00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:11.679
This is Inside the Vegas Huddle,
your podcast connection to the events and initiatives

2
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:16.000
led by the Las Vegas Super Bowl
fifty eight Host Committee in advance of the

3
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:22.160
big game at Allegiance Stadium. Welcome
to Inside the Vegas Huddle. All right,

4
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:25.239
we'll go back inside the Huddle this
time. We welcome in from Applied

5
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:29.800
to Analysis, the principal analyst for
Applied to Analysis and really the treasure and

6
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:32.640
this is the best guy for this
job, the treasure of the Las Vegas

7
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:36.320
Super Bowl Host Committee, the guru
with all the numbers, Jeremy Aguero.

8
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:39.759
Thank you very much for being here
as we go inside the Las Vegas,

9
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:42.759
the Vegas Huddle. This is fabulous
because when you think of Las Vegas and

10
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:46.439
the economic impact with Super Bowl fifty
eight, above and beyond anything the NFL

11
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:50.280
will ever achieve up to this point. First of all, thanks for having

12
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.479
me. Second all, I think
you're right. I mean, look,

13
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:56.320
there's no doubt that Super Bowl is
going to be incredible for Las Vegas.

14
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.280
We look at some of the numbers, but Las Vegas will be pretty great

15
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.840
for the Super Bowl. You know, other markets have done an incredible job.

16
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:06.680
I don't want to be disparaging toward
anyone. We're looking at all those

17
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:08.439
taking lessons learned from all of them. But this is what we do,

18
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:12.159
Chris, this is what we do. Right. This community was designed to

19
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.840
host people. We have one hundred
and fifty thousand hotel rooms, We've got

20
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:21.319
the seventh busiest origination and destination airport
anywhere in the United States, and three

21
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:25.439
hundred thousand leisure and hospitality workers that
are dedicated to the proposition that the party's

22
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:27.959
not over until the last person goes
home. There's nowhere else in the United

23
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.159
States that has those things. This
is what we do. We host major

24
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.000
events. You bring your big event
here, not only is it going to

25
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.120
be amazing, but we're going to
do it better than other places. And

26
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.239
Joanna, we could just wrap it
up right. Yea, I think he

27
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:47.879
knows in stuff now. I know
that fourth generation Las Vegas resident. Obviously

28
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:52.719
you have deep roots in our community. What does it mean for the Las

29
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:57.599
Vegas people to host an event like
this, people like yourself who've been born

30
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.879
raised here, seen all the changes. What do you mean, First of

31
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:05.280
all, it's remarkable. Yeah,
right, you know, my son reached

32
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.560
out to me and reached out asked
me a couple of days ago. Hey,

33
00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:10.120
you know, I really want to
go to the preseason game that's going

34
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:15.120
to be an Allegian this weekend where
San Francisco's playing against the Raiders. You

35
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:16.240
know, I never had that opportunity
to do that my dad. My dad

36
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:22.039
was an incredible football fan. There's
something special about being able to share those

37
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:24.719
kind of experiences with a family,
with a community, those type of things.

38
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:29.159
We saw it with the Aces winning
the national championship. We saw it

39
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:32.240
with the Golden Knights carrying the Stanley
Cup. Right. This community comes together

40
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:37.560
around that and we never had it. But beyond that, beyond that,

41
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:43.800
it is the evolution of Las Vegas. Right prior to twenty seventeen, when

42
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.080
these sports were coming into town,
sports, entertainment, those type of things

43
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:50.879
was on the list, but relatively
low in terms of the primary motivation for

44
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:54.800
someone coming to Las Vegas. Today
it is the second largest motivation for someone

45
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:58.919
deciding to get on a plane or
get in a car and come to Las

46
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.919
Vegas. That is markable. That
is the evolution of an economy when you

47
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:06.120
start to think about how we grow
and how we develop next, and how

48
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:09.199
we keep all these people working in
all these hotels occupied. It is things

49
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:15.159
like the next event that are incredible. Then you add onto it events that

50
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:19.759
are of global significance, things like
the super Bowl. Right it is,

51
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:25.159
it's defining for us, and frankly, it brings a whole additional layer of

52
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:30.000
attention people that maybe came to Las
Vegas for something else, but coming for

53
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:34.639
the super Bowl means coming for an
epic party and this is the place they're

54
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:38.439
gonna happen. You know, fault
when you think about that, what you

55
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:40.000
were saying, Jeremy, when you
have f one coming in November, then

56
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.439
you got the super Bowl coming February
eleven, fifty eight here in Vegas.

