They have the summer league there, but that's mostly first and second-year players who are there for the league. LA is the offseason training center for a large plurality of NBA players. LeBron, Carmello, Chris Paul, Kevin Love, Russell Westrook, and Klay Thompson are just some of the names of guys who live in LA during the offseason. They work out at Pauly Pavilion all summer. I'm sure @Lou can tell you all about that.

Once again, I don't think Vegas is an unreasonable market, but it will be an expansion team or a team from a market like Tampa Bay or a market much smaller than Southern California moving there. 

Your wrong.  Quite a number of players make Vegas their summer homes.  I know that first hand.   They enjoy the Vegas night life.

Time to stop debating side issues.

You guys ignore the concept of air conditioning and retractable roofs.

one correction: they run at the Student Activities Center or the Wooden Center, not Pauley.

The purpose of adding chunks of peanuts to the peanut butter is to reduce the amount of peanuts used to make the product. It does not improve the product.

Tank likes his pumpkin pie with chunks of pumpkin in it.

Don't even ask me how he enjoys his chicken nuggets

Why would anyone willingly want to live in Las Vegas?

Why would anyone willing want to play baseball in Las Vegas during the summer?

OK I'm rising to the occasion.  

Do you know where all those new Nevadans are from?  California.  Mainly Southern California.  

I knew one guy that moved from Orange County in the early 2000's.  He had a 2 bedroom 750 sq ft home there, built in 1940's.  One with the flat roof that you put rocks on top of to keep the roofing paper down (they're all over Orange County).  He sold it for nearly half a million, bought a brand new 4 bedroom 2000 sq ft home in Vegas for $150,000 and put the rest in the bank. I bet that crappy 2 bedroom home is close to a million now and has 3 families living in it.

There is a huge business park a couple miles from where I live.  Almost all the businesses in it are originally from California.  

The reason they moved?  Higher taxes. The owners can make a better living here.  There is a fallacy that everyone here works at a casino.  Honestly it's not true.

I walk my neighborhood, or a couple of the local parks late at night in the summer (it's cooler).  If I tried that in the neighborhood I grew up in (in California), I would be dead.

So the air conditioning bill is higher in the summer.  I'll take that trade off.
