As Vegas is known for its glitz, glamour and nonstop entertainment. But not many events - even in Sin City - could compare to rugby league’s Fremont Street takeover.

Around 16,000 supporters descended on the five-block district to cheer on their teams - and from the outset it was clear who had brought the loudest and most passionate following.

“To take over Las Vegas takes some doing, but we've done it.” Those were the words - more shouted than said - by Sky Sports presenter Brian Carney, his voice battling to rise above the thunderous backing of Leeds Rhinos and Hull KR on Fremont Street.

“It’s bigger and better than last year. I'll tell you who's dominating — Hull KR and Leeds Rhinos. They're the only ones you can hear.”
