Las Vegas Strip Crowd on Super Bowl Weekend
Super Bowl Weekend is in full swing and we have a very respectable crowd in town.
I’m not sure if it’s “third busiest weekend in Las Vegas” busy, though, which it has purportedly been over the years.
Traffic is certainly worse than usual, but only modestly so. Up to this point, I have been able to zip in and out of sports books to grab betting sheets with little to no delay, and book window lines have not been appreciably longer than they are during a random NFL Sunday.
Casino floors have been widely variable from “normal” at Paris to “downright packed” at the adjacent Bally’s.
With overcast skies, drizzle, and temperatures hovering in the 50′s, the weather this weekend could not be more perfect. I would go so far as to say that this is as good as it gets for Las Vegas.
The weekend has also been somewhat mellow for yours truly.
I scheduled a poker tournament on Friday afternoon at the Luxor, but as luck would have it for the participants, the table was overbooked and I had to cede my seat. With me out of the game, those who played had a shot at winning some money. From what I hear, two chicks won the tournament, so in retrospect I can’t help but have liked my chances.
