Count me in as skeptical on LV as an expansion market. Yes, I am sure the casinos and hotels could put a few bums in seats but I don't see hockey as a hugely attractive entertainment choice for visitors. Who would they cheer for? Why would you go if you don't care about the teams playing? There has to be a local fan base and this part of the US is not hockey interested. I also hate LV so maybe I am biased, but this would be a risky bet for expansion.
