Probably a good amount of people come from out of town to watch their own team while they are in Vegas also. That said....I was in Vegas a few months back. The city has a lot of Raider references in stores around the casinos. The stadium is cool looking. They are creating a nice tailgating setup. I think it is close to Mandalay Bay near the stadium..a bud light zone. While I was there, there was no football going on, but baseball was and it seems there is a big Dodger following. I'd wake up in the morning and the casinos were filled with a lot of Dodger playback on the tv's from the night before, as if Vegas's team was the Dodgers. They also get a lot of Californians that road trip there on weekends.
