Preparing the city of Las Vegas for Super Bowl Weekend is a logistics problem of epic proportions. Beer trucks arriving by the hour. Hot dogs by the train car load filling hotel refers to the rafters. Tanker trucks full of Red Bull headed down the Interstates leading to Vegas. Dips for chips stacked in fifty gallon drums. Parties are planned for all of the Sports Books located in the Las Vegas Strip Resorts, and all the big neighborhood casinos will be packed with cheering fans. Just like every other city in America, all of the Las Vegas team bars, sports bars, and neighbor pubs will be at capacity, crowded with screaming football fans. Poker rooms will be crowded with players for the entire weekend because a high percentage of football fans play poker, especially the fans that bet on the game, so you can depend on having full games. Super Bowl Sunday is one big Vegas party so come on down. Vegas is a really great place to watch and bet Super Bowl XL. Come to Vegas for the game. Come early for the poker. Cash games and tournaments will be crowded with players throughout the weekend.


I noticed that Professional Poker Player Phil Hellmuth (http://www.pokerplayernewspaper.com/tournamentresultsplayer?f=phil&SelectLists%5B1%5D2=YES&l=hellmuth&FormCode2=6b9b29159a7058bb2f80fde57cb9d21f&submit2=Search) and famously rich Paris Hilton are going to be neighbors at the Las Vegas W Hotels (http://www.starwoodhotels.com/whotels/index.html), a project scheduled for completion in 2009. Phil won a condo in the W Hotels sponsored poker tournament held at the Sundance Film Festival and decided to upgrade to a penthouse making him neighbors with Paris, who has reserved a penthouse at W Hotels Las Vegas Residences. They are the same people that own the Aladdin and Starwoods.
