LAS VEGAS, NV – The long-awaited anticipation is finally over as Pro Bowl Week has officially arrived in the NFL's newest market.

After a one-year delay due to the coronavirus pandemic causing the cancellation of last year's all-star game and the festivities that come with it, thousands of football fans rejoiced in the desert oasis.

Tickets are available now on ProBowl.com and will allow fans special benefits on gameday including access to the Pro Bowl Red Carpet and other family friendly activities. While the first week of February always seems to cause a frenzy amongst football fans and even the most casual sports viewers in Las Vegas, this year's festivities added another element to the mix. It is a precursor to 2024 when Super Bowl LVIII will arrive in Las Vegas. New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara breaks off a run at practice.

If the buzz around the city is any indication it is that premier football events are here to stay in Las Vegas.
