The NFL has announced that Super Bowl LXIII will return to Las Vegas in 2029, marking the second time the city has hosted the league's championship game. The decision is expected to provide a significant economic lift for the tourist-driven city, which saw a decline in visitors and revenue following the 2024 Super Bowl.

Why it matters

Las Vegas has been working to diversify its economy and attract more major events beyond just gambling and entertainment. Hosting the Super Bowl again will showcase the city's hospitality and infrastructure capabilities on a global stage, potentially leading to more high-profile events in the future.

The details

When Las Vegas hosted Super Bowl LVIII in 2024, the event generated over $1 billion in economic impact and drew more than 330,000 visitors to the area. However, the city saw a significant decline in tourism and gaming revenue the following year. Now, the return of the Super Bowl in 2029 is expected to provide a much-needed boost, with the NFL and local officials touting Las Vegas' ability to handle the logistical demands of the big game.

  • Las Vegas will host Super Bowl LXIII in 2029.
  • The city previously hosted Super Bowl LVIII in 2024.

What they’re saying

“We're proud the NFL has selected Las Vegas to host Super Bowl LXIII. Our first Super Bowl showcased the unique energy and scale only this destination can offer, bringing together world-class sports, entertainment, and hospitality in one place. 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 Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA)

“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. 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.”

— Roger Goodell, Commissioner of the National Football League (NFL)

“The (LVCVA) has just stacked this schedule of national and international events. This year, we got Frozen Four coming up in a couple of weeks, and then you double down with WrestleMania. Next year you got the college football championship. Following year you got the Final Four. That year will be the opening year of the A's, and then potentially the NBA team. The next year is going be the Super Bowl, so yeah, it's pretty amazing to see the quality and the scale of these events coming to Vegas. Really amazing.”

— Derek Stevens, Owner of the Circa resort in Las Vegas
