      I hope it’s something juicy and nefarious but probably just having a constant supply of tourists with money to spend, looking to be entertained has more to do with it.

        Especially for an indoor sport, you can create a whole faux luxury experience lol. Of the major sports, the NBA makes the most sense for Vegas.

      If they can use Golden Knights arena for basketball (in the same way the bulls share with the Blackhawks) you don’t have to build a new stadium, which would be a huge cast reduction for a new team
