Props to qWest and Mooty for those tremendous designs for last seasons Ultis, compelling stuff. But, enough dwelling on the past, time for the present! I’d try to repeat my old submission (Detroit), but I figured it’s time for a fresh start.
Where will the Mus/Mini be held?
SIN CITY, THE ENTERTAINMENT CAPITAL, PARADISE, FABULOUS, LAS VEGAS!
Why have you chosen this city?
The past few cities have been perfect. Tokyo, Wales (I’m not writing it out), Philadelphia, and New Jersey have, in one way or another, contributed to the success of their home countries - Tokyo is Japan’s economic center, Wales is a beautiful tourist destination, and Philly/NJ exist. However, if you want to talk about a city that makes money, look no further than Vegas, a city
that earns $2B dollars every single day. And, of course it does - with its casinos, restaurants, and activities, it’s hard to wonder why they name it The Entertainment Capital. Putting an Ultimus in Vegas would legitimately print money for the ISFL.
Worried about sports? There’s a reason Vegas has a bigass pool called Stadium Swim.
T-Mobile Arena, in the heart of the Strip, is home to the NHL’s Golden Knights - and, if Adam Silver and/or LeBron play their cards right, an expansion team in the NBA. The 2022 WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces take residence at the Mandalay Bay. Rumors have floated around the Commissioner of Baseball’s office that the Oakland A’s might potentially move to Vegas if their plans at Howard Terminal fall through - although, Vegas already have a Triple-A minor league team in the Aviators. The city has plans to host the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix in 2023, which would pair fairly with their redneck brothers at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where Nascar’s Cup Series occurs. Lastly, the Raiders. We know all about the Raiders. Immigrated out of Oakland Coliseum, move to Vegas in 2020, took residence at Allegiant, been here ever since. They’ve had varying levels of success in the city (yay Bisaccia, fuck you McDaniels), but the fact remains - the Raiders are Vegas’ team, no matter what happens. Vegas fans would eat this Ultimus up.
Where will the Mus/Mini be held?
After a long and hard deliberation, we decided between several options - yeah it’s Allegiant.
The Death Star! No, they don’t call it that because of the Raiders every Sunday. Opened in 2020, it hosts the Raiders and the UNLV Rebels, whilst also being the home of two bowl games - the Las Vegas Bowl and the
Vegas Kickoff - as well as the Pac-12 Cahmpionship game. It’s also planned to be the home of the 2024 Super Bowl. The youngest stadium in the NFL - tied with SoFi - it would be open for about
30 years, almost as old as the Ray Jay and M&T are today. The second most expensive stadium in the world, Allegiant can fit up to 71,000 fans in the stands, more than enough for the ISFL fans. Allegiant is the perfect fit for this baby.
What to do when not watching dot football?
What do you think I’ve been raving about the past 5 paragraphs? Here’s the patented 10 - y’know what, scratch that, 20-point list of things to do at Vegas.
- Gamble your life away at the countless casinos that dot the Strip.
- Shop your money away at the stores in the countless casinos that dot the Strip.
- Watch so much entertainment your eyes bleed at the entertainment districts within the countless casinos that dot the Strip.
- Dance the night away until your ears start ringing at the nightclubs within the countless casinos that dot the Strip.
- Enjoy thrill-seeking rides such as the Big Shot and X-Scream on top of The Strat, one of the countless casinos that dot the Strip.
- Go golfing at one of the dozens of golf courses that dot the city.
- Fremont Street! Home to a big-ass LED-light canopy, shopping malls, a zipline, and countless casinos!
- Visit the world-famous Bellagio Fountains, where the water shows are to die for.
- Catch one of the numerous concerts that play in Vegas - hell, you might even find one at the countless casinos that dot the Strip.
- Check out the sporting events that happen at T-Mobile or MGM or literally any sports arena in Vegas, there’s bound to be at least one.
- Take a picture with that sign! Yknow the sign! Which one am I talking about! No idea, because there’s literally a photo op at any angle in Vegas!
- Check out the museums in the city! The Mob Museum, the Neon Museum, the Pinball Museum, Madame Tussaud’s, any of em!
- Art! Mainly art you can literally get absorbed in! Arcadia Earth, Perception, Omega Mart, you have no idea what’s in store for you!
- Swim for a bit to cool down your undoubtedly broke and/or tired body! Wave pools, infinity pools, that bigass sports pool I mentioned earlier, the possibilities are endless!
- It doesn’t even have to be just the Strip! Visit the national conservation areas, like the Red Rock Canyon or beauties in nature, like the Hoover Dam!
- Dine at one of the wonderful restaurants outside of or within one of the countless casinos that dot the Strip (my personal recommendation is the Hell’s Kitchen restaurant).
- Go for a ride on the High Roller, a massive Ferris wheel with breathtaking views of the entire Strip.
- Attend one of Cirque de Soleil’s world-renowned performances. From Michael Jackson to original performances, they’ve got it all.
- Want to theme your wedding around a football game? I’d normally say no, but screw it - get married here in the marriage capital of the world! Hell, you can even get Elvis! Who would say no to Elvis?
- Visit a residency for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see your favorite stars, like Adele, Donny Osmond, Jeff Dunham or Maroon V, live!
What’ll the logo look like?
Vegas. When you think of it, one word comes to mind - gamble. The logo I made is meant to look akin to a slot machine, a run on taking a chance, playing a hand, and hoping for the best.
I hope you enjoyed this submission! Good luck, have fun, play responsibly.
