The team was owned by future Arena Football League commissioner C. David Baker.

The Las Vegas Sting was a team which competed in the Arena Football League during the 1994 and 1995 seasons.

Their home games in 1994 were played in the MGM Grand Garden Arena, and they were moved to the Thomas & Mack Center on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for the 1995 season.

The team was not an overwhelmingly successful draw in the high-overhead Southern California market and folded after the conclusion of the 1997 season.

[1] The arena (now known as the Honda Center) would once again be the home of an AFL franchise with the launching of the Los Angeles Kiss in 2014.
