Airlines Adding Flights To Las Vegas For Big Game

If you have family and friends thinking about coming to town, know that airlines are adding flights to Las Vegas for the Big Game! This bodes well especially if you have relatives in San Francisco or Kansas City! According to a recent report at Channel 3, American Airlines and Southwest Airlines are adding a few more direct flights to Las Vegas.

Got to make sure that everyone gets here that's a fan right? If you think you missed out, these new flights will be added starting February 8th through the 11th. As far as price goes, it might cost ya a bit. And if you're checking flights now, not much left. That's maybe why they are adding a few more.

Since this is during the big weekend, room avails might not be as plenty! C'mon, we're getting down to crunch time so booking a room might be a little pricy as well. So, if you do have family or friends coming, you might want to get ready to house a few of them for that weekend. Or the other idea is to rent out your house for the weekend. However, before you do that, make sure you know all the rules and guidelines for "short term" rentals throughout the valley!

Let's face it, it's gonna get a little crazy in this town over the next couple of weeks. Not to mention everything else going on in this city. For example, my cousin bought tickets for U2 at the Sphere the same weekend as the Big Game! He did so a while ago without realizing that there was another HUGE football event going on. Couldn't understand the price for rooms... then the light went on!

As much as everyone wants to be on the Las Vegas Strip, please note there are other properties. As a local for over 35 years, I can tell you that there are properties around the valley... Station Casino properties, The Rampart, Suncoast and more! All still in Las Vegas and you'll be sure to have just as good of a time!

A typical Super Bowl Sunday in Las Vegas is already pretty busy. Fans from all around the country descend upon the Strip to bet, watch and drink. This year, things are getting much, much bigger.

On Wednesday, the National Football League and the Las Vegas Super Bowl LVIII Host Committee descended upon Vu Las Vegas to unveil a 'super' week of events that'll keep fans busy!

The Super Bowl host city transforms for the Big Game! From concerts to foodie events, meet and greets and fan experiences, the week leading up to the Super Bowl is a dream for football fans! Celebrities are swarming around, media from around the world is at every corner.

This is where Las Vegas is bound to shine. While other cities have to build experiences, Las Vegas is an experience. So some favorites in town are going to transform into NFL-themed havens.

“Super Bowl LVIII will mark an historic achievement for the city of Las Vegas," said Sam Joffray, the President & CEO of the Las Vegas Super Bowl LVIII Host Committee. “Las Vegas is renowned for its entertainment and hospitality, and we are grateful to our community partners and elected officials for their support and collaboration in planning these monumental events. Together, we look forward to welcoming fans to the city for what will be an unforgettable week."

There is no question this is a moment that the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority has been daydreaming about for years. A decade ago, the city was dead to rights with the league. Today, hosting the biggest sporting event in the country.

So if you're looking for the list of events, behold! We have them straight from the horse's mouth at the NFL! Take a look!

If you can't afford the thousands of dollars it'll cost to get in for the Big Game, you can at least sniff the air the two best teams in the league will breathe. Super Bowl players and coaches will have their media day, you'll get a look at how they've dolled up the stadium and there'll be plenty of merch and photo ops. Tickets start at $30 in December at SuperBowl.com.

And don't sleep on the media day mess! It's a madhouse and some funny moments come from it every year! Take a look at the video!

The perfect experience for the kiddos and the kid in you. It's like a football theme park! Meet NFL legends, get pictures and autographs, play interactive games and attend youth football clinics. You can even get a picture with the crown jewel, the Vince Lombardi trophy! See all the Super Bowl rings and more! Take a look above at last year's experience!

Tickets start at $25 on Wednesday and climb up to $50 on Friday and Saturday. Thankfully kids 12 and under are free. Best part of all, on Thursday there will be a special Sensory Hour for those who need an environment with less noise and flash. Great idea.

Since 1989, the league has brought football and music together for one night. It's a big anniversary for the event when it takes place at Pearl at The Palms. Tickets go on sale December 1st at SuperBowlSoulful.com.
