Event Schedule for Super Bowl LVIII Released

There's More Than Just the Game Coming to Las Vegas

Although the season has yet to officially start, excitement for this year's Super Bowl is already starting to ramp up. Super Bowl LVIII Week in Las Vegas is set to host a plethora of events across multiple venues throughout the city. The NFL and the Las Vegas Super Bowl LVIII Host Committee recently unveiled the schedule of activities, which includes details about the fan-favorite Super Bowl Experience and community engagement initiatives.


The week's lineup encompasses various venues, showcasing more than just the Allegiant Stadium, where the highly anticipated game will occur on February 11. It's projected that this event-packed week will mark one of Las Vegas' most financially lucrative periods. "We're talking a minimum of $500 million, but the estimates realistically range between $600 million to $700 million," stated Steve Hill, President and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. "This is the incremental amount, exceeding what we typically see during a non-Super Bowl hosting year."


The festivities will commence with Super Bowl Opening Night on February 5 at Allegiant Stadium, offering fans a unique opportunity to hear from the players and coaches participating in the game. This event serves as the sole public appearance of the players before the Super Bowl. During Opening Night, fans can partake in various activities, including photo opportunities, exclusive merchandise shopping at the NFL Shop, and autograph sessions with NFL players not participating in the Super Bowl. Tickets for this event, available in December, are priced at $30.


From February 7 to 10, the Super Bowl Experience will take place at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. This interactive football-themed park, a staple of every Super Bowl, provides fans with opportunities to collect autographs from current NFL players and legends, purchase merchandise, engage in new and improved interactive games, and participate in youth football clinics. Visitors can also take photos with the Vince Lombardi Trophy and view a display of all 57 Super Bowl rings. On February 8, a sensory hour will be offered to accommodate individuals with special needs and sensory sensitivities. Ticket prices for the Super Bowl Experience, available in December, vary depending on the day, with children aged 12 and under enjoying free entry throughout the week. On February 7, tickets will be $25 for entry from 3 PM to 10 PM, while on February 8 and 9, tickets will cost $50 for entry during the same hours. The final day, February 10, will have a $50 ticket price and will be open from 10 AM to 10 PM.


The 25th Annual Super Bowl Soulful Celebration is set for Wednesday, February 7, at The Pearl Theater at Palms. This exclusive NFL-sanctioned multicultural program combines football and music. Tickets for the event, which go on sale December 1, provide an opportunity to enjoy the intersection of sports and entertainment. On Saturday, February 10, the culinary experience known as the Taste of the NFL will take place at the Keep Memory Alive Center downtown. Featuring a tasting menu curated by top chefs from both national and local scenes, this event will be hosted by culinary stars Andrew Zimmern, Carla Hall, Tim Love, Lasheeda Perry, and Mark Bucher. More than 30 NFL legends are expected to make appearances. Proceeds from the event will support GENYOUTH, a national nonprofit dedicated to promoting well-nourished and physically active lives among school children. Attendees must be at least 21 years old to participate in Taste of the NFL.


With several signature events and activities yet to be announced by the NFL and its partners, the excitement will only continue to build. Peter O'Reilly emphasized, "The excitement is palpable within the league office, among our fans, and with our league partners. Vegas is already a huge draw, but when you add the Super Bowl to the mix, the excitement escalates further. We're ready; the countdown is on."

Las Vegas Ranked #9 for Diverse Food Scenes in the U.S.

September 8, 2025
When people think of food diversity in America, their minds usually go straight to New York City. But according to a recent study highlighted by the esteemed culinary school, Escoffier, the Big Apple doesn’t take the top spot. Instead, San Francisco claimed first place — praised for its bustling variety of cuisines and holding the title for the highest density of restaurants per capita among major U.S. cities. What’s even more exciting for us locals? Las Vegas earned the #9 spot on the list of the most diverse food cities in the country. Why Vegas Stands Out Las Vegas may be known worldwide for its neon lights and entertainment, but the dining scene is what keeps both tourists and residents hungry for more. From celebrity chef–driven restaurants on the Strip to hidden neighborhood gems serving authentic global flavors, Vegas has transformed into a true culinary destination. While seven of the top 10 cities named in the study were coastal (a trend Escoffier notes is tied to cultural diversity and a robust restaurant scene), Las Vegas proves that you don’t have to sit on the coast to experience world-class variety. Our city thrives on international influence — with dining options that range from Korean barbecue and Italian trattorias to Thai street food, upscale steakhouses, and plant-based fine dining. A Foodie Destination on the Rise Being ranked in the top 10 isn’t just a nod to the Strip’s luxury restaurants, but also to the everyday spots that locals love. With new eateries opening regularly, the Vegas dining scene continues to evolve and surprise. So, whether you’re a longtime resident or just visiting, Las Vegas offers something for every craving — proving once again that this city is more than just an entertainment capital. It’s a place where cultures, flavors, and creativity come together to make the dining experience as dynamic as the city itself.

