People go to Vegas to gamble, not to go to football games, and people rarely ever sleep.  

I just think people would rather sit in a casino and gamble on the game than actually go to it.

Then again, people without a football team in their city might come to Vegas to gamble and to see a game, but I think people would just rather sit in a casino sportsbook and bet on games, especially since it will be blistering hot.

Also, people are typically only in Vegas 3 days (4 tops), and two of those are flight days, so would people really want to spend 4 hours (games last 3 hours and 12 minutes, plus you have to figure that they'd get there early and wouldn't get out right on after) of a very short vacation in a football game?

Maybe they could find a way to get a sportsbook in the stadium (even booths like her booths that you could place bets in).

I must be in the minority, but it just doesn't seem like a great idea to me.

2013

Las Vegas Metropolitan Population:  2.02 million
Las Vegas City:  600,000
Median Income:  $51,000

Growth trending up

Cincinnati Metropolitan Population: 2.2 million
Cincinnati City Population:  200,000
Median Income:  $33,000
Growth trending down 

In 2013 the Populations of these two metro areas were nearly the same with LV slanted heavier towards the downtown sector and trending upwards while Cinci was trending downwards.  Also the average population has more money to spend.  Given these facts I'd say LV would do well with an NFL team.
