Yep, I wonder what the average working person in Nevada thinks of this? I’d say they’re not thrilled.

My friends there all seem to think its all a good thing for Las Vegas and NV. They see it as another way to draw people from CA and AZ, and in addition to coming for a game, some will spend money in hotels/casinos/restaurants/etc.

During NHL games, the resorts, casinos, and restaurants are filled with people wearing NHL jerseys for both the local Vegas Golden Knights and the visiting teams.

In vegas talk, they call all the money coming into the casinos and restaurants from events as "the drop". The NHL's nightly drop into the vegas economy is over well over a couple of million.

Multiply that 5 times for nfl events such as the raiders and the super bowels.
