The upcoming Super Bowl LVIII matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers will be played in Las Vegas, but it sounds like the NFL is doing what it can to keep the players focused on football leading up to the game.
According to a report from Arash Markazi of Sporting Trib, both teams will be staying at hotels located at Lake Las Vegas, which is about 25 minutes away from The Strip in Las Vegas.
“Yes, the Super Bowl will be played in Las Vegas but the NFL wants the teams to stay away from The Strip. The Kansas City Chiefs will stay at Westin Lake Las Vegas, and the San Francisco 49ers will be located at Hilton Lake Las Vegas. Lake Las Vegas is 25 miles off The Strip,” Markazi wrote in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.
Obviously, The Strip is home to Las Vegas’ casinos and other things that might cause a distraction to some players in the lead-up to the Super Bowl. So it sounds like the NFL wants to keep the players away from The Strip in a much quieter atmosphere before the game.
