Las Vegas Venereals would be quite fitting also.

It's true - the only non-gamble is a place the Leafs have always blocked (even though I doubt it would hurt their revenue one red cent and would create a great new rivalry).

Cliche as it may be, "Las Vegas Gamblers" would be a great name.
Also "Las Vegas Black Aces" is no worse than "Tampa Bay Devil Rays".

And they changed their name to the Rays.

They did, but in part because of some stupidity surrounding the idea that the word "devil" had cursed the team.

I know they rarely will take the lesser league's team name, but Las Vegas Wranglers is really cool to me. Any reference to a gambling name would be tacky as hell to me.

I'll bite. How many avid NHL fans do you think there are in the Quebec City Area? Or Southwestern Ontario? And how many in Las Vegas?
Maybe it grows the game, but there are hundreds of thousands of people hoping for a team elsewhere.

I thought they were dumb going to Nashville, "We just want to use this as a gateway to the NFL" Tennessee, but I was wrong.
