Vegas has really embraced the Golden Knights and the Raiders. The immediate success of the Knights, and the mystique of the Raiders and popularity NFL has really helped.

Vegas had long desired a pro franchise. Almost overnight they are getting their third one. I can understand enthusiasm for yet another team isn’t anywhere close as to when the NHL and Raiders announced they were coming to Vegas.

Vegas is a boom or bust city. They’ve busted a couple of times in the last 15 years. First was the housing crash, then Covid. Asking a bunch of service industry and tourism employees to be taxed during uncertain economic times for a low rent MLB owner to get a new stadium is a big ask.

Some cities boomed during the housing crash and Covid?
