It's not attractive from a players or a marketing standpoint.
Of course, how many other cities can tempt the NHL and players with two bootlegger and two the source locations in the same mall? Or banners commemorating 9 sold out concerts? so maybe?

What does it matter if a destination is "attractive" or not? The players aren't supposed to be out and about in the city.
Edmonton would be a way safer environment. If Memorial Day Weekend in America is any indication, it won't be long before Vegas is a complete mess of people running around, massive crowds, etc. By August/September it'll be a complete gong show.
