The Las Vegas Raiderettes are the cheerleading squad for the Las Vegas Raiders professional American football team. They were established in 1961 as the Oakland Raiderettes. When the Raiders moved to Los Angeles in 1982, the cheerleading squad became known as the Los Angeles Raiderettes. When the franchise moved back to Oakland in 1995, the Raiderettes changed their name back to the Oakland Raiderettes and when the franchise moved to Las Vegas in 2020 they became the Las Vegas Raiderettes. In Los Angeles, Oakland, and Las Vegas they have been billed as "Football's Fabulous Females".[2]
Upon the move of the team to Las Vegas, a new 20,000-square-foot studio was constructed for the Raiderettes in Henderson in between the Raiders headquarters and practice facility and the practice facility of the Las Vegas Aces of the WNBA.[3]
