Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas (February 2024) was the most-wagered sports event in American history and confirmed the city's transformation into a legitimate sports capital. Here's what that means for visitors.

The Raiders at Allegiant Stadium

The Las Vegas Raiders moved to Allegiant Stadium in 2020. The dome stadium — located just west of Mandalay Bay — is a walkable 15 minutes from the south Strip, making game day accessible without a car. Tickets range from $80 (upper level) to $500+ (lower level) for regular season games.

Sportsbook Culture

Las Vegas's sportsbook infrastructure — already the world's best — has been enhanced by the presence of home teams. Legal in-game betting is now completely normalized at every major casino, and the sportsbooks are social spaces on game days that rival any sports bar in America.
