Perhaps FAUX's most successful franchise, Las Vegas took the league by storm in 1994, when, as the Vegas Vikings, they earned a wildcard berth on the heels of an impressive 10-win inaugral campaign. But the road to glory had a few bumps. Following their eye-opening inaugral success, the then-Vikings suffered a dismal 5-9 sophomore season in 1995, followed by a failed attempt to capture the FAUX Olympic market as the Sydney Wombats in '96 (4-10). Returning to their roots as in 1997, the franchise was determined to change their luck. In their fifth season, the re-focused franchise showed it had "the eye of the tiger" and captured its first of four league championships. Vegas has since built upon that success by earning three more championship titles, along the way becoming only the second team in FAUX history to earn three FAUX titles and to win back-to-back championships (Baltimore 1996-97). In short time, the Vikings have established themselves as a league powerhouse, posting four championship pennants in that span. Las Vegas has seven playoff appearances and one of the top winning percentages in FAUX history (.571). In the four season period between 1998 and 2001, during which Las Vegas won three of its titles, the Hitmen went 39-17 (.696).Despite winning only 4 games in 2006, it was enough for the Hitmen to surpass the 100-win mark in only their thirteenth season.
