Las Vegas

[kiwitiger]

Is Matt Lodge allowed to go? Hes at manly these days...not sure next year

I might go when we get our chance

Would be awesome

You'll love it t05p.
I did a 16-day bus tour of the west coast of the U.S.A. 'many years ago' and Las Vegas was one of the places we went to.
It cost me $639 which included air fares, accom. and most meals.
We stopped in Hawaii on the way over and Tahiti on the way home.
If I won Lotto, I'd go again without hesitation.

Surely the whole point of taking games to Vegas is to crack the lucrative US betting market? The chances of establishing a foothold in the competitive US sporting landscape is somewhere between nought and zero.

Absolutely correct TV, this is all about the gambling dollar as another string to the bow of US punters.
It’s the same principle ( in reverse) that the NFL use when they take games offshore.

Just reading an old article from last year that says the NRL could stand to make up to $20mAUD in betting taxes via the US market.
Certainly seems a worthwhile risk to show the game live in the gambling Mecca with the hope of that type of return.

Penrith didn't want to go in '24. They want to go when their stadium is being worked on. Not sure if Melbourne were in the running though.

All clubs were invited to submit a proposal and the four selected were supposedly the most compelling.

Just remember when you go to collect your winnings they take out 28% ( I think) tax when they pay you.
Eg hit a $1000 jackpot you get paid $720.

I was lucky enough to see 2 amazing shows on the same night when I was there.
1st show was 'Hallelujah Hollywood' followed by the '5th Dimension' who were very popular at the time, in another casino.

Two of those clubs (Manly and Souffs) have Jackman and the Gladiator to drum up support among their show biz buddies over there.

 

[Yossarian]

I don't why the NRL would pick three Sydney teams. Surely one or two of the Warriors, NQ and Melbourne must have made more sense...

Home game in Las Vegas? Pascoe must be fuming he missed out
