Well, yes. But having been to Vegas multiple times, going during March Madness is my absolute favorite since I am a degenerate sports gambler

Raiders moving to Las Vegas really explains Fallout: New Vegas

Every team that plays the Raiders will travel to Vegas to see them. Raiders fans will have to get used to visiting fans. As in, don't stab them.

Yeah, not just that, there's way more real security, I mean dudes who will gently caress you up, in Vegas clubs. Adam Jones aside, poo poo gets snuffed quickly in Vegas.

They will punt forever, shiny and chrome.

If Vegas gets both the Raiders and an expansion NHL team after this year, that'll be pretty cool for the people who live there (which is a shitton of people for the fact there's no major sports teams), and it will make visiting even more awesome because those two seasons cover most of the year.

Kind of my point, though. If Johnny can get in trouble in Cleveland, how much more trouble can they all get into in Vegas?

I'm not just talking about being rowdy in nightclubs, either. Gambling, prostitution (legal and not), drugs, the Mob, Cirque du Soleil... the opportunities aren't just there, they're pushed in your face constantly.

If you're a regular Joe and you get out of control a the casino, you're out on your rear end pronto. But if you're a wealthy and famous athlete? The rules are a lot more flexible.
