NFL running it back in Vegas with Super Bowl LXIII in '29
The league's owners voted unanimously to return to Allegiant Stadium after Super Bowl 58 was so successful.
Janis Burke of the LVCVA, Clark County Commission chairman Michael Naft and Raiders Sr. vice president Justin Carley helped with Monday's announcement of the return of the Super Bowl to Las Vegas in 2029. LAS VEGAS — Usually, the sequel isn’t as good as the original.
And if what we witnessed outside Allegiant Stadium Monday is a harbinger of things to come in 2029, man, are we in trouble. A windy day that saw the perfunctory pair of Vegas showgirls grasping for their feathers as Mother Nature did her best to force the gals to literally hold on to their hats. A couple of false starts from Phoenix, where the NFL owners were meeting and ultimately voted unanimously to give Las Vegas a second Super Bowl after a successful showing in 2024 with Super Bowl 58.
And of course, a little irony as the MGM’s Bet MGM ad was shown on the outside skin of Allegiant, as if to tell the NFL, “See, you didn’t win after all” after years of being barred by the league from advertising during its showcase event. Meanwhile, workers were still putting the finishing touches on the “LXIII” sign adjacent to the stage. But don’t let any of this discourage you.
Getting the Super Bowl back here was a no-brainer, especially after Sam Joffray and his Las Vegas Host Committee staff and helpers did such a bang-up job during Super Bowl 58. I was hoping Sam would come back for the sequel. Nope.
