There's the Orleans Arena, home of the ECHL Las Vegas Wranglers. Formerly an affiliate of the Flames, I saw Brent Krahn in action there once.
No, it's not a terribly big barn. Maybe 7K? The game I went to the crowd was moderately knowledgeable and judging by the number of jerseys and player familiarity there were a good number of local fans. Not even close to a full house though, but not great hockey.
