My guess is they would close the upper deck unless they were getting exceptional attendance.

Where else in Vegas would be a suitable venue, not being local I’m not actually sure.
There's reason to think they could do ~12,000.
League averages this year
Saskatchewan: 13,459 (capacity: 15,195)
Buffalo: 13,046 (capacity: 19,070)
Colorado: 12,815 (capacity: 17,809)
Calgary: 12,594 (capacity: 19,289)
Philadelphia: 10,805 (capacity: 19,306)
Toronto: 9,477 (capacity: 18,800)
San Diego: 7,769 (capacity: 12,920)
Vancouver: 6,833 (capacity: 18,910)
Georgia: 6,699 (capacity: 10,500)
Rochester: 6,440 (capacity: 10,424)
New England: 5,527 (capacity: 7,074)
Although the league wide average attendance went up, most teams (most notably Buffalo, Saskatchewan, Colorado, and Toronto) were actually down due in part to a labor stoppage that resulted in multiple early season games being cancelled and then rescheduled later. The reason the leagu-ewide average went up is the expansion Philadelphia Wings as well as the Vancouver franchise doubling its attendance (their number looks low now, but they just had their first year under Canucks ownership and were previously struggling to draw 3,000 in a tiny arena in the suburbs).
Next year's expansion teams are Halifax (capacity 10,595) and New York (Nassau; capacity 13,917)
There have been many years where Colorado or Buffalo averaged 15,000-18,000. One season the Colorado Mammoth even out drew the Avalanche and Nuggets on a per-game basis (obviously they play fewer games at lower prices, but it was still impressive).

Yes, T-Mobile.
It's arena/box Lacrosse, not the bigger-field game that is prevalent in colleges and high schools around the country.
Saw a few games when SJ Stealth were around. It's on the hockey rink surface with astroturf on top. So you have all the boards and glass up for a normal hockey game, just with ice surface covered (insulating rubber, plus). So the only change-over between hockey and NLL is covering the ice and putting out different nets.
Fun, fast game.

There's plenty of potential places. Orleans Arena, Mandalay Arena, MGM Grand Garden, Thomas and Mack Center, but I'd assume Foley would want it in T-MA since he's got a little piece of ownership of the arena.

Hope we get the place we looked at today. It’s an apartment pretty nice one too and I’ve always wanted to live in an apartment.

In a house with lawns and gardens and for a lazy person it’s awful lol. I also think because apartments are fairly rare in NZ so it’s a bit of a novelty lolWords that are rarely uttered.
Where are you living now? Under a culvert?

I'll tell you from experience coming out of a house and into a highrise, it's kind of nice to not have to worry about anything. Light burns out? Send in a maintenance request and they take care of it.In a house with lawns and gardens and for a lazy person it’s awful lol.

We still have our house in Las Vegas and I visited it for the first time during the first round. I puttered around in the yard almost the whole time and I missed it. I kind of enjoy that stuff, though. I didn't enjoy it enough to want to do it all the time when I had to, but once I don't have to do it all the time, it's fun.

I like hockey.
But a lot of people will be going to and coming from the stadium on the monorail extension. 
Oh, wait. I forgot that's not happening.

Trying to spend less time in front of screen. Read 1.5 books in series. Lots of brain power required to keep people, locations, situations, relationships in order. Not willing to invest that much.

Yep. I've heard it's really convoluted. And I no longer have the sufficient gray matter to keep up with that sort of thing.

Almost as shocking as the percentage of cars with Knights stickers and license plates/holders even before the cup run is the number of Lights stickers I see. I'm a soccer fan and I still can't imagine a scenario where I'd go to a USL match. MLS would be a different story.
I would love that, just not the location. If it happens they better pump a lot of money into that area
