@Yosemiter: the Nevada Devils Dogs will play in Mesquite, Nevada, which is part of Clark County, which is park of Las Vegas. SportsFan007 (talk) 19:05, 18 December 2017 (UTC)SportsFan007[reply]

@

Las Vegas–Paradise, NV MSA (the government based definition) and they are definitely not part of the Las Vegas Valley (the traditional definition of the Las Vegas area). The city is 80 miles away, it is a very large county (and Mesquite is in two counties for that matter, one of which is not included in the defined Statistical area). Not having it listed would be equivalent to why the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs and Phantoms have been removed from Template:NYC Metro sports even though Allentown is defined by the government as part of the New York metropolitan area#Combined Statistical Area.

@Yosemiter: Yeah ok, I couldn’t find anything, my bad. SportsFan007 (talk) 20:03, 18 December 2017 (UTC)SportsFan007[reply]

@SportsFan007: No worries, it was a fair question as all of Clark County is in the statistical definition. Mesquite just isn't in the media coverage definition of Las Vegas as none of local papers cover it currently. However, if the Desert Dogs do start generating Las Vegas coverage, I see no problem in adding it then. Yosemiter (talk) 20:09, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Yosemiter: I found an article: ^[1] SportsFan007 (talk) 03:52, 10 January 2018 (UTC)SportsFan007[reply]

Interesting, but the mayor's own statement is a bit telling: "We’re never going to be Las Vegas" in regards to bringing business to Mesquite. Several other statements he makes comparing his town to Vegas also seem to indicate they are not influenced by the rest of the Metro. (Another interesting thing I found:

Las Vegas metropolitan area redirects to Las Vegas Valley, so others seem to feel the Valley represents the Las Vegas area and not some government population monitoring statistic. There is not much consensus, but it has been discussed a couple times.) Yosemiter (talk) 04:17, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply
