Superbowl Weekend in Las Vegas

It’s been a slow week here in Las Vegas, but that’s all about to change drastically as the planes start lining up on approach to McCarran International Airport. That’s right – it’s Superbowl XLI right here in Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada! Okay, I realize all the running and running into each other… the grunting and the drama will take place down in South Florida at Dolphins Stadium… Wait a minute… what am I saying??? Las Vegas will arguably be home to more drama, grunting, collisions, yelling, and, yes, probably crying, than they could possibly hope for on location at the Superbowl proper. Sure, they have bookies down there. Sure, they even have some Indian reservation casinos in Florida. At the kickoff, though, there won’t be anywhere near the amount of money on the line anywhere in the country than right here at home in Vegas. And where there is money on a sporting event, there shall be exclamations of joy and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Personally, I don’t even bet on sports. Sports aren’t my thing. I’ll bet on just about else I think I have an edge on, but sports? Nah… But since I have so many friends into football and in the spirit of some social excitement and keeping it all interesting (because the commercials are the only real reason I watch what I refer to as “SuperBall,”) I’ll put some money on it. Anyone have $.02 to add on what team should get my $100 worth of support?
