Nope, not all. And that's a valid point (as opposed to not liking the perceived glitzy/trashy nature of the city). But it does show that Vegas can be a sports town. It's 2 million people (Metro) and the average income is better than some think.
That all said, I'd rather see Seattle, Quebec or maybe Portland. Each of those has their own issues, though.
Maybe Edmonton should get an NHL team.
