Over the past few years, esports has been inching closer and closer to mainstream appeal. Celebrities have been investing in teams, major organizations like the NBA and NASCAR have been launching esports leagues, and major networks like ESPN have been brokering deals with teams and leagues to televise tournaments.

Resorts in Las Vegas have recently begun to dive into esports too with the Downtown Grand Hotel & Casino hosting tournaments and esports and the Millennial Esports hall and arena in downtown Las Vegas.