57
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:46.280
These events kind of shape the future
of what Las Vegas is going to be

58
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:51.840
all about. Yeah, look because
these are going to be the two largest

59
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.400
events in our lifetimes, right at
least up to now. I mean,

60
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:58.319
who knows what happens next. But
what you the way you phrase that,

61
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:01.080
I think is absolutely right. We
have got to perform on these This is

62
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:09.759
why Allegian Stadium was built in frank
formula one's ability to put a global set

63
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:13.400
of eyes on Las Vegas. I
mean, the one element of our community

64
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:18.680
that is yet to really truly recover
post pandemic is international travel. Right at

65
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:23.319
its peak, it was about nineteen
percent of visitation came from outside of the

66
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:27.000
United States. That number is lower
now than it was then. And look,

67
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.639
I believe that you and I are
the three of us, are going

68
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.480
to get together and have a conversation
a year from now, and we're going

69
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.199
to talk about that increase in international
visitation, the folks that want to come

70
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:39.000
out, And some of it's going
to be because Formula one's going to happen

71
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:43.800
hopefully every year for the next decade. But the combination, the combination,

72
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:49.120
the exponential effect of this being the
place where these two events happen is spectacular

73
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:54.680
on an order of a market like
ours, bringing that relevance, bringing that

74
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:58.839
attention, and reminding people Las Vegas
is a place you want. Well,

75
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:00.959
can you elaborate that on a little
bit more in terms of how the super

76
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:08.680
Bowl's presence is really expected to shape
and influence our city's sports scene. Yeah?

77
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:12.639
Sure, Look, I think on
a number of levels, just this

78
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:17.120
fact that the super Bowl is here
is remarkable, right, but look we're

79
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:21.480
already seeing it, right, the
raiders coming in and frankly, the courage

80
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:27.079
of folks like Mark Davis and elected
officials that brought that together and constructing it

81
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.199
during a pandemic. Right, we
were talking right before we came in here

82
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.399
about the fact that that venue where
we're going to host the Super Bowl also

83
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:38.000
brought the Draft right here. We
wouldn't have had that without that. We

84
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:40.399
had the All Star Game, we
wouldn't have had that, the Pro Bowl,

85
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.079
Excuse me, we wouldn't have had
that without that. What about the

86
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:48.040
fact that we packed Allegiance Stadium twice
for international friendly soccer matches without that,

87
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:50.959
right, we wouldn't have that.
And I think you also have to give

88
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:56.000
a lot of credit to the folks
that constructed Timobal Arena, right that opened

89
00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:00.680
April sixth of nineth of twenty sixteen. Yeah, right, and look at

90
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:02.319
what we've seen there. Look at
the basketball games, we look at the

91
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:06.759
epic fights that we've had there,
look at the UFC matches that we've had

92
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:12.399
there. Right, we were talking
in twenty sixteen about whether or not we

93
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:15.519
could evolve into a sports town,
Right, that's not even a conversation.

94
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.639
People are sports now, we are, right, and that's what everybody's talking

95
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:25.040
about. Transformational for us and then
when you think about the economic benefits,

96
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:28.759
not only the f one that's in
the billions, I understand the super Bowl

97
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.720
fifty eight coming up that's in the
high one hundred millions, like six hundred

98
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:34.600
million whatever. What are those numbers
that you kind of put together, Now,

99
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:36.920
what can we expect? Sure?
Look, I mean from an economic

100
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:41.000
impact statement, you said it exactly
right, Right, You've got gross economic

101
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.040
impact and you've got net economic impact. And I'm not trying to get all

102
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:47.000
wonky, but we have to remember
that we even won the Super Bowl,

103
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.720
isn't here. There are more people
in Las Vegas than there are wherever the

104
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:55.079
super Bowl is, right, and
so you know we have a lot of

105
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.800
activity anyway, but this elevates the
city, right, This changes it.

