MGM Resorts In Talks for Potential NHL Las Vegas Team
MGM Resorts is considering bringing a NHL team to Las Vegas, but would such a venture be profitable?
MGM Resorts Global is in initial talks with a combined team that wants to bring a nationwide Hockey League Team to Las Vegas to play at the organization’s new $350 million sports arena. The 20,000-seater MGM-AEG Arena, which is presently under construction behind New York ny, is crying out for the major league sports to call it house, since could be the entire city of Las Vegas.
The business’s CFO Dan D’Arrigo divulged the information during an interview using the Las Vegas Review-Journal, although he declined to express perhaps the talks dedicated to the creation of a new team or of a preexisting group moving to the city. Conveniently, AEG, MGM’s partner in the arena, already owns the Los Angeles Kings NLH team.
MGM and AEG went ahead using the sports arena project without the guarantee of a major league resident, that it could attract 100 to 150 events per year, with a steady stream of concerts and awards shows, as well as mixed martial arts and boxing events, hockey and college basketball tournaments because they were confident.
UFC, the biggest mixed martial arts company on the planet, owned by Stations Casinos’ Fertitta brothers, has pledged to put up five or six fight that is annual at the stadium. The Fertittas are also head honchos at Ultimate Gaming, Stations’ online poker existence in Nevada.
