I agree here. Vegas pertty much gives away tier 2 show tickets, that can barely seat 200 people. Its really hard to get people off the strip. Let alone 10k to watch the Florida Pathers or Edmonton Oilers. You go there on a weekday, its almost as dead as Reno.... I swear more than half of LV is weekend warriors from LA or somewhere else that has cheap Southwest flights there. Of the LA crowd, I think the majority are there to go partying and drinking and probably not to go to a hockey game. The other majority (ha) is there to zombie out in front of a slot machine. And this is pretty much best case scenario for weekend games, how about those Wednesday weekday games?

Maybe I'm wrong.... A system where you are trying to give away tickets in a market with heavy competition and entertainment is probably 3rd on the list, in a city that will be tough to have any base support.... I just have my doubts.
