Message: [QUOTE="MSGRET, post: 4025847, member: 8506"] Carnac it is now officially 5 D1 Conferences, the Big West became the fifth after playing in Vegas last year because Anaheim refused to let them have the Championship there. The Big West officially moved it to Vegas (actually Henderson) in June. One of the major reasons was cost, they saved almost 2/3rds of their budget last vs the previous years when they played in Anaheim and that was without fans. Just think how much more they will save with ticket sales. The MW, PAC 12, WAC, and West Coast Conferences have all saved money when it came to hosting the tournaments in Vegas. The MW has been in Vegas ever since they decided to move it back to Vegas from Denver where the attendance was half of what had been attending when it was played in Vegas. The league also saved money on the hotel and other incidental costs for the teams. The four conferences have had better attendance then where they had previously hosted them. The PAC 12 almost doubled the WBB attendance the first year that they held it in Vegas, while the WAC and WCC have had better attendance at the Orleans Arena every year that they have held it in Vegas. [B]Admittedly, most folks go there to drink, gamble, go to shows, go shopping and lay out at the pool (weather permitting). All of the fabulous and “glitzy“ hotels and casinos on the strip and around the city were built with the money left behind by visitors. Am I right MSGRET? [SIZE=5]100%;)[/SIZE][/B] [/QUOTE]
