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."

Wagging Tails Rescue: Giving Hope to Homeless Dogs in Las Vegas

June 4, 2025
Nestled in the heart of Las Vegas, Wagging Tails Rescue is a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to saving homeless and abandoned dogs from high-kill shelters and owner surrenders. Unlike traditional shelters, Wagging Tails Rescue operates through a network of loving volunteers and foster homes, providing temporary safe havens for dogs — especially pregnant moms and orphaned puppies — until they find their forever families. With no physical facility, the rescue’s strength lies in its community of passionate foster caregivers who nurture these pups with love, care, and attention. Beyond rescuing dogs, Wagging Tails Rescue champions responsible pet ownership through education on spay/neuter, positive behavior training, and proper nutrition. Want to meet some of these adorable dogs and maybe even adopt? Keep an eye on their Instagram @waggingtailsrescuelv for updates on frequent adoption events. From fun puppy yoga sessions to gatherings at Petco and even “Puppies and Pints” at Lovelady Brewery, there are plenty of opportunities to support and connect with this amazing rescue. Every wagging tail tells a story — and at Wagging Tails Rescue, those stories always end with hope and a happy home.

Las Vegas Parking Guide

May 27, 2025
If you’re a first-time visitor to Las Vegas, the idea of paying for parking might not be as big of a deal as it is to those of us who’ve been around for a while. Just a few years ago, it was practically unheard of to pay for parking on The Strip. Free parking was a standard expectation for both locals and casino guests alike. But times have changed, and many of the big casinos along the iconic Las Vegas Strip have started charging for parking. While we’ll let you draw your own conclusions about whether or not parking fees are justified (locals, we feel your pain), we’re here to guide you on where to park on the Las Vegas Strip. So, buckle up, and check out our list to see where you can park for free as a local! First three hours of self-parking are free for locals: • The Aria • The Bellagio • Caesar’s Palace • The Cosmopolitan • The Cromwell • The Excalibur • The Flamingo • The LINQ • Luxor • The MGM & Park MGM • Planet Hollywood • Wynn & the Encore Free Parking across the board • Rio • The Palms As a final tip when it comes to visiting the strip: Check and see if the casino does any sort of parking validation. A lot of times they will give you free parking if you spend a certain amount of money inside, are a guest (on a staycation) or are a certain tier level among their rewards programs. Remember, it never hurts to ask. If you're visiting Las Vegas, be sure to check with your hotel about whether parking and valet services are included when you book your room. It's a cost worth factoring into your trip planning!
