Las Vegas is vying to host Super Bowl LXIII in February 2029 at Allegiant Stadium, with NFL owners currently reviewing a formal bid from the city, although no vote is expected yet.
Approval could come by December, and Vinny Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority submitted the bid, highlighting the city’s push to bring the Super Bowl back to Nevada.
While owners are not set to vote immediately, discussions suggest Las Vegas is a strong contender, given its successful history hosting major events as Allegiant Stadium previously staged Super Bowl LVIII in February 2024.
Tom Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl champion and minority Raiders owner, has expressed interest in attending major games and could appear in a ceremonial or promotional role if Las Vegas hosts the 2029 Super Bowl.
The city’s bid highlights Allegiant Stadium‘s modern facilities, extensive hotel and entertainment options, and ability to host a global audience and NFL owners are expected to review logistics, financial incentives, and the city’s readiness.
The next three Super Bowls have already been assigned: with Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara will host in 2026; SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles in 2027; and Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta in 2028.
Super Bowl LXIII would conclude the 2028 season in February 2029 and hosting another Super Bowl would reinforce Las Vegas’ status as a premier sports destination, building on the success of LVIII, which included an elaborate halftime show by Usher.
Approval would mark the city’s second championship game in six years, demonstrating confidence in Allegiant Stadium as a venue capable of delivering a world-class event for fans, teams, and media alike.
What happened the last time Las vegas hosted the Super Bowl?
Super Bowl LVIII, held at Allegiant Stadium in February 2024, was a thrilling contest that went into overtime as the Kansas City Chiefs narrowly defeated the San Francisco 49ers 25-22.
The game featured multiple lead changes, with both teams trading scoring drives in the final quarter, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
Patrick Mahomes orchestrated a dramatic comeback, throwing for over 300 yards and three touchdowns, including the decisive overtime drive that set up the game-winning score to Mercole Hardman.
The Eagles responded with precision passes from their quarterback, who finished with 290 yards and two touchdowns, but missed opportunities in the red zone proved costly as special teams played a key role, with crucial field goals keeping the score tight.
Defensive plays, including a key sack and a critical fourth-quarter interception, added to the intensity, forcing both teams into high-pressure situations down the stretch in a back-and-forth spectacle.
Mahomes‘ performance, combined with clutch catches from his wide receivers, ultimately tipped the balance in Kansas City’s favor whilst Usher led the half-time show along with the likes of Alicia Keys, will.i.am and Ludacris.
