It is not really different from any other show in Vegas. Every time someone goes to a Cirque du Soleil they leave the casino and stop losing their money and yet the casinos keep sending people to see them and bring in new shows all the time.

What it comes down to is that a lot of people go to Vegas for the entertainment instead of the gambling. If the casinos can figure out a way to make the NHL a profitable show in Vegas then they would definitely be able to keep a team there indefinitely.
