‘We’re here for the long haul’: PVL flags NRL Vegas presence beyond 2028
After over 16,000 fans turned out for the Fremont Street Experience on Friday, the ARLC chairman confirmed Las Vegas would remain a league destination for as long as revenues held up.
V’landys confirmed Vegas would remain a league destination beyond 2028 if the numbers stacked up.
“Vegas will always be the anchor event, we’re here for the long haul – as long as we get the revenues, we’ll be here,” he said.
“I thought it was big the first year, we toppled it the second year, now it’s bigger again. I’ve never seen this many people. The English have added so much to the atmosphere, the Aussies have to pick their game up – we need to do better.”
Newcastle player Greg Marzhew performed a backflip when asked to dance on stage, Canterbury skipper Stephen Crichton wore meta glasses, to give fans a point-of-view camera angle of him marching through the masses, and Dragons flyer Christian Tuipulotu grabbed the microphone before telling fans to “show me the money”. It was a nod to his try celebration banned by coach Shane Flanagan last year.
