History

[edit]

On October 11, 2023, Las Vegas was announced as the seventh and final city to get a Pro Volleyball Federation franchise for the league's inaugural season, owned by local political leader Andy Abboud and former Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning. On that same day, former LSU Tigers women's beach volleyball coach Fran Flory was named as the team's inaugural head coach.[1][2] The Thrill name, logo and colors were announced on November 29.[3]
