NFL-Vegas spectacle launches Super Bowl week, with Taylor Swift on everyone's lips
Super Bowl week opened on Monday night with a sensory-overload spectacle at the Las Vegas Allegiant Stadium, and a sprinkling of Taylor Swift. Bellowing announcers, thumping music, dancers, drummers and painted men flooded the in-field while more than 23,000 paying fans filled the stands of the arena, waving flags and placards while howling at the master of ceremonies and jeering the Kansas City Chiefs. Never known for understatement, Vegas certainly put on a show to kick-start the city’s first Super Bowl.
