The Vegas Golden Knights seem to be rolling towards something good. After ditching Bruce Cassidy last Sunday, the Golden Knights have won their last three games. Looking at the slate, you might be unimpressed. I mean, games against the Vancouver Canucks and the Calgary Flames? C'mon now!

However, the team has responded kindly to the new bench boss, scoring 15 goals in the past three games. Suddenly, the fanbase is feeling more confident about themselves. Now, they believe in the team that stalled on them earlier. What's next, you ask? Why, it's none other than the Stanley Cup playoffs.

In case you're unfamiliar with this Las Vegas tradition, it's part of the Golden Knights lore. It's where fans anxiously anticipate the team's fate for the upcoming Spring months, seeing how far their team will go. Of course, this isn't the only event that's going down in Las Vegas.

You have WrestleMania 42 at Allegiant Stadium, which is always a massive draw. You also have the Athletics coming to Las Vegas soon, bringing a storied history with them. Okay, they stink right now (thanks, John Fisher). However, it's part of a growing sports scene that encapsulates Sin City's growth as an area.

Besides, you have the Aces coming up soon, along with the Aviators playing right now. It's becoming a busy time in Las Vegas, where all the big events are coming to town and the sports are cooking.

So, buckle up, Golden Knights fans. It's going to be a fun ride once again. For once, there's actual hope on the horizon. Sure, the team doesn't have the best odds to win it all. But let's have fun with this since we're playing with house money, shall we?
