Trent Robinson has made clear he wants the Sydney Roosters to return to Las Vegas next year as the race to play in the 2025 double-header begins.
The NRL's travelling roadshow will start flying out of the USA on Monday, with small pockets forced to wait until Tuesday to being their return home.
But they leave feeling buoyant with the league's historic push into America, after 40,706 fans turned out for the Allegiant Stadium double-header.
Players compared the atmosphere to that of finals football, while locals spoken to by AAP were struck by the "ferociousness" and pace of the sport.
The NRL will wait on television figures before declaring how successful the venture was, and must find a way to connect new fans with games on a weekly basis.
But next year is already on the agenda.
The NRL's 17 club bosses convened in Vegas on Friday for a CEOs meeting, and were all in the chairman's lounge behind the posts for Saturday night's games.
Broadly speaking, there is a desire from most clubs to feature in the event, and it is expected all will over the course of the five-year deal to play in Sin City.
But the clubs involved in Saturday's matches are also keen to return.
Roosters chairman Nick Politis and Manly owner Scott Penn have each signalled their intention, after giving up home games for the Vegas venture in 2024.
And while it remains to be seen what impact the travel has on players this season, Robinson made clear he was more than keen to return in 2025.
"I think it's absolutely fair that we get the chance to come back again next year," Robinson quipped.
"We've got to export our game and Nick's never been shy and saying, we feel like we represent the game of rugby league well.
"If that's a choice, then then we would like to do that, because we represent Sydney and it can represent the world stage.
"It's a really strong brand in the game. And if that goes in that way where that's open, then we'd love to do it.
"If it doesn't, and it rotates, then we definitely understand that as well."
The NRL are also desperate to use this season's matches as a launching point, with the potential to invite English teams and play women's fixtures in the future.
Speculation about taking Magic Round to Vegas has been floated in recent weeks, but that still appears some way off.
"This is like a step in the right direction and an important milestone, but we want to build off it," NRL CEO Andrew Abdo told AAP.
"We want to keep growing this and make this even bigger.
"This is different to other sports bringing exhibition games. I think the Americans respect that.
"We've had a lot of good feedback on that."
