Nevada sportsbooks collected $185.6 million in Super Bowl wagers, surpassing the previous record of $179.8 million set in 2022. The Kansas City Chiefs' 25-22 victory over the San Francisco 49ers meant that the Chiefs stake was won and the total stake was split. Given that the line was swinging between his 47 (refund) and 47.5, the under him bettor would win. The book earned him $6.8 million, which is 3.7% of his handle amount. The house doesn't always win, but it usually does. This is his 32nd Super Bowl win for a casino in 34 years.
Vegas score: Projections that the Super Bowl would generate $500 million in spending for Las Vegas appeared to be low, with some analysts saying the number could reach $1.1 billion. On the public relations side, 123.4 million viewers tuned in, making it the second-largest television audience in history after the Apollo 11 moon landing.
Win also joins us: Wynn Resorts joins MGM Resorts Aria, Bellagio, Cosmopolitan, MGM Grand and Vdara in increasing resort fees from $5 to $50 starting on February 24th. In mid-January, MGM broke through the $50 barrier. He just couldn't do it a year ago. Additionally, Durango opened with a resort fee of $50.85 and Fontainebleau with his $51.02. $55, anyone?
Dollar oysters: Although rare, Las Vegas still features $1 oyster specials. Eat Dollar Oysters all day on Tuesdays at Cap't Loui, a non-casino restaurant in Sahara and Ft. Apache, about 11 miles west of the Strip. Heading downtown on the Strip, turn left onto Sahara and keep driving until you hit it.
Question: What happened to the bet on the national anthem at this year's Super Bowl?
Answer: The over/under line for the national anthem was 1:30.5, which was lower than previous performances. Reba McIntyre sang this song at a fast pace and still held down her last word “brave” for 12 seconds before she came out in 1 minute 35 seconds and the better one was rewarded. .
