I should move to Vegas. I neither drink mass amounts(anymore) nor gamble at all.
Me, drinking, and gambling are the Bermuda Triangle. I spent damn near an entire night playing blackjack smoking Fuente cigars in a saloon in Deadwood. What a night that was!
You drop me in Vegas permanently and this is probably happening within a month.
I would never last in Vegas. I can't even imagine the amount of time I'd spend in the sports book at Ceasars. **** YOU LAS VEGAS!!! Hope to see you again soon.
Deadwood, in the old days, had $5 limits on blackjack tables. It was great. You could play all night, get free sandwiches at 3 AM and have rocky mountain oysters for breakfast and have only dropped 40 bucks.
I like Hickocks because the free beer was NOT Busch lite. Stayed at the Bullock one year too. If you can make it, Deadwood during Mardi Gras is boatloads of fun.
Skiing at Terry Peak and Deer run used to be dirt cheap.

You get tired of it and move on. The strip ends up just becoming like downtown of any other city. A place you try to avoid unless your woman demands a fancy night out.
I will say the Buffalo Wild Wings that is 5 mins from my house is open 24 hours and has gambling. That led to some fatness issues for a while.
This is definitely not going to end well. Horrible decision by the NFL. $ versus common sense... whoops.
All joking aside, how is this a bad move? California has played musical chairs with football long enough, I don't mind the switch. Less saturation of the market (even though vegas isn't that far away) and if Vegas can fill seats, who cares?
I'm not a young chicken anymore, but it's not like the Dolphins leaving Miami or Bears leaving Chicago. Oakland has been a nomad for a long time, and like someone said above, the moniker fits Vegas just fine.
If the Bears left Chicago, would anybody really care?
I would.
Does anybody really know what time it is

Me too.
I wish Chi-Town was good enough to finish 2nd in the North every season.

I might **** in the woods if they did.

If the Vikings left Minnesoda would Chillijon care?
When the Vikings were going through the whole "either you build us a huge glass bird coffin or were ****ing moving to LA" a few years back I was torn. Part of me wanted them to move and win a Super Bowl the first year somewhere else. A parade for the Vikings on Hollywood Boulevard on a 74 degree sun kissed Southern Cal February day while the state of Minnesota watched during a total 17 degree whiteout. Hoooo boy that would almost be worth it.
In the end the Vikings and their fans and the state of Minny are such a perfect symbiotic balance of fail, hate, pettiness, jealousy, fleeting hope, and blame. It would be a damned shame to see that broken apart when all three components are perfectly happy being miserable failures together. I'd hate to ever see that come to an end.
The rest of us are happy with them being miserable failures, too.
Per Ian Rap, several AFC teams (who will play OAK regularly) are already looking at hotels/facilities well off the Strip.
I'm not holding my breath that will work for certain teams with IDOT players.
Personally, 3 nights/4 days is my limit with Vegas. After that, it's just too much over load for me. My first time there I could literally hear the coins dropping from the slot machines in my head as I was trying to fall asleep in my suite. And no, I don't think that was by accident that sound was drilled into my head/hearing.
If the stay on the strip the friendly bar staff will gladly comp all libations the night before the game.

.....Utah is well off the strip.

Agreed. There is a lure of extravagance and decadence which is awesome for a couple of days. But there is also a scary undercurrent of failure for a more conservative person like me that thinks, "This place could bring me to personal and financial ruin if I stay here much longer".
I can imagine for someone who has a more addictive type of personality, Vegas is probably like a drug that entices them to the point that they lose everything if they are not careful.

Where do teams stay when they go to New Orleans? The French Quarter is probably a big temptation for guys as well.
I'm guessing teams will stay at Lake Las Vegas or the Red Rock Resort. You won't find decent accommodations without gaming though.

They'll be at the Venetian or Palazzo.
The NFL might actually build a hotel (including gaming) exclusively for the teams to stay at.
Maybe open it to public during the off-season.
There ya go another million dollar idea.
Hmmm reminds me of a certain shiny death trap for birds in Minnesoda...
Lynch won't be a Raider by the time the team moves
