As the National Football League awards Super Bowl LXIII to Las Vegas for its 2029 championship game, count on Southern Nevada being even better prepared to host the event than it was in 2024.
The big reason: Las Vegas was a late pinch-hitter for New Orleans in 2024 for that game, won by the Kansas City Chiefs in a thrilling 25-22 overtime win over the San Francisco 49ers. This time, the city will have just under three years to prepare for the event instead of one.
New Orleans bowed out in 2024 because the game date was too close to Mardi Gras, the annual Crescent City celebration kicking off the season of Lent.
