LAS VEGAS — The NFL Pro bowl is set to return to Las Vegas in 2023 after the city successfully hosted the all-star event this year.
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority on Tuesday was set to approve the $1.75 million hosting fee tied to the Pro Bowl.
The exact date is still to be determined, but the LVCVA notes the game could be played on Feb. 5, 2023.
“Building on the incredible success of the 2022 Pro Bowl and 2022 Draft in Las Vegas, we are thrilled to bring the 2023 Pro Bowl back to the city for the second year and continue our partnership with the LVCVA and the Las Vegas Raiders,” an NFL spokesperson said in a statement. “Exciting Pro Bowl changes are ahead, and we look forward to sharing more details in the coming weeks.”
This year’s event at Allegiant Stadium proved successful, generating a $54.7 million economic impact and drawing nearly 30,000 fans from out of state, according to the LVCVA. Las Vegas was also set to host the 2021 Pro Bowl, but that was held virtually due to COVID-19 restrictions in place at the time.
There were 45,672 fan in attendance for this year’s Pro Bowl, according the Las Vegas Stadium Authority data.
