The Las Vegas Americans were a soccer team based out of Las Vegas that played in the original Major Indoor Soccer League. Prior to Las Vegas, the team had operated as the Memphis Americans.[1] They only played in Las Vegas during the 1984-85 season and lost in the first round of the playoffs that year. The Las Vegas Americans finished their only season in the league with a 30-18 record earning them second place in the Western Division of the league. Their home arena was Thomas & Mack Center and there avg. attendance was 6,337.[2][3][4]

The Americans were expelled from the Major Indoor Soccer League on July 17, 1985 when the Board of Directors voted to terminate the franchise due to financial troubles.