106
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.759
Yes, Allegiance Stay can hold about
sixty five thousand people, but it's a

107
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:05.040
different sixty five thousand people that are
going to be there during the super Bowl,

108
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:08.680
right, A lot of people that
are VIPs and all of those type

109
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.439
of things, which tremendous for our
community. So if we look at it

110
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:14.360
on a gross standpoint, it is
it's approaching a billion dollars. If we

111
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:16.240
look at on a net standpoint,
where we net out. People that may

112
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.879
not come to Las Vegas. Maybe
they'll come sometime later, but they're not

113
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:23.079
going to come during Super Bowl weekend
because we're gonna be sold out on Super

114
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.680
Bowl weekend. Right. If we're
looking at that, it's probably closer to

115
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:29.720
six to seven hundred million dollars that's
there. But I think the other part

116
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.879
that sometimes missing from all that is
that a lot of that money stays in

117
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:38.360
our community. A lot of that
ghost jobs that get created in our community,

118
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:41.560
and a lot of that goes to
wages and salaries to pay those jobs

119
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:44.040
in our communities. I mean,
we, more than anywhere else in the

120
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.160
United States, are depending on things
like cratuities, tips, of course,

121
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:49.959
and those are greater during this period. What about all the convention related activity.

122
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.120
I'm talking about not traditional conventions like
cs, but I'm talking about all

123
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:59.160
the special events and meetings and conventions
and ballrooms. What about every entertainment venue

124
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:03.519
being packed and booked during Super Bowl? What about every restaurant being packed and

125
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:09.560
booked because every team will have its
own party and all the sponsors, all

126
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:11.399
their sponsors. Right, So you
start to think about that, what does

127
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:16.639
that mean in terms of jobs?
It means probably close to ten thousand jobs.

128
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:18.439
Now we can look at that in
terms of full time equivalence, we're

129
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:22.120
gonna have nine thousand volunteers alone,
right, And then you start to think

130
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.079
about something beyond that, and I
think it's important that we point out about

131
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:30.000
the opportunities that are created as a
result of that. Right when you talk

132
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:35.080
about everything that the super Bowl is
doing and the NFL is doing to engage

133
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:39.440
small businesses, minority owned businesses,
women own businesses, that are in own

134
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:45.879
businesses, those type of job connection
programs that are being here are identifying these

135
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:48.600
folks early on. We're six months
out from now the super Bowl is going

136
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:54.159
to be here in southern Nevada,
and we're already reaching out and engaging these

137
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.600
businesses to be a part of that. Over three hundred businesses identified and qualified

138
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:01.399
to be a part of the super
Bowl, and that is that's tremendous for

139
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.279
us in terms of having a legacy
beyond just game day, right, And

140
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:09.879
I think to that point that trickled
down effect that outside of even the sports

141
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.919
scene, everything else that will just
be boosted on a national level. I

142
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:18.399
know U and l VLM, right
like spotlight on our university and everything else

143
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.200
that's so great about our community.
Obviously, the Super Bowl shines a light

144
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:26.240
on that. You could not have
said that any better, right, I

145
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:31.200
mean, they take every opportunity to
shine a light on the portions of the

146
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.639
areas within a community that we want
to draw attention to, and we get

147
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.240
to be part of that conversation.
Let's not forget that. One of the

148
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.799
assets that we have in this community
that other places don't is the Las Vegas

149
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:48.120
Convention and Visitors Authority that went through
the process of applying for this negotiating with

150
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:54.080
the NFL and are so important to
marketing our city. As part of that,

151
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.480
the ability for them to essentially engage, right because we know how to

152
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.600
have citywide events right, know how
to get everybody's marquis on the same level.

153
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.240
Right now, we've got the sphere
opened up, which everybody's keeping an

154
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:09.360
eye on. These are incredible assets, and those assets are sometimes physical.

155
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.279
We talked about un l Eagle Rebels, right, we talk about that,

156
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.200
But we also have incredible stories to
tell in this community. We're doing some

157
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:20.799
pretty tremendous things, and oftentimes that
is overlooked when it's a smaller event.

