Las Vegas looking to get in the MLS soccer craze?

If there's really one anyway.

With Spanish La Liga and English Premiership stars like David Beckham joining the MLS soccer league in the United States, the thought of having one MLS team in Las Vegas are just driving some Vegas locals crazy.

A thread in one major soccer website entitled, ''Las Vegas MLS plan ($35 Million on the Table)'' became one of the most popular threads in the said soccer website. It drew 386 posts and attracted around 16,000 views, all probably coming from people living in Las Vegas.

''The city is twice the size of Salt Lake City, and it's expected to pass Denver by 2010,'' writes monster (obviously NOT his real name...) from Hanover, Pa. ''That's not counting tourists. It's not a slam dunk, but it's not dire, either.''

Apparently, Las Vegas locals have been longing for one MLS soccer team in their hometown that they already have nicknames for the new club. Some of the nicknames being tossed around include FC Vegas, Red Devils, Las Vegas Aces (ewww...) and my personal favorite, Sin City FC.

Others even have designs for the Las Vegas soccer team's uniform. Of course, there were also some silly stuff posted on the thread.

''I just hope they serve cheap, giant margaritas at the Silver Spurs Dome,'' scott47a writes from somewhere on the West Coast. Nebraska Addick envisions a section of Elvis impersonators who yell ''Viva!'' at every good play by the home team. (That's rather pathetic...)

Apparently, Las Vegas people want MLS Commissioner Don Garber to publicly acknowledge the Las Vegas Sports Entertainment Group, monster on the other hand thought otherwise.

''It's not (Garber's) call,'' monster writes. ''It's the owners' call. But that fact escapes many people on (the thread) with great regularity.''
