NBA Leaves its Mark in Las Vegas [J. Mark English]
Perhaps Las Vegas and the NBA do not mix afterall. David Stern all but assured that the NBA will never come back to the city of sin with this statement:
If Las Vegas hopes to have the NBA All-Star Game return in the future, it must have a new facility for the league to showcase its best players.
Commissioner David Stern said Sunday before the playing of the 2007 All-Star Game that the NBA will not return to the Thomas & Mack Center.
"No," was Stern's reply when asked whether the league would be willing to return to the UNLV campus for its midseason showcase. "We did a one-time thing at the Thomas & Mack. They're not equipped to hold major-league events at that building."...
..."We had to bring in a lot of things," he said. "Power. Video screens. There were a lot of things that needed to be done."
Somehow I think Vegas will survive. It was a fun weekend nonetheless. Talk about awkward though with the Wayne Newton performance...And what was up with Siegfried and Roy?
