from George Stutz of the Casino City Times,
Three years ago, The Palms Casino Resort owner George Maloof didn’t know a slap shot from a faceoff.
The National Hockey League then signed a deal with Las Vegas to make the off-Strip hotel-casino the center of the sport’s universe for a few days in June.
With the three-year agreement for the Palms to host the NHL Awards ceremony coming to an end, Maloof is hopeful the arrangement can be extended.
“It’s been a great event for the Palms and a great event for the city,” Maloof said of the program, which brings many of hockey’s best players to Las Vegas for the awards program that is televised live throughout the United States and Canada….
Maloof counted on the awards program exposing the Palms to different markets. What he didn’t expect was the number of hockey fans making the trip to Las Vegas for the show. Over the past two years, he’s seen hockey fans inside the Palms wear the jerseys representing almost every NHL team.
