With the Super Bowl headed to Las Vegas next month, what can players—both those in the game, and those just visiting—do and not do? Where can they go in the gambling capital, and what’s off limits? For years those wouldn’t have even been questions, because the NFL had a taboo, hard line approach against Vegas and sports gambling. Stay away.

That, of course, began to change in 2018, when the Supreme Court lifted a ban on sports gambling in most of the U.S. In the past, NFL players couldn’t set foot in casinos, let alone sportsbooks, or gamble on sports.
