A delighted Peter V'landys says more is to come for American audiences after the NRL made a sensational start to their venture on US soil.

Over 40,000 fans attended the Las Vegas extravaganza at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday as the Roosters, Broncos, Manly and Souths showcased the best that rugby league has to offer.
