It’s official: Las Vegas is getting an NHL team. Which means Sin City is losing its status as one of the largest U.S. metropolitan areas without a major professional sports team. For Las Vegas, an NHL team is a hard-won victory for a city that has long desired a professional team of its own. And it comes even after the city has taken the lead to become the new home of the NFL’s Raiders franchise. From zero teams to potentially two — that’s quite a coup for Vegas sports fans. And it shortens the list of major metro areas that don’t have a single pro sports team of their own.
