Sources are telling the press that Las Vegas has landed the 2007 NBA All-Star Game. Are major sports franchises looming in Sin City's future? I'd say yes.

Kinda hard for MLB to consent.

Actually, I have a source that points towards the Tampa Bay Devil Rays exploring a move to Vegas. My dad knows some guys in the new ownership group of the D-Rays, and they say that if their new stadium/complex deal falls through, they'll start exploring a Sin City relocation.

Magic would like to buy an NBA team and move them to Vegas. One possible candidate is the (drumroll please)... Magic!

The Kings owners have a casino in Vegas where betting on the NBA is forbidden, and they are agreeing to no betting on the ASG that year, so it could be possible if they do away with NBA betting in the city.
