Good move by the organization, it could position themselves well within the Latino community in Vegas which accounts for almost 1/3 of the population if you believe Wikipedia. Given the NFL will cater to money and the high end fan this is great way to grab a whole market segment for yourself. The Toronto Raptors did much the same thing apparently when they first started. They knew they could not compete against the Leafs and Jays and the high dollar corporate crowd so they targeted the minority population who they knew would normally not be able to go to a Leaf game. Over the years they have built a pretty hardcore base of fans from these minority populations and it is paying off huge now. They probably have one of the most diverse fan bases in the NBA and possibly any professional organization in North America.
I'm going to have to find these streams if they are online, my kids will love listening to the games. Would be cool if SiriusXM picked up this feed too.