The Power of Gratitude in Building Strong Business Relationships

September 3, 2025
In business, one truth always stands out: no one succeeds alone. Whether you’re running a small business or managing a large organization, your success is built on the connections you make. And one of the simplest yet most impactful ways to strengthen those relationships is through gratitude. At McKenna Property Management, we’ve made gratitude a core part of our culture from the very beginning. Our owner and broker, Jenni McKenna, personally hand-delivers gifts to some of our VIP agents every single month . While it may sound like a small gesture, it makes a big difference. These thoughtful touches show our VIP Agents how much we value their trust in us, collaboration, and hard work. But it’s not just about the gifts. Gratitude comes in many forms—thank-you cards, handwritten notes, or even a quick phone call to say “we appreciate you.” What matters most is the consistency and authenticity behind the gesture. Over the years, these small acts of appreciation have helped us build trust, loyalty, and long-lasting relationships that go beyond a simple business transaction. By showing genuine appreciation, we’ve created strong bonds with clients and agents alike, and those connections have allowed McKenna Property Management to grow into what it is today. If you’re a business owner or professional, here’s our tip: make gratitude part of your business strategy. It doesn’t have to be extravagant—even the simplest “thank you” can strengthen relationships and open the door to new opportunities. At the end of the day, business isn’t just about numbers—it’s about people. And people remember how you make them feel. 💙

Every Saturday and Sunday, a live DJ keeps the vibe upbeat while you enjoy brunch from 7:00 AM to 2:45 PM . Afternoon: Stroll through the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens , an ever-changing floral masterpiece perfect for photos (and a break from the casino floor). Each season the gardens transform into a different showcase of sights, sounds, scents and colors. The conservatory team changes out the design, and replant and repurpose as much of the living plant material as possible. Evening: Dinner at Din Tai Fung inside ARIA. If you’ve never tried their famous dumplings, you’re in for a treat — and yes, the chocolate xiao long bao is as good as it sounds. Night: Dance the night away at Omnia Nightclub in Caesars Palace, or if clubbing isn’t your thing, see one of the incredible Cirque du Soleil shows on the Strip!

This one is unapologetically raunchy and hilarious- and it is for ages 18+. More show recommendations can be found at the end of this blog! Day 2 – The Arts District Morning: Grab brunch at Makers & Finders , a lively Latin café with killer coffee and a creative menu.

Local Pro Tips Do not swim in the Beach Club pools — just trust us on this one. Avoid ATM fees in casinos by bringing cash ahead of time. Characters on the Strip aren’t free — they’ll ask for tips after photos. Don’t limit yourself to the Strip — Vegas has amazing off-Strip attractions. Escape rooms here are great! Try Escapology at Town Square or PanIQ Room at The Venetian. Bring comfortable walking shoes — distances on the Strip are deceiving. October is the best month for weather. Additional Show Recommendations: A Vegas Golden Knights Game A Raider’s Game ANYTHING at the Sphere (Postcards from Earth, The Backstreet Boys, Eagles, etc.) The Atomic Saloon Show inside the Venetian RuPaul’s Drag Race LIVE! At The Flamingo Las Vegas Exhibits/Museums to check out: The Bodies Exhibit The Titanic Exhibit The Neon Museum Madame Tussauds Mob Museum This 4-day plan mixes the best of the Strip with local treasures, so you’ll leave Vegas feeling like you’ve truly experienced it — not just skimmed the surface.
