Las Vegas to Host Super Bowl LXIII in 2029 as Governor Lombardo Hails Nevada’s Sports Boom

In a unanimous vote at the NFL owners’ meetings in Phoenix, Las Vegas has been selected to host Super Bowl LXIII on February 11, 2029, at Allegiant Stadium—the second time the city will welcome the biggest game in American sports in just five years. 

Governor Joe Lombardo released a statement Monday celebrating the news and tying it to Nevada’s recent string of sports victories. “I want to thank the NFL for once again choosing Las Vegas to host the Super Bowl,” Lombardo said. “Nevada continues to earn opportunities like this because we’re delivering results. In the past week alone, the NBA announced it is exploring expansion to Las Vegas, and the NFL announced Las Vegas will host Super Bowl LXIII. Las Vegas is the new sports capital of the world, and I look forward to bringing more events, economic growth, and opportunity to the hardworking Nevadans who make it the premier entertainment destination.”   

The announcement comes on the heels of Super Bowl LVIII in 2024, which delivered a massive economic windfall to Southern Nevada. According to an analysis by Applied Analysis for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, the game generated a total economic impact of more than $1 billion, including $230 million in incremental direct wages and salaries for local workers and $33.6 million in tax revenues for state and local governments.  Officials at the time reported the event drew roughly 330,000 visitors and supported thousands of jobs across hospitality, retail, and transportation sectors.   

Lombardo’s office has repeatedly pointed to the 2024 Super Bowl as proof that Nevada’s business-friendly policies and infrastructure investments are paying dividends—especially as neighboring California continues to lose major events and businesses to higher taxes and regulatory burdens. 

The return of the Super Bowl in 2029 underscores Las Vegas’s emergence as a true sports hub, following the successful launch of the NFL’s Raiders franchise and ongoing talks for an NBA expansion team.   

Business and civic leaders echoed the governor’s optimism. “This is another testament to the entire community,” one area official told the Las Vegas Review-Journal, noting that the Super Bowl’s return will drive billions more in visitor spending and reinforce Las Vegas’s status as a global entertainment destination.  

With Allegiant Stadium already proven as a world-class venue, Nevada officials say they are ready to deliver an even bigger spectacle in 2029—building on the jobs, wages, and tax dollars that poured into the state the last time the Super Bowl came to town.
