Why Not Las Vegas For the Maloof NBA Team?

It hardly gets mentioned, but George and Gavin Maloof have been busy making preparations to move their NBA team from Sacramento. Why, when they are so strong in Las Vegas, are they not bringing the team here? Its going to Anaheim, the market that already has the Lakers and the Clippers. Where is Mayor Oscar Goodman during this? This was the chance for the erstwhile mayor to realize his dream of attracting a pro team. Were we thwarted by the fact that the Thomas and Mack isn't a state of the art facility? Or is it that the NBA just doesn't want a team where there is sports book gambling? Too bad. Las Vegas is the largest city in the USA that doesn't have a major league team.
