The National Lacrosse League has one team playing in a casino, with the New England Black Wolves at Mohegan Sun Arena. Could another one be coming?
According to Charley Walters of the Pioneer Press, maybe.
Nashville and Las Vegas considered potential sites for departing Minnesota Swarm of National Lacrosse League.

We’ve heard the Nashville rumor plenty of times now, but this is the first mention of Vegas for the Swarm. We’ve also heard about Tampa Bay, Winnipeg, and Milwaukee. Las Vegas is a non traditional lacrosse market to be certain, but it could be an interesting idea to explore.
The NHL will be adding a team in Las Vegas in the next couple of seasons. Could this be a tandem set to work together?
The NLL has held their owners meetings in Las Vegas in the past, maybe setting the bar for this possibility. It remains to be seen if the Swarm will actually consider Vegas, or if this is just one mention of it. From Walters’ tweet, however, it sounds like they are considering it.
