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 LXIII 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 LVIII in 2024 as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime.

“We’re excited to bring the Super Bowl back to Las Vegas and provide our fans another incredible experience in one of America’s greatest sport and entertainment destinations,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. “Super Bowl LVIII demonstrated the scale, energy and hospitality the city brings to global events, and we look forward to working alongside the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, the Raiders and the community to deliver an even greater experience this time around.”

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.

“It’s a testament to the Raiders, the LVCVA, civic leaders, the community, and the NFL working together as one,” Raiders owner Mark Davis said in a statement. “Super Bowl LVIII set a high bar, and for Super Bowl LXIII we are committed to raising it even further.”

There’s plenty of time to drum up anticipation. The Super Bowl will be played at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., in 2027, then head to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta in 2028.

“Las Vegas was built for moments like this, and we look forward to delivering another exceptional experience for fans in 2029,” Steve Hill, president and CEO of the LVCVA, said in a statement.
