A replica of the Statue of Liberty is dressed wearing a Vegas Golden Knights' jersey at the New York-New York Hotel & Casino. Ken Johnson and Steph MacKenzie readied for the next segment of their show, broadcast on 97.1 “The Point,” as 8:30 a.m. neared in Las Vegas this past Friday. The Golden Knights lifted Vegas after a tragic shooting in October and became a constant for people used to rotating acts. But the moment was bigger than a hockey game, and the Golden Knights were suddenly bigger than a hockey team. The Golden Knights have been joined by the Las Vegas Aces, a WNBA team moved from San Antonio, and the NFL’s Oakland Raiders will become the Las Vegas Raiders in 2020.
