65 percent of Vegas population works in the evening/night, when games are being played. This is not a grass roots hockey environment at all. There is good reason why there are no pro sports teams in Vegas.

They average over 3 million (closer to 3.5 in 2014) visitors each month. It wouldn't be inconceivable for them to put some of those butts in chairs. The biggest problem would be the general lack of support for the home team, as I imagine the ownership would have a large emphasis on group trips for fans of the visiting teams.
