Higher Vegas visitation and wagering expected during Super Bowl weekend

Las Vegas tourism officials estimated 275,000 visitors during this past weekend's Super Bowl celebration. The expected nongaming economic impact is projected at $85.6 million, 3% higher than last year's $83.1 million.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board estimated $82.7 million in Super Bowl wagers throughout Nevada; other sources suggested higher estimates of between $88 - 90 million. Early reports suggest that Vegas bookies lost big this year due to the actual game and spread outcomes.

Cheers...
