Super Bowl 2024: Top 10 storylines including Patrick Mahomes, Brock Purdy and yes, Taylor Swift

Las Vegas has been an entertainment capital of the United States for a long time, and it’s rapid transformation into one of the sports capitals of the U.S. has been startling. The NHL awarded an expansion team to Sin City for the 2017-18 season, the NFL moved the Raiders to Las Vegas, Major League Baseball’s Oakland A’s plan to move there and the NBA will have to entertain the option at some point.
