I’m just rambling out dumpy casinos. Heck I’ve stayed at the Hacienda and Stardust. I’m sure they can survive Circus Circus.If you're willing to stay in any of those places, have at it. I'll certainly pass. No chance the NHL or anyone with any means would stay there by choice.
Circus Circus was an MGM Property along with Treasure Island which was also sold years ago.
Palace Station just underwent huge renovation.
(Caesars just sold Circus Circus)
AHL Henderson is supposed to play there in the fall. So unless something else is scheduled, it might be iced up for practice.
The Raiders will always be Oakland’s/LA’s team. Had they gotten an expansion team, it would be different. I see no reason why the Knights wouldn’t still be the top team in town.Will the Knights be more successful than the Raiders?
I mean I know the business model is great for the NFL in Vegas. But amongst Vegas locals, you gotta think the Knights will be their number one team no?
What happens when players and team staff begin to test positive? Let's not fool ourselves, it will happen. Will some players be banned from taking the ice? Could an entire team be placed into isolation for 14 days? Will other players refuse being forced to play with infectious persons?
Las Vegas will look a lot different when it re-opens. People need to realize that.
Canada never stood a chance.Seems like a bad choice when you have places like Vancouver reaching or very near 0 cases
I would have thought so, but I have a strong feeling that the powers that constitute "Vegas" will try to go the "this thing didn't really happen, let's carry on as before to make some $$$" route. The economics of Vegas only make sense in a pre-Covid world, so they will be the last ones to acknowledge a need for major changes.
NBA: we want Vegas!
MGM: Nah, we're a hockey town.
Pieces are falling into place...

NHL and NHL Security will try to ensure the boys can play safely
what does this even mean?Las Vegas will look a lot different when it re-opens. People need to realize that.

I know that hotel discussion boards I visit (I have worked in hotels for over 30 years all over the world) are discussion the "demands" from the NHL and some of them are interesting to say the least. The NHL is trying to get exclusive use of the hotels meaning that no one but those associated with the NHL or NHL teams can stay in the hotels. Also, it looks like the NHL is trying grind the rates down low in exchange for "all the free press" the hotel will be getting
for me, the reason why we have not heard which are the hub cities yet is because the cities in question have not been willing to underwrite more of the overall costs that will be incurred
Nevada among low rates of infection and among first to start reopening.
If players have entire block with resort amenities, including night club and pool, segregated/blocked off from the world, why would they need to leave bubble to recreate?
As it is, today, no nightclubs nor pool day clubs are open. Casinos still closed, but signs are they may reopen in June, with 50% capacity on casino floor. Big corporations are only opening select properties; MGM only opening 2 of their dozen, for instance. No evening entertainment/shows open either.
It's gotta be a Canadian City.
I had said in the past how there are many venues in Edmonton (Rogers Place with two rinks and re-open Rexall Place temporarily) and the Lower Mainland (aka Vancouver). I would say Toronto but COVID is too intense in Ontario, would say Quebec considering they have so many out there but COVID is the worst there.
Would love to say Winnipeg, but all we have is BMTSP and Max Bell.
But let us not forget how Las Vegas barely has any rinks out there.
