PHOENIX — The Super Bowl’s return to Las Vegas is set.
NFL owners approved Las Vegas on Monday as the host city for Super Bowl 63 in 2029 at Allegiant Stadium.
It will mark the second time Southern Nevada has boasted hosting rights for America’s biggest annual sporting event. Las Vegas hosted Super Bowl 58 in 2024 as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime.
Overstating the success of Las Vegas’ 2024 Super Bowl would be difficult.
According to a Super Bowl statistical recap posted on the official website of the City of Las Vegas, an estimated 330,000 visitors were expected in Southern Nevada for various events during Super Bowl Weekend. That figure included the 62,000 fans who attended the game.
“The influx of visitors for the game was evident in the number of travelers at Harry Reid International Airport the Monday after the game, when the Transportation Security Administration screened an all-time single-day record of nearly 104,000 passengers,” the report said.
The event also broke records in television viewership, with a reported 123.4 million domestic and international viewers tuning into the game.
If that wasn’t enough of a visibility boost, the report said 14,000 news stories surrounding the 2024 Super Bowl generated 5 billion impressions for Las Vegas.
There’s plenty of time to drum up anticipation. The Super Bowl will be played at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, in 2027, then head to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta in 2028.