158
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.679
Hey, we had a killer soccer
match. It's all about that. That's

159
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:26.679
not what the super Bowl is about, or even Formula One, because like

160
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:31.639
we're talking about a moment ago,
it's about shining a light on the venue

161
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.519
as the host of this incredible events. And from that standpoint, we get

162
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.240
to be more than just what happens
on the field or on the track.

163
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.799
Right there, we really are the
arena to the world. That LVCVA promo

164
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.799
that talks about how we are we
arena to the world and so forth.

165
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:48.720
But I think about this when you
think of all the events, like you

166
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:52.840
were just mentioning, you could have
UFC on a Saturday. You see our

167
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.279
Golden Nights playing on a Friday.
You got the Writers playing on a Sunday.

168
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:58.960
All these different events going on.
Now, my question is could it

169
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.639
ever become over sat rated? Yeah? Yeah, Look, I think we're

170
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:03.840
worried about that a little bit.
Right today in this market, we have

171
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.120
three hundred and fifteen thousand seats in
major entertainment venues. That's a lot for

172
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:11.799
us, right for a market of
our size. It's way too many for

173
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:16.559
what we have right now. Our
secret sauce is visitors and they're looking for

174
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.519
something to do and it's bringing them
back. But the question that you ask,

175
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.120
I think is a very good one, because yes, there is a

176
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.200
saturation point. I think we're there
now. No, I don't, But

177
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.039
I think we have to be very
mindful because the saturation point is not only

178
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.039
going to come because we can't draw
enough people in to come and see their

179
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.000
team or whoever's playing our team one
way or the other. We have to

180
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:37.960
think about transportation, getting people in
and out of McCarron International Airport, getting

181
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.240
from along the Las Vegas Strip.
We can see that some of the transportation.

182
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:43.120
Look in this town, there's a
fair amount of construction going on,

183
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.440
which we all kind of see.
We have to we have to think about

184
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:50.600
that in the right way. We
have to make sure that safety is always

185
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:52.559
paramount. Right. Do we have
enough police officers to work? And are

186
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.639
we asking to work so much over
time because we have so many special events

187
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:00.240
because they're back to back to back, right, our biggest risk is that

188
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.200
we don't get the next event,
although that is a big risk. Our

189
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.879
biggest risk is that we don't perform
on these events. That is what this

190
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.559
community needs to do. And oftentimes
I feel like we've gotten to this point

191
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:13.039
where we're trying to take, take, take, What is the Super Bowl

192
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:13.519
going to do for us? What
is this going to do for us?

193
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:18.559
What this community needs to be thinking
about is the ways that we facilitate making

194
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.799
this work. Hey, how can
I volunteer? Hey do I need to

195
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:24.320
take a different route to work?
Hey do I need to be a little

196
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:28.840
bit patient relative to that? The
answer to those questions are yes. Whether

197
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:33.600
you're an elected official or somebody working
in our hospitality industry, we're all part

198
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:37.000
of making this a great experience for
the people that come here to do it,

199
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:41.279
and they're them making the choice to
do it is what makes our economy

200
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:46.120
move forward. So us finding that
way to make sure that we're all involved

201
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:48.679
in making sure that these events are
tremendous. I think it's critical to the

202
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.679
performance. Vegas makes everybody feel like
a VIP. That's their goal. Everybody

203
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:58.440
who comes to town has to be
right absolutely. And I know the podcast

204
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.399
is called Inside the Vegas Huddle,
but I think we need Jeremy and every

205
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:05.279
Raiders huddle because I don't feel more
motivated than when talking to this man right

206
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:09.399
here, because of just the big
picture outlook that you see now. I

207
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:11.360
don't know Chris. Maybe I'm jumping
the gun a little bit, but is

208
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:16.759
it too early to potentially talk about
can we get the Super Bowl back again

209
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:18.720
after twenty twenty four? Look,
that's the goal, yeah, right.

210
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:22.559
I mean, let's be clear.
We did not build a Leegiance Stadium and

211
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.440
put seven hundred and fifty million dollars
of public money into that to have one

212
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:30.279
event one time. Right. No, No, that's not what it's about.

213
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:33.360
It is about us being able to
say we'll put a premiere venue in

214
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:39.200
a premiere community of a premier city, all right, and this is where

215
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.120
your event needs to be. Because
I think Chris said this earlier as we

216
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:48.759
were sort of talking, right,
the super Bowl coming here tremendous for us.

