The Canberra Raiders look set to be given the green light for a Sin City season-opener in an exciting first for the club.

As reported by The Canberra Times nearly a fortnight ago, the Raiders were eagerly awaiting news from the NRL on whether they would be one of four teams to play in the 2025 double-header in Las Vegas.
