The Super Bowl was estimated to bring in at least $500 million in spending. And over the long weekend, spending could reach as high as $1.1 billion.
Officials at Harry Reid International Airport cautioned travelers to give themselves plenty of time to get there.
“The hospitality here, you outdid it,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said. “I think it’s safe to say the NFL looks forward to coming back.”
Capacity for Sunday’s Super Bowl at Allegiant Stadium will be just less than what can be hosted for a regular season Raiders home game.
THE LATEST
Hotel rooms will be full — and cost more than ever. Those not going to the game will spend for home parties. The Super Bowl is shaping up to be bigger than predicted.