217
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:52.799
We also wanted to be tremendous for
the NFL. So when they get

218
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:56.000
done with it, they're like,
that was the best super Bowl. We

219
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:58.600
had the best responses, Our fans
had the best time, our sponsors had

220
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:01.679
the most uh you know, they
they were seeing more than anywhere else.

221
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:05.000
They had a great time. We
want everyone to believe that's what it is,

222
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.720
because that's what's going to bring people
back. Before we let Jeremy go,

223
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:13.759
I gotta ask him because we asked
our other guests, the half time,

224
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:18.120
the Super Bowl halftime will be phenomenal. I want to ask you,

225
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:20.759
if you could bring any group together, groups together, what kind of half

226
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.480
time would you like to see in
Super Bowl fifty eight. Oh, but

227
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:30.879
that that's really tough, that's all. And especially for how long and how

228
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.159
deep his roots go in the Vegas
committee, I think it's gotta be.

229
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:37.039
We were saying, that's what we
were Joan and I were saying, how

230
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:41.440
about if you had the killers,
imagine dragons panic at the disco, Wayne

231
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:45.840
Newton, you throw in Look,
you know some of the residents. Look,

232
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:48.200
look all right, so you know
we can go through all of this.

233
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:52.960
Right. You have to understand that
I am the father of a young

234
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:56.000
daughter. Right, so look,
if I don't entertain, I'm done.

235
00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:03.960
I'm done, honestly. Maybe right
there, maybe right there. Obviously we

236
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.720
know that's one of the biggest tourism
all time. Obviously super Bowl fifty eight

237
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:11.279
being one of the biggest events of
all time coming to our city. Count

238
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:16.120
down to the big game. It's
on inside the Vegas Huddle is where you

239
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:18.639
can find all the details, prep
all the preparation, all the hard work,

240
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.559
the people behind the scenes and all
those numbers that Jeremy throw away too.

241
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:26.240
It's a lot of numbers here.
Jeremy's he's heading back to his calculator

242
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:31.000
because he gets off the air here. Good job. I'll tell you what

243
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:31.840
j went out. That was a
lot of fun. When you talk about

244
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:35.519
going inside the Vegas Huddle, we
went right behind the huddle. These guys

245
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:39.799
were phenomenal. You got the chairman
in here, you got the president,

246
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.080
so you have the host committee and
that of course Jeremy. I'm still catching

247
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:48.320
my breath with Jeremy Aguero because so
many numbers. That one really was incredible.

248
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:50.919
Obviously, we're so excited. We've
been talking about it for so long

249
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:54.080
and to be able to get that
preview of everything that it took to be

250
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:58.399
able to get Super Bowl fifty eight
here and everything that's to come, which

251
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:03.320
I'm so cited about inside the Vegas
Huddle because we're gonna be, you know,

252
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:07.320
obviously, peeling back that curtain a
little more each episode to allow people

253
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:10.320
to see more and more leading up
to Super Bowl fifty eight, and it's

254
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:14.440
less than six months away. The
anniversary was on Friday to the day,

255
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:15.480
so that's gonna be a lot of
fun. Yeah, you know, the

256
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:19.080
planning, the preparation and pulling off
an event like this that the NFL says,

257
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:23.039
and all these guys you know you're
Sam and Marion and Jeremy talked about

258
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.720
how this will be the NFL's biggest
and best party. This will set the

259
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:30.200
bar from here on old, like
who has it next year? In the

260
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:32.240
follow when you're they gonna say,
we gotta do better than Vegas. Is

261
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:36.080
be really tough. It's gonna be
very tough. And I love when you

262
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:38.759
kind of ask Sam a little bit
about some of those events then you know,

263
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:42.759
just everyday people can attend and he
said, not quite yet. Can't

264
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:48.519
share those details yet, but that's
what's to come on inside the Vegas Huddle.

265
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:51.840
I know coming up next podcast that
we do will be able to talk

266
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:56.559
more about some of these awesome events
that people can plan for all around Super

267
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.320

272
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:14.640
big preview party where all the players
are there and they introduce them, you

00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:17.480
