Las Vegas sports books report large Super Bowl betting volume
Preliminary reports from Las Vegas hotel and sportsbetting operators are predicting high occupancy rates and betting volume for the 2010 Super Bowl weekend. Even when the official numbers won't be released by Nevada Gaming Authorities until later this week, several Las Vegas sportsbooks and casinos said this year's volume is likely to reach the $90 million mark, exceeding the $81.5 million betting volume reported last year.
According to Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, approximately 278.000 visitors were expected to traveled to Sin City this past weekend to celebrate the biggest game of the season, bringing nearly $90 million in non-gaming revenue, which represents a 14% increase compared to last year's Super Bowl weekend. Hotel occupancy is also expected to reach at least 83%, another boost from 2009. However, thousands of rooms have been added over the last months with the opening of CityCenter's new Aria and Mandarin Resorts and the new luxury towers at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
The biggest single-game bet in history was the 2006 Super Bowl between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks, which brought $94.5 million in action. The 2009 Super Bowl between the Steelers and Arizona Cardinals reported the lowest single game wagering volume with only $81.1 million, $11 million less from the previous year.
