The NFL took the toughest stance, even refusing to accept Las Vegas tourism advertising for <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl" title="Super Bowl">Super Bowl</a> telecasts<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and threatening to file suit against any local hotels holding Super Bowl parties.<sup id="cite_ref-Forbes_Smith_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Forbes_Smith-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Hotels got around the legal threat by referring to the Super Bowl as "The Big Game" rather than its actual name in advertising.<sup id="cite_ref-Forbes_Smith_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Forbes_Smith-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In addition, some potential owners believed a professional sports franchise would have difficulty gaining an audience, given Las Vegas's numerous entertainment options.

Las Vegas also has a high percentage of residents working in 24-hour occupations, many of whom work nights and weekends when most games would be played. The Las Vegas area also has a rather transient population, with a significant percentage of its residents being transplants, many of whom are loyal to the teams from their former cities and/or states, causing doubts that a professional sports team could gain an audience. </p><p>Several owners of other sports franchises disagreed. <a href="/wiki/Miami_Marlins" title="Miami Marlins">Miami Marlins</a> owner <a href="/wiki/Jeffrey_Loria" title="Jeffrey Loria">Jeffrey Loria</a> described Las Vegas as "a potential gold mine" for a professional sports team owner.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
