I don't think that Winnipeg is a viable NHL market, but neither do I believe that Vegas is one...i keep flashing back to the CFL experiment in Vegas.

I have a hard time thinking many tourists would choose going to a regular season hockey game as opposed to Circue du Soleil or Celine Dion or the like, you go to Vegas to be entertained by a big event, even for hockey fans an average regular season game isn't that exciting. Lets face it who the hell is going to want to waste a night in Vegas watching Minny or Columbus play the locals in October or November.
I suspect Vegas would be much like Phoenix except there would be much more compatition for the entertainment dollar.
