Former Vegas Mayor Unlikely to Attend Super Bowl
Former Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman, known for representing gangsters, now cheerleads and welcomes sports leagues into Sin City after Supreme Court lift on sports wagering ban. Efforts to attract games during his term were opposed by the leagues but succeeded after he left office. He firmly believes that gambling benefits sports by boosting fan interest and has bet on anything that moves, even cockroaches. He claims that sports teams in Las Vegas uplift the city’s status and create excitement. The Supreme Court overturned the federal law banning sports wagering outside Nevada so the NFL now calls Las Vegas home, hosting a range of sporting events including the Super Bowl LVIII while Goodman prefers to watch from his living room, drink in hand.
