Las Vegas acquired four major professional sports teams in eight years — the fastest pace of major franchise arrivals in U.S. sports history. The Golden Knights (2017), Aces (2018), Raiders (2020), and incoming Athletics (2028) have made Las Vegas a genuine sports city that draws 62% of Raiders game attendees from out of town. Here are 40 verified statistics on Las Vegas sports.
- 547,097 total fans at Raiders home games in 2025 (9 regular-season + 1 preseason), averaging 62,260 per game (Las Vegas Stadium Authority via Las Vegas Review-Journal, May 2026).
- 62% of Raiders 2025 game attendees from out of town; 83% cited the game as primary reason for travel to Las Vegas (Las Vegas Stadium Authority).
- 1.7 million fans at all Allegiant Stadium events in 2025 — up from 1.4M in 2024, matching 2022 record (Las Vegas Stadium Authority, February 2026).
- 17,975 average Golden Knights attendance per game in 2024-25 — over 100% of T-Mobile Arena’s 17,500 capacity (CNBC Official 2025 NHL Team Valuations).
- 11,553 average Aces attendance per game in 2025; Aces won the 2025 WNBA Championship defeating Phoenix Mercury 4-0 (Wikipedia 2025 Las Vegas Aces season).
- Super Bowl LVIII (February 2024) was held in Las Vegas — the first Super Bowl in city history, generating approximately $550M+ in economic impact (LVCVA).
- Las Vegas has positioned itself as the “Sports and Entertainment Capital of the World” — a deliberate strategic brand (LVCVA official positioning, 2025).
1. Las Vegas Raiders Statistics
The Raiders drew 547,097 fans in 2025 despite finishing 3-14 — one of the worst records in the NFL. This attendance figure demonstrates that Las Vegas Raiders games function as tourism products, not simply sporting events. When 62% of your audience is from out of state and 83% of those out-of-towners came specifically for the game, you’re not running a local sports franchise — you’re running an entertainment destination that happens to have a football team playing inside it.

2. Vegas Golden Knights Statistics
The Golden Knights averaged 17,975 per game in 2024-25 — slightly above T-Mobile Arena’s 17,500 fixed-seat capacity, suggesting standing room inventory was used on multiple occasions. The franchise reached the Stanley Cup Finals in its inaugural 2017-18 season (losing to Washington), won the Stanley Cup in 2023, and has been a consistent playoff contender since. No expansion franchise in major North American professional sports has had a stronger inaugural run.

4. Las Vegas Sports Market Context
Nevada legalized sports betting statewide decades before the rest of the U.S. — the NFL famously used this as a reason to resist Las Vegas expansion for years. The actual data tells a different story: 83% of out-of-town Raiders attendees came specifically for the game, not the sportsbook. Golden Knights games sell out to over 100% capacity. The Aces won back-to-back WNBA championships. Las Vegas sports venues are legitimate sports destinations driven by team performance and fan loyalty, not just adjacent gambling activity.
