In 2024, Las Vegas proved it has the capacity to host an event as large as a Super Bowl. This year, the NFL Annual Meeting rewarded the city’s strong performance that year by awarding it the hosting rights for Super Bowl LXIII, to be played in February 2029.
Just over two years ago, the City of Lights hosted a Super Bowl for the first time in its history. Beyond the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory over the San Francisco 49ers, the game was a resounding success for the city.
According to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), Super Bowl LVIII brought 330,000 visitors to the city, generating an economic impact of over $1 billion.
Now, following a review by the Fan Engagement & Major Events Committee and a vote by the entire board of owners, Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas will host the NFL’s Big Game for the second time.
Roger Goodell’s message for Las Vegas
In a statement announcing the decision, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league is “excited to bring the Super Bowl back to Las Vegas.”
Goodell added:
Super Bowl LVIII demonstrated the scale, energy, and hospitality the city brings to global events, and we look forward to working alongside the LVCVA, the Raiders, and the community to deliver an even greater experience this time around.
For his part, Mark Davis, owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, stated, “We’re excited that the Super Bowl will be returning to Las Vegas and Allegiant Stadium in 2029.”
It’s a testament to the Raiders, the LVCVA, civic leaders, the community, and the NFL working together as one. Super Bowl LVIII set a high bar, and for Super Bowl LXIII, we are committed to raising it even further.
The NFL already has events leading up to the Super Bowl
The Super Bowl wasn’t the only event the NFL granted to Las Vegas. To begin building anticipation, the city will host other important events such as:
- NFL Honors
- Super Bowl Experience
- Super Bowl Opening Night
- NFL Source
For those who can’t wait to reserve their tickets, the NFL’s official hospitality partner, ON Location, has already launched its Priority Access deposit program.
So if you have a few thousand dollars to spare right now, you can reserve your package of unique experiences today, so it will be waiting for you in 2029.
