@smitty10 sounds like VGK would not share facilities with VSK (Vegas Silver Knights, for abbreviation purposes). There's a new facility being built in conjunction with the city of Henderson (about 25 miles from the facility that VGK uses), which sounds like they'll be HQ'd there. Some development coaches may do double duty with the AHL team.
(But I'd expect VGK brass to attend every VSK game, scheduling conflicts notwithstanding)
VGK franchise date is 6/1/2016. (Which is more than three years ago. )
Before VGK: 51s (MiLB)
After VGK: 51s->Aviators (MiLB), Lights FC (USL), Aces (WNBA), Raiders (NFL)
I count five now. Six if there's an AHL team.

Jesus Christ.... 3 years ago this city didn't even have a single team and now they've got 2 professional teams and now possibly an AHL affiliate.

If you really want to get technical, only the Lights play in the city of Las Vegas. The Strip is part of (city of) Paradise, which is where VGK plays, and Raiders and Aces. 51s played in LV city, but made a name change when they changed venues to the (city of) Summerlin.
