LAS VEGAS — It was supposed to be a celebration of all the things this city is about, a night many thought would never come.
But the carnage is too fresh, the horror still too real.
The city’s first major professional sports team opens at home Tuesday night on the Las Vegas Strip, a short walk from where a gunman carried out an unthinkable attack that left 58 people dead. Fans are expected to pack the T-Mobile Arena to watch the Vegas Golden Knights against the Arizona Coyotes in a debut more than three years in the making.
