The fact that it's in Vegas will make it much more appealing to fans of the other 31 teams to turn it into a party weekend.
In the end, even though the Raiders will be playing in a state-of-the-art, amazing stadium, it probably hurts them more than helps them.

Yup. Another reason it would be good for the Chiefs, especially if they get more KC fans for the away game against the Raiders.
Everybody wins (including the Raiders' owner with a full stadium) except the Raiders on the field (and they're used to that).
