but it would really screw up betting on the NFL if it did.

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
