I lead a purer lifestyle, which is why I will be starting my new business venture there called "The Monastery", which will feature Vegas Monks doing a Gregorian chant and magic act.  Rumors that it will also house an opium den and brothel are unfounded. Really.

I already came up with Bikini Monk Belgian Brewing.  You're walking a thin trademark line.

I think they will be OK. Charlotte and ATL have more skrip clubs per capita than Vegas, and nothing ever happens there.

Lots of bunny ranches and gambling too?  Vegas is synonymous with bad decisions. 

And before everybody gets all white and going on about the lovely buffets don't even tell me you didn't have a "naughty" thought in your suburban noggin. 

I've been to Vegas once.  I have a Ph.D in bad decisions.  Vegas is the MIT of bad decisions.

I personally don't care if Oakland moves to Vegas, I just think it'll be entertaining.  Like transvestite hooker with Hello Kitty stuck in the ass kind of entertaining.

I've lived in Vegas for 17 years now.    It's what you want it to be and that's why it's the best city in the country.    Want to make bad decisions while chasing the finest tail the world has to offer?  Vegas is for you.   Want to go wake boarding with the Hoover Dam and Pat Tillman bridge in the background before canoe trip down the Colorado to hot springs?  Vegas is for you.   Want to play a round on some of the best golf courses the world has to offer and then go to one of the top steak houses in the world?  You're catching on now.

Hiking in Red Rocks, Golf, Lake Mead, shows, Dinning and even snow boarding.   Whatever you want, you can get it here.   Except for the beach, San Diego is 4 hour drive or Mandalay pool has a fake beach too.  Great for concerts on summer nights.

Broncos fans are pretty excited about this.  It's an easy flight from Denver and they'll be there every year.  I have a friend that's a Raiders fan who lives in the Bay area and even he's excited.  This is just a great idea, all around.  Can't wait to see the Packers play there some day.  

Yup..  who doesn't want to go to Vegas for a weekend and watch your team play?   

They could make the stadium 100k seats and it would sell out.

Mrs. Blair Kiel and I are retiring 90 minutes away from Vegas in......St. George Utah. You actually drive through Northern Arizona to get to St. George from Vegas. Just think about it,  Mormon wholesomeness lifestyle only minutes away from meeting up with Henry for debauchery on the Strip.

God Bless America.

....and my sister wife. 

Beautiful area.   Mesquite has some nice courses not far from there and the casinos give away rooms with golf and spa packages.  

Plus, they have a Culver's.

Vegas owns Mount Rushmore of bad decisions. I've been to Vegas a dozen times. It's worse than bourbon street. Far worse. You get filthy drunk on bourbon street. You can lose your savings account in Vegas. I actually watched it happen at the MGM over the course of six hours. 

Someone on the Raiders will gamble more than they should. That will become a problem. That will lead to more gambling. That will lead to debt. That will lead to growing debt. That will lead to a debt that someone wants recovered. It's bad if it's a team exec. It's worse if it's a player. It's probably going to be a player. Imagine if that player is cut? 

Have you heard of this crazy invention called airplanes?    There are casinos all over the country.  You got Oneida, I'm shocked no Packers have gone belly up.  

Also, a lot of pro athletes already live here during the offseason.

Was just in Vegas a couple weeks ago.  If I were to live there, I would probably die homeless and broken as sportsbooks would be the death of me (I love gambling on sports and am quite poor at it).  I did the smart thing and in the 5 days I was in the Vegas area I only went to the strip once.  Went to Red Rock canyon one day, took a side trip to a national park in Utah and even got to hang out in Blair Kiel's city of retirement for a brief few minutes as we tried to figure out where the hell we were going.

Station Casinos have $1 beers and $1 hot dogs in the book on Saturday and Sunday during football season.    You don't have to gamble, go and soak up the atmosphere and grow the gut.

Well that settles it.  I'm moving in.  Do you supply pasties or is there a titty spinners store nearby?

Sounds like BrainDed may volunteer to host the TimesFour party at the Raiders-Packers game the first time GB travels to Vegas. The problem is that Green Bay played in Oakland in 2015, so they aren't scheduled to play in the Raiders stadium until 2023.

Maybe Goodell decides to award Vegas a Super Bowl and the Packers can get into that one. A Super Bowl in Vegas might have the most potential for multiple TMZ meltdowns in history.

It already happens.....why, I've read on this site many times that the games are fixed.   That's proof enough for me.

No, no...thanks , St George it is. See you in a few years.

What's the ballpark for a nice estate with a view ?? 

Been to Vegas twice.

'68, family vacation in the '65 Chevy Impala Station Wagon. WI=>TX=>CA=>WI in 16 days. Dad, mom, and 7 kids... On our way through dad stopped on the strip long enough to drop $0.25 into a slot... he did not win. I threw up all over my sisters coat after drinking every flavor of Jolly Good soda the night before at my aunt and uncles in Anaheim. 

'09, with my 3 brothers. We spent a day at the Shelby museum. Hopped over to Hoover Dam. Saw a classic car show at the Fremont Street Experience. Helped a very drunk 20 something girl find her friends... then helped her to security as her friends were no help.

Why did Dolphins object?

The owner said the league owed legacy cities a debt.

 

As recently as 2013 the NFL would not allow the All-Star game in Vegas, or a pre-season game. Now that each team will get a one time payment of $11 million they sold their soul to the gambling center of the nation. What could possibly go wrong with a team based there.

It's funny that each team is only getting $11 million each from Mark Davis who had to negotiate that cost down becasue it's pretty much all he could afford. Normally other owners receive far more in relocation fees from the owner that's relocating.

As owners go. Mark is the owner that could only afford the social membership at the country club but still carries his golf clubs around to give the impression he's got full privieges. 

Been to Vegas 4x for bidness in the last year and countless times before especially when we lived in So Cal.

I can handle that place in small doses (2-3 days is best for me) as you tend to get sensory overload.  So it's perfect for a weekend NFL Vegas bender. 

I am usually in the NFLFU crowd but this is a brilliant move and it should make a lot of money for the Raiduhs and revenue sharing for the league.

Goodell is going to have a sh!tfit that they're playing off the Raiders' trademarks.

That's what you get when you sell your soul to the highest bidder. Really, did Goodell not think things like this were going to happen? As long as businesses don't infringe on trademark, they can put up all the theme businesses they want. But if the NFL was already losing kids playing because of worry over concussions, this type of publicity/fringe businesses aren't going to help moms (and many dads) encourage their kid to play football.

You do realize that prostitution isn't legal, although it should be, in Clark County?    Google is your friend.  

Also, there are no hookers in New York or San Francisco.   Absolutely none.   It's amazing.   Furthermore, nobody in ATL, strip club capital of the US, ever watched a Falcons game with a stripper on their lap.   Southern gentleman just don't do that. 

Yes, I feel compelled to defend my city.   Sorry, I will stop now.
