Vegas Golden Knights owner Bill Foley officially entered the bidding to bring an NBA expansion franchise to Sin City.
Foley, whose sports ownership portfolio features Premier League (AFC Bournemouth) and Ligue 1 (FC Lorient) soccer franchises, would plan to use the same arena on the strip — T-Mobile Arena — that houses his NHL team if awarded an expansion team.
“Las Vegas has earned its place among great sports cities in America, and an NBA team belongs here,” Foley said in a statement. “We built the Golden Knights into a championship organization from the ground up, and we are prepared to do it again — with the same standard, the same commitment to this community, and the same insistence on winning. We have the market, a proven world-class arena and a best-in-class organization in place. Our intention is to be ready the day the NBA is ready.”
Foley said he expects to have a “limited number” of minority stakeholders if the league chooses his offer to establish an NBA franchise in Las Vegas. Bidding for an NBA expansion franchise is projected to be in the $7 billion to $10 billion range.
Las Vegas is preparing for the arrival of a Major League Baseball franchise — the A’s — in 2028. Currently, pro sports teams in the WNBA (Aces), NFL (Raiders), and NHL are in the market once considered too risky to be a permanent home for any team.
“This is the NBA’s decision to make,” Foley said. “Our job is to provide the league a Las Vegas option that is ready, credible, and built to last.”
The NBA’s board of governors opened exclusive bidding for two expansion franchise locations — Las Vegas and Seattle — in March.
Six NHL owners also have a primary stake in an NBA team.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
