The Las Vegas Desert Dogs launched on June 21, 2021, as the 15th team in the National Lacrosse League and began play in December 2022. The team is co-owned by Wayne Gretzky, Dustin Johnson, Steve Nash, and Joe Tsai. The team plays at Lee’s Family Forum in Henderson, Nevada
 
The Desert Dogs’ Internship Program allows individuals to become an integral part of the organization's day-to-day operations. Throughout the season, interns will be given the opportunity to learn in numerous areas. These areas include but are not limited to ticket sales, sponsorship sales and activations, customer service, marketing, community relations, promotions, lacrosse operations, team equipment, and general business operations. 
 
Though each internship is given primary responsibilities, individuals will develop skills in several areas for the season. Interns must be available for all Desert Dogs home games (and playoffs if necessary) during the 2025-26 season.
