A bunch of young men making millions where to spend it.
Imagine how the players wives will respond to everytime their husbands travel on a road trip to Vegas.

No red flags at all right
The NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL could have been in Vegas decades ago but have stayed clear of Vegas for good reason.
And Bettman wants to be the first one to venture there
Pro sports has a real fear and concern that players could be involved in fixing games by getting in bad gambling debts.
I could easily see the many lures of Vegas ruining players careers.
Quebec City, Seattle etc are much more sensible for the NHL.
NHL players are grown men, it's not up to the league to babysit them.

Considering that anyone can bet on sports from the comfort of their living room today, I don't that the threat of match fixing becomes a greater problem with having a team located in Vegas.
