I thought there were rules from way back saying no pro team (NFL, NBA, MLB) could have a home city that allowed sports betting?

Beyond that, it's a service industry town. There was 25%+ unemployment after the 2008 crash, plus housing prices plunged causing the most defaulted mortgages per capita in the US. Their state government won't build a $1 billion dollar stadium and I can't see how they could possibly fill a 70,000 seat stadium on a consistent bases, let alone pay for PSL's. This is a complete non-starter. |

Plus, Las Vegas may have the most fragile economy in the United States because it exists solely on tourism. 9/11 was disastrous for Vegas, with the 2008 economy and housing crashes maybe even worse. |

The NFL has enough off the field problems to contend with each year. Could you imagine 10 games a year played in Vegas? Young wealthy guys with a night on their own with all of the strip clubs and high stakes poker games, not to mention the prostitution? The Dallas Cowboys wouldn't be able to field a team on Sunday. |

San Diego fills the stadium with opposing team's fans so I am sure Las Vegas could do even better.

It won't happen, but it would really screw up betting on the NFL if it did.
