People go to Vegas anyway. How many people at Knights games went to the game because they were in Vegas already or we’re planning a Vegas trip and just scheduled to go to a game, if the arena wasn’t there they still would have gone.

I think adding baseball to the strip will be great for the folks who are already vacationing there. Now they'll have 40 or so hockey games plus 81 baseball games plus 8 football games to serve as additional entertainment throughout the year. Folks are always looking for other things to on the strip when they aren't in casinos so it's simply another activity to add on to the itinerary.

But yeah I agree, I don't see a ton of people flying in because of baseball.

I'll probably go out tthere every other year when the Braves are playing there but that's just one data point.
