I cover Las Vegas sports for AP. Someone hacked @markanderson65 and Twitter won't give it back, so follow me here. Florida grad and UNLV dad.

A’s are promoting No. 4 prospect (MLB No. 91 overall prospect) Wei-En Lin to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Fresh off earning Texas League Pitcher of the Month honors, Lin will become the youngest pitcher at Triple-A so far at age 20.

The Athletics have recalled right-handed pitcher Elvis Alvarado from Triple-A Las Vegas and designated right-handed pitcher Joel Kuhnel for assignment.

There is truly nothing like a Southwest flight to Vegas. (Where I'm connecting today.)

Flight attendant on the PA: "Is there a David (something) on board?"

Loud female voice: "No, he is not! We just broke up."

@ThomasGoldkamp @delatorre My experiences were long before this, but I’ll never forget the rally from 17-0 down in the fourth quarter and Kerwin Bell on a bad knee scoring the winning 2-point conversion to beat Auburn. Happened in 1987 or 88, I believe.

Best one they have ever made

ESPN says Game 1 of the Golden Knights-Hurricanes SCF averaged 4.8 million viewers. Most-watched Stanley Cup Final Game 1 since 2019. Really good start in what has been a really good postseason viewership story for the NHL.

The last time Las Vegas had an earthquake, the Clippers acquired Kawhi Leonard. NBA reporters need to keep their eyes open.

[Mark Lazerus @MarkLazerus]

I've always found it incredible that there are people just sitting right there on the floor, mere inches from the players. No other sport is like that. Obviously those people are both very rich and very vetted, but still. Pretty easy to get down there from the 100-level seats.

[Mick Akers @mickakers]

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver on the NBA expansion process: It’s not a forgone conclusion that we will expand and the league has spoken with multiple interested parties in both Las Vegas and Seattle. Decision still expected at the end of the year.

Heading into Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, road teams that trailed by multiple goals had never come back and won... Until last night. 😱

How about Mitch Marner with a HUGE block in the dying second of regulation?! 💪 #StanleyCup

[Kendall Baker @kendallbaker]

One of the wildest stats in sports:

This is the 46TH CONSECUTIVE SEASON in which a former teammate of Jaromir Jagr has appeared in the Stanley Cup Final.

This year, it's Golden Knights defenseman Rasmus Andersson, who played with Jágr in Calgary in 2017-18.

[BucciOT.Com @Buccigross]

Gonna be an epic collision course Stanley Cup Final. Game 1 tonight on ABC. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

[A's Communications @AthleticsPR]

The Athletics selected right-handed pitcher Kade Morris and recalled right-handed pitcher Mason Barnett from Triple-A Las Vegas, the club announced today. Right-handed pitcher Michael Kelly and left-handed pitcher Jacob Lopez have been optioned to Las Vegas. To make room on the 40-man roster, right-handed pitcher Brooks Kriske was transferred to the 60-day injured list.

[Vegas Golden Knights @GoldenKnights]

It all comes down to this.
