    The Las Vegas Whales?

    Man vegas is off the hook atm. The strip is looking like it does on new years. Just watch the coverage on TNT.
    Trying to get a pro sports team of some kind here has been a long time dream of our mayor/city. There's been lots of talks that fell through. We were promised the worlds largest most versatile sports stadium at one time. This weekend is sort of a gesture from the mayor to the NBA to prove that we have the audience. It seems like we're being taken seriously this time. The town is packed with celebs and I thought I was in an escalade parade on the way home from work last night. A host I work with had to drive diddy all around yesterday. And just now the guys on inside the nba voiced their support for putting a team here.
    Looks like all that's left is to pick a name.

    doubtful they'll use a name synonymous with gambling... shades of Pete Rose... in the basketball world.

    I'd get behind a team called the Las Vegas Spread though...

    The Utah Jazz played a season in Vegas a while back to see if they could get enough support to move there permanently. A lot of people went to the games but they were always cheering for the other team. Needless to say they came back to Utah.

    I'm not that hard to imitate. Just make some random negative claim at Apple or anything else for that matter and then have nothing to back it up.

    Gambling is one of the major hang ups. Vegas has to take local sports off the books to avoid suspicion of fixing.

    Not bad gerbs. We used to call the T&M the shark tank. They had shark shaped spot light covers that made a bunch of sharks "swim" around the arena.
    I heard Mayor Oscar Goodman (former mob lawyer) say "Las Vegas Oscars" on CNN today. He's a little pompous but a pretty good guy.
