Life goes on for the Edmonton Eskimos following the firing of general manager Ed Hervey one week ago.

And while the search for his replacement commences, it’s business as usual for football operations, which announced Thursday this year’s mini-camp will be held in Las Vegas April 30-May 2.

In December, Hervey said he was relocating mini-camp from the team’s usual headquarters in Florida in order to be closer to home, both for players and staff from Edmonton as well as his own off-season residence in Sin City.

“Obviously, logistically it’s just better for us,” Hervey said earlier this off-season. “When you start talking about Florida, you’re talking about travelling all day and hauling all of our equipment down there.

“We believe that travelling down to Las Vegas will help us as far as direct flights, regionally, for guys getting in and out. There’s not a 90-minute drive from Orlando to our facility like it is in Florida, it’s 10 minutes.”
