NBA

It was absolute mayhem at my work on Friday. The NBA all star game is here in Las Vegas and I work at UNLV where they are holding the game. I was completely amazed how they dressed up the Thomas and Mack. However, more interesting was all the space in the parking lot that they reserved for the game. It’s being reserved for all the VIPs. What a production!!

It’s interesting because the All Star game in Las Vegas is really secondary to all the various parties that the players are holding before, during and after the game. Las Vegas is taking these parties to the next level. It’s been pretty incredible.

Of course there’s talk about having an NBA team here in Las Vegas. I think that it will happen eventually. The mayor, Oscar Goodman, is all about it and so it’s really just a matter of time. I think Las Vegas would really embrace it, but even more significant is fans from other teams that come to Las Vegas to see their team and enjoy the town.

For the record, I still don’t completely understand what everyone loves about Las Vegas. To each their own.
