The Las Vegas Outlaws: A Gamble in Arena Football

The Las Vegas Outlaws were a short-lived yet memorable team in the Arena Football League (AFL). Established in 2014 and folding just a year later in 2015, the Outlaws were based in the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas, Nevada. They played their home games at the Thomas & Mack Center and were part of the AFL's National Conference West Division.

Owned by Vince Neil, the lead singer for Mötley Crüe, the Outlaws added a rock 'n' roll flair to the AFL. Despite their brief existence, they managed to make headlines, especially with their first head coach, Aaron Garcia.

Though the team faced financial challenges and was eventually taken over by the league, the Las Vegas Outlaws left an indelible mark on the AFL landscape. Their team colors of black and Vegas gold remain a vivid memory for fans who got to experience this unique chapter in arena football.
