OK, but hear me out (same topic, different direction)

On the Athletic, Zach Harper recently proposed that they name the team the Las Vegas Sinatras, which I think really stinks as a name but is going in an interesting direction.

So taking that angle: The Vegas Rat Pack

Yes? No?

Las Vegas Mafia has a nice ring to it...

Las Vegas Mafia has a nice ring to it...

The most iconic potential names associated with Vegas are likely things the NBA wants nothing to do with:

Vegas Mafia
Vegas Gamblers
Vegas What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas(ers)
Vegas Centerfolds
Vegas Fat Elvis....

I predict either a really bland desert animal (the Vegas Rattlers) or nonsense name like the Miami Heat (the Vegas Bets)

Too bad the Las Vegas Aces are already taken. That's a great one. (and a great team)

If I had to guess a legit answer, I'd go with the LV Bandits.

If it were my money, It'd be The Las Vegas Burnin' Love. It works on at least two levels. Or the Las Vegas Newton.

An Uber driver in Vegas once told me that you arrive on vacation and leave on probation. I thought that was pretty clever.
