Next year, Las Vegas will officially become a football city. No, not because the Raiders are moving there, but because the NFL Draft will be held there on April 23rd-25th.
Well according to KTNV in Las Vegas, even though the draft is a year out, the ticket prices are through the roof. They are around 250 dollars per night on average right now. You better hurry up and book your hotel before it is 500 a night or sold out.
Two strip hotels, the Flamingo and the Excalibur, are nearly three times more expensive according to rates advertised on Expedia – up from $94 a night to $299 at the Flamingo and from $88 to $279 at the Excalibur.
The Rio, which is off the Strip, has also raised prices during those days going from $93 to $289 and the Circus Circus jumps from $89 to $232.
I cannot wait until Las Vegas has an NFL team. The NFL is about to make some major money in the coming years.
