The Las Vegas Cowboys were a professional American football team based in Las Vegas, Nevada. Their roots can be traced to the independent Quad Cities Raiders, who joined the new Professional Football League of America as the Rock Island Raiders in 1965. The Raiders remained in the PFLA until its merger with the Continental Football League in 1968. Less than a month into the 1968 season the Raiders were purchased Indianapolis businessman Thomas Redmond. Redmond swiftly transferred the franchise to Las Vegas and renamed them as the Cowboys.

The Cowboys finished the 1968 season with just one win, but improved drastically the next season. In 1969, the final season of the CFL, Las Vegas won their division and advanced to the second round of the playoffs. After the 1969 season the franchise was again purchased, and plans for a move to Memphis, Tennessee were announced. With the dissolution of the CFL in 1970, the move never completed and the Cowboys became inactive.
