Before the 2017 NHL season and the debut of the Golden Knights, Las Vegas had no professional sports franchises — in fact, the idea of allowing teams to play in a city where sports betting was legal seemed dicey at best.
This year, the Knights and the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces both won championships. The Raiders are playing their fourth NFL season in Vegas after moving from Oakland, and in February, their home field, Allegiant Stadium, will host the Super Bowl. And this fall, the Strip will become a Formula 1 track for the biggest North American Grand Prix race to date.
Once a sports desert, Vegas has rebranded itself as a global sports capital, and the person who may be most responsible is Steve Hill, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.

As The Price Is Right fans continue to mourn the loss of longtime host Bob Barker, the TV icon’s cause of death has been revealed. Dying at 99 at the end of August, Barker’s cause of death has been reported by TMZ, which shared that the game show personality suffered from Alzheimer’s disease, which he ultimately succumbed to. Per Barker’s death certificate, he died years after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, but considering he never addressed it publicly, it’s uncertain when that occurred. (Credit: Mark Davis/Getty Images) Along with suffering falls in recent years, Barker had minor bouts with skin cancer and dealt with back issues that landed him in the hospital in 2018. As previously reported, Barker died peacefully at his Los Angeles home on August 26. A longtime vegetarian, Barker was an animal advocate who teamed with PETA in 2013 to help promote the meat-less diet.

From his adorable quirk when he laughs to his cute new romance with Jenny Slate to his insanely handsome face, he's our ideal everything. But while we always thought of him as perfect boyfriend material, we now know that he's also the perfect employee. The Captain America: Civil War actor took to Twitter on Thursday to share a hilarious photo of an old cover letter he wrote while trying to get a theater internship during the Summer of 1998. In addition to saying that he would allow "someone to take advantage of a hardworking individual like me," he also states that he would make himself available for an interview anytime, anywhere.
