Poll Results: Name the new Las Vegas XFL pro-football team
The poll is closed, the 1,600 votes have been tabulated, and the results are compelling enough that we'll see if any of the top names show up on the short list announced by the team.
High Rollers came in at number one with 122 votes (8%); it was pretty much the obvious choice, though it's also the name of the roller coaster atop the STRAT and the observation wheel at the LINQ, so that might cause some confusion (and perhaps legal challenges).
More intriguing is the second-place finisher with 115 votes (7%): Desert Sharks. That one also received a number of positive comments.
Rounding out the top five are the Wild Cards, Scorpions, and Blackjacks, all possibilities, though beyond that, the names are more indicative of current LVAer sentiments about Las Vegas than anything the team would consider, such as Snake Eyes (#6, 4%), Wiseguys (#8, 4%), Resort Fees (#13, 2%), and Lounge Lizards (#18, 2%).
For all the results in order, go direct to the poll. You can also get there from the link under Top Features.
And thanks to everyone who weighed in on the topic.
In the spirit of the current casino management attitudes, "Las Vegas Rip Offs" could be appropriate.
