The Super Bowl will be held in Las Vegas after all, at an exciting time for the city, which has been aggressively pushing to expand its sports event roster and is primed to add a new NBA franchise imminently.
Allegiant Stadium to host Super Bowl a second time
The Big Game is set to take place in Allegiant Stadium once again in 2029, with the NFL owners approving the move on Monday in Phoenix. Previously, the Super Bowl took place in Las Vegas back in 2024, when the San Francisco eked out a hard-fought win against the Kansas City Chiefs with 25-22. The news was welcomed by the league, with Commissioner Roger Goodell celebrating the league’s return: 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 sports and entertainment destinations. 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. The news was welcomed by Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis, who was similarly pleased to find out that the city will once again be the center of America’s biggest single-day sports event.
A historic decision that is continuing to pay off more than a decade after
Davis said the return was a testament to the Raiders, the LVCVA, civic leaders, and the community. The NFL is also doubling down on Las Vegas in the wake of the first event, which was largely celebrated as a success. According to LVCVA CEO/President Steve Hill, much of the present-day success can be traced back to Davis’ decision to build the Allegiant Stadium and bring the Raiders to Sin City. The move is paying dividends to the local economy and sports scene a decade after it was made, Hill remarked. This is a city that is built to host. It’s who we are. It’s not just what we do, it is how we measure ourselves, Hill told media outlets.
