The Las Vegas Lights CEO says the city’s swagger and Hispanic population can make his club into a success story in the Nevada desert
There’s not much of a soccer legacy in Las Vegas. The extent of it is the Quicksilvers, the itinerant team that only lasted for one NASL season in 1977. They had been the Baltimore Comets before transferring cross-country and becoming the magnificently-named San Diego Jaws. Then came the move to Nevada before they eventually returned to San Diego as the Sockers. It was all very Spinal Tap.
That solitary campaign in the desert was astoundingly underwhelming, notable only for the presence of an aged Eusebio in the Quicksilvers’ attack, his chronic knee problems ensuring he was little more than another faded Vegas attraction.
