If the arena owner and the team owner are the same business, of course, then what you say is true. But is there really a casino in Vegas (or group of casinos under one ownership) so large that they can profit from putting 18,000 people on the casino floor all at one time? As I say, scaling is the problem.

1) Sorry, I didnt realize that. They might do it anyways, but their take-away would be significantly less.
2) Wynn, Ceaser's Ent., MGM, Sands? I think they're worth north of $10B each.
