Has Las Vegas Become the Best Sports Travel Destination for Tourists?

Las Vegas is a paradise for gamblers, for foodies, for A-list entertainment enthusiasts, for lovers of nighttime clubbing and daytime pool parties, and so much more.

Has it also become the country's premier destination for sports fans?

You'd be hard-pressed to find a comparable city that offers more - from an overall perspective - on the court, the ice, the field, the ring and the arena.

In just a short amount of time, Las Vegas

- Two years ago, Las Vegas lured the Oakland Raiders to relocate its franchise to Sin City. Now it has one of the most state-of-the-art stadiums in the country and the naming rights holder, Allegiant Airlines, is packing deals for tourists to come and see their team play the Raiders and enjoy a weekend in Vegas.

- In 2017, Las Vegas drew its first pro franchise when the expansion Golden Knights joined the National Hockey League. In just four years the Knights have become one of the most successful hockey franchises in the league, including an appearance in the Stanley Cup finals.

- The city could also be on the cusp of a Major League Baseball team. Officials have offered free land in suburban Summerlin, Nev., if the Oakland Athletics relocate.
