Peter V'landys, the chair of the Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC), remains optimistic about the future of the NRL's Las Vegas round, asserting that it will maintain its attraction for fans even after all teams have participated for the first time. The recent season opener at Allegiant Stadium drew 45,719 attendees, with a significant portion of the crowd—approximately 20,000—from Australia and another 10,000 fans hailing from England, underscoring the international appeal of the event.

V'landys declared the recent installment as the NRL's most successful Las Vegas event yet, surpassing previous attendance figures. He addresses considerations for adjusting the match schedule to better accommodate English fans, highlighting the league's commitment to enhancing fan experience. There are suggestions that next season may see the addition of a double-header in London, which would further connect the NRL with its overseas audience.

The continuous growth and vibrant atmosphere at the Vegas round illustrate rugby league's potential for expansion within the U.S. market. V'landys believes the NRL has successfully tapped into the burgeoning American sports scene, and with strategic modifications, it can sustain interest and enhance participation in future events, cementing Las Vegas as a key location on the NRL calendar.
