Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium has been selected as the venue for Super Bowl LVIII, which will be played in February 2024. City officials are already predicting record-breaking crowds and revenue, as Super Bowl weekends draw hundreds of thousands of visitors even when the games are played in other cities. The selection also marks the conclusion of a long journey for Las Vegas, which has gone from being scorned by the NFL for making betting lines on its games to being celebrated as the host of the league’s most prestigious event.
Airport renamed: Las Vegas’ airport, called McCarran International Airport since 1948, is now officially Harry Reid International Airport. The name change was put in motion when evidence surfaced that the prior namesake, Nevada Sen. Pat McCarran, had publicly taken “racist, anti-semitic and xenophobic” stances. Harry Reid served five U.S. Senate terms (1987-2017) in Nevada. The airport’s FAA code, LAS, remains the same.

Question: Is the Tropicana being replaced with a baseball stadium?
Answer: As of now it’s only a rumor that the Tropicana is the preferred site for a Major League Baseball stadium that would house the current Oakland Athletics in a move to Las Vegas.
