Las Vegas’ next big thing wants no part of the city’s staple attraction.

Raiders No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza said during a recent interview with The Athletic that while he’s been to the Strip a couple times since joining the Silver and Black this offseason, he has zero desire of becoming a regular there.

“It’s like a boogeyman,” the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback said. “A lot of people talk about the strip like, ‘You don’t want to go there.’

“It’s like when you’re a kid; you’re trick-or-treating, and there’s the haunted house. You’re not trying to go over there.”

Mendoza’s comments should hardly be surprising.

Much like Kirk Cousins — the signal caller currently sitting ahead of him on the Raiders’ depth chart — Mendoza has developed quite the reputation for being a goody two-shoes.

And even though he’s now a professional making NFL money in Sin City, the 22-year-old former Indiana star made it clear he’s not changing his stripes anytime soon.

“Las Vegas is one of the entertainment capitals of the world,” he said. “But I have a job to do, and it’s football. I don’t have anybody that really relies on me, if that makes sense, so I can just be psycho about football.

“And then every once in a while, on an off day or night, I can go out to a movie and watch ‘Spiderman’ or ‘The Odyssey’ or something.

“In Vegas, there is a lot to do, and sometimes it can be seen as activities that wouldn’t be supporting a healthy football lifestyle. But there are different things that you can go see and do that aren’t degenerative activities, per se. There are some great restaurants. But I’m probably not going to be playing blackjack till late at night.”

Raiders fans will get their first look at the squeaky-clean Mendoza in game action later Thursday, when he’s expected to play a few series in Las Vegas’ home tilt with the Cardinals at 5 p.m. PT.
