I go there a lot (3-4x per year? not for gambling or any of the weird sin city stuff though, don't worry).... actually know a lot of locals in the area... so don't get me wrong, I like Vegas as much as the next person.... but it is what it is. Yes, low taxes has brought at least a little bit of non-service business in the area, but you can't ignore the primary industry driving the economy there. Sport teams are geared towards the home town average person, the middle class.... its those fans that are keeping the successful teams in non-trad markets as successful as they are. But Las Vegas? Its going to be a lot tougher as income for the average is significantly lower. and the hours make it difficult to be fan in that kind of industry.
