It’s kind of ironic. Vegas do not want to deal with the kind of crowds that NBA brings to town.

LV deals with numbers, hard numbers...big fights always see the total handle go way up..if an NBA event drives the handle down...well...that's a diffeent kettle of fish.

Original projections for the viability of an NBA franchise there projected that the casinos would buy 50-75% of the tickets to give to their guests...I never thought that would happen, because the LAST thing the casino operators want to do is remove the bettors ferom the hotel for several hours each night..it's an interesting perspective...
