The new stadium had its opening, Headliners Wayne Newton, Killers. CEO of the Wynn Casino says gambling revenue less. Has decided to make a lake on 130 acres replacing a golf course(looks like golf is not a big draw any longer). Where you can wind sail, boating,

During the '30's my father worked with the Civilian Conservation Corps building Hoover Dam. He took a train out west that stopped at a small town with a dirt road...called Las Vegas.

This is big News for Las Vegas. After years of courting professional teams. Board of Governors for NHL approved an expansion team LAS VEGAS WILL HAVE A PROFESSIONAL HOCKEY TEAM For the 2017/2018 season. Its been a long time coming.

There is talk now of other professional sports will now be open to Las Vegas. Hope so!

Other news construction is progressing on 2 Casinos slated to open soon. The convention center is now preparing for its expansion. So that once again Las Vegas will offer the best options for companies looking for convention space.

Thank you, ZAP, for telling us.

Do you know how the new team will get players?

Good question!. I don't really know with certainty. But it seems to me they get to select some from the draft. And this I'm really unclear about but I thought they get to choose a player from the roster of existing teams? Maybe someone can offer something more accurate

Usually with expansion draft the existing teams can protect so many players on their roster, the unprotected players can be drafted by the new team(s)...there are different variations...

Oh okay,
Thanks for that! Is that a separate draft from the normal draft of rookie players?

But here people are excited to a high level. Once LV was chosen a large number went to buy season tickets.

Just curious, your avatar is not the hockey team wings? I'm sure not. Every time I see it makes me think of the Detroit Red Wings[:)] It has so much the NHL look to it.

Yes, it would be a separate draft from the rookie draft...my avatar is from the original group "Wings", Paul & Linda McCartney, Denny Laine, the lineup changed over the years...the avatar logo...

There a 2 owners the Maloofs and Majority owner Foley( a Canadian by the way) Said since he is the Majority owner he will probably pick the name of the team. His favorite nick name is Black Knights

So a good chance they will be called the Las Vegas Black Knights. Personally, I like the Las Vegas Rat Pack

Maybe the Rat Pack will be the cheerleaders.

I hadn't thought about the cheer leaders! Though rat pack would not be appropriate. Something more in line with "The Follies Girls". And they use the follies girls costumes

No update for a while now. Is there nothing new happening in Vegas?

Zap · Post by **Zap** » Tue Sep 27, 2016 6:29 am

Always something new here.

A Chinese themed casino opens in December. Supposed to cater to Chinese visitors(make them feel at home).

Also in 2017 Will begin construction of a 4 billion dollar Asia themed Casino.

Now that Las Vegas has a PROFESSIONAL Hockey team this year, Las Vegas is making overtures to the National Football league to land a Pro Football team. Lots of pre planning and politics going on for that to happen.

One negative thing that has homeowners concerned is the increase in crime in neighborhoods. California let out a large amount of criminals from prisons(they claimed to have no money to house them). well, guess where they ended up? LasVegas. So some of the increase in crime is blamed on California.
One can get confused about Las Vegas thinking Casinos are what principally makes up Las Vegas. Consider, Las Vegas and surrounding neighborhoods comprise a population of 2 million people. So its more family life here then one might imagine. Though a large number of those people work at the Casinos

Some good points...just like in the 'SimCity' simulation, when you have the gambling element in your city, crime will go up, just ask the Las Vegas Police Department.
