Las Vegas tabs Golden Knights as new favorite to win Stanley Cup

The Golden Knights took over the NHL’s points lead Saturday. On Monday, the Knights were at the top of another board. The expansion team from Las Vegas became the new betting favorite at the Westgate Superbook to win this year’s Stanley Cup at 4-1 odds. The Knights opened at 200-1 and were as high as 500-1 before the 2017-18 season, according to Westgate sports book director Jay Kornegay. “The Knights started off as the longest shot on the board to win the Stanley Cup,” Kornegay said. “No one was betting them. There was no interest, which totally makes sense for an expansion team. Now it’s crazy to say they’re the favorite to hoist the Cup.”

Money for Las Vegas shooting victims

Three major sources of funds are available in Nevada for victims and related initiatives of the Oct. 1 shooting. 1. Nevada Victims of Crime program The fund is financed primarily by fines and penalties paid by convicted offenders, not by tax dollars. The money is used to pay for a variety of services, including medical bills, funerals and counseling for anybody who was a victim of a crime that took place in Nevada. 2. Las Vegas Victims’ Fund This 501(c)(3) nonprofit was set up on behalf of Clark County and has collected money from around the world in response to the shootings at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival. The entirety of the money in the Las Vegas Victims’ Fund will go to people in three categories: – The families of those who were killed in the shooting and people who sustained permanent brain damage and/or permanent paralysis resulting in continuous home medical assistance. -People who were physically injured as a result of the shooting and first admitted to a hospital between Oct. 1 and Oct. 10 for at least one night through Dec. 15. – People who were physically injured as a result of the shooting and who were treated on an emergency or outpatient basis on or before Oct. 10. 3. Vegas Strong Fund The Vegas Strong Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit created by the Nevada resort industry in response to the shooting. Half of whatever the Vegas Strong Fund collects was slated to land in the Las Vegas Victims’ Fund by Jan. 31. Jan Jones Blackhurst, chairperson of the Vegas Strong Fund, said the other half will “support long-term needs of the community.”
