Of all the pop culture to come out of Las Vegas, very little of it has been flattering. From Nicky Santoro killing a guy with a ballpoint pen to Clark gambling away the Griswald family savings, and the Sin City graphic novels in between, it’s very difficult to overlook the city’s unsavory history — unless…
This is going to be the biggest Super Bowl for gambling in recent memory.

The best 2024 could give us for Super Bowl LVIII is a rerun.
