I just straight up don't get the rational behind Vegas. The NHL as a whole can't compete against against NBA/MLB/NFL in many markets, and they think they can trump a dozen Cirque du Soleil shows, Garth Brooks, Celine Dion, Brittany Spears for entertainment dollars?

Even if we say an MGM is throwing money at the team hand over foot for every seat, the fact is empty seats don't buy beer/food/merchandise.
