well my question would be, will the revenue of a NHL team bring in more revenue due to foot traffic to/from a NHL game .... versus the shows they have now?
Maybe I'm wrong here, but I think a decade ago, they banked on things like cheap food / events / themes to traffic through their casino's and increase revenue. The past 10 years, I think they are changing that model of success (or if they are even focusing on Vegas)..... I don't gamble, so I don't know much about comps or the behavior of comps, but I do notice that Las Vegas entertainment is pretty expensive, so they aren't being as charitable with their entertainment as they used to be to generate foot traffic.
Also.... I think they really have to be banking on the Fri/Sat nights to get both (a) attendence, (b) comps for people to go see the shows. Past the weekend, its a lot more dead. And even then, I would think that when you are on vacation to go somewhere, you would want to be doing something different then what you normally do at home..... but I do recognize that I could be entirely wrong and people don't get enough of the 41 games home games as STH that they will travel to go see even more games.
