How we verify

Every factual claim on VegasFans.com links to a numbered source, and every page shows when we last checked it. Each item gets one of four labels: Confirmed, Hearing, Changed or Cancelled. If we can't source something, we leave it out.

Last checked Oct. 8, 2026

What do the four labels mean?

Confirmed
An official source (team, league, venue, promoter) has published it, or two independent reliable outlets agree on it. Dates and times are copied from the official schedule.
Hearing
Reported by a credible outlet but not yet official. Example: NBA expansion bid details. We always name who is reporting it.
Changed
Something we previously listed has moved: a new time, venue or cost. We keep the old value in the changes log.
Cancelled
Officially called off. We keep the item visible, struck through, for a week.

What are the rules?

  1. No source, no publish. Each fact links to a numbered footnote. The build fails if a page, game or timeline entry is missing its sources or dates.
  2. Quotes are copied word for word from the source we link to.
  3. Times are Pacific Time and come from the official schedule. Games marked "if necessary" or "TBA" say so.
  4. History entries are checked against cached source text. Before publishing, an automated check confirms that a key phrase from each timeline entry appears in its source.
  5. "Where fans watch" listings are verified in person or by the venue. Until then the page says verification in progress.
  6. Corrections are public. See the changes log.

Frequently asked questions

What sources do you use?

In order of preference: the teams, leagues and venues themselves (official schedules, league data, press releases); established news outlets such as the Las Vegas Review-Journal; and Wikipedia for settled history, which we check against the article's own citations where it matters.

What does 'Last checked' mean?

It's the date someone re-checked that page's facts against its sources. Anything older than 60 days goes into our monthly re-verification queue.
