1991 outdoor NHL game in Las Vegas
The 1991 outdoor National Hockey League (NHL) game in Las Vegas was an exhibition pre-season game between the New York Rangers and the Los Angeles Kings that took place on September 27, 1991, on an outside rink built over the parking lot of the Caesars Palace hotel and casino. This was the first official outdoor NHL game, and was part of the pre-season schedule for the 1991–92 NHL season for both teams.
==Background==
The idea of having an exhibition ice hockey game outdoors in Las Vegas belongs to Rich Rose, president of Caesars World Sports and a Rangers fan, who first proposed it in 1988. His idea was met with criticism and incredulity, but Steve Flatow, the NHL's marketing director at the time, suggested Rose talk to the Los Angeles Kings. Rose was able to convince the team's executive vice-president, Roy Mlakar, and the team's owner, Bruce McNall. After that, when the New York Rangers were asked to join the game and agreed, the event was scheduled for September 27, 1991. The temporary seats and rink were erected for a total cost of $135,000, and were ready two days prior to the start of the game. The ice was laid down for Bob May of Ice Systems of America, under the directions of Michael Rzechula and Robert Krolak from ITI (now Ice Rink Supply) through the use of the IRS patented family of Ice Building Products: Slush Ice, Instant Ice, Base Ice, Ice Building Additive and Slick Ice. According to May, the outside ice rink in Las Vegas was "a big challenge", using three times the refrigeration equipment as one would for a regular rink. The lines on the rink were not painted, as is usually done, but were fabric strips laid into the ice. The boards featured rotating and lit advertising panels to display different sponsors. This was a concept and technology that was still in its infancy but later implemented in many NHL arenas. Among the games in-board advertisers: Toyota, Target, ITT Sheraton, Budweiser, Thrifty car rental, and Upper Deck trading cards.
