The National Lacrosse League’s (15th) expansion team is now located in Las Vegas. The team is known as the “Las Vegas Desert Dogs.”
The Desert Dogs will begin their first season in December 2022, and the team will also play home games at Michelob ULTRA Arena inside Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.
The team’s ownership group includes Wayne Gretzky, Dustin Johnson, Steve Nash, and Joe Tsai – and it oversaw a comprehensive naming process dating back to the franchise’s official introduction in June 2021. The team considered over 2,000 fan submissions and conducted surveys throughout Las Vegas to identify Desert Dogs as the name and brand that would best represent the local community.
“We could not be more excited to officially introduce the Desert Dogs to Las Vegas,” said Mark Fine, the Las Vegas Desert Dogs CEO. The ‘Desert Dog’ represents all that Las Vegas Lacrosse embodies – scrappy and cunning, friendly but fierce, and powerful alone but unstoppable as a pack.
Shawn Williams, one of the most accomplished players in NLL history, has been selected to lead the Las Vegas Desert Dogs as the franchise’s first General Manager and Head Coach.
