Las vegas is not short on glitz and glamour. That includes the practice ground for the city’s NFL franchise, the Raiders, who have a $183 million, state-of-the-art facility dedicated to all things football in nearby Henderson.

Now, the permanent home of the Raiders will turn into the temporary home of Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes and co. ahead of Super Bowl LVIII.
The Chiefs are 4-0 against the Raiders in Las Vegas, meaning the team has never lost in Sin City. The 49ers won their only previous game in Las Vegas against the Raiders last year.
The Raiders facility was opened in 2021 after one season for the franchise in Sin City.
After moving from Oakland in February 2020, the Raiders had the facility open without restrictions for the beginning of the 2021 season following the height of the coronavirus pandemic.
During the team’s first season with the facility open, the Raiders made the playoffs, losing in the Wild Card Round to the eventual-Super Bowl runners-up, the Cincinnati Bengals.
Las Vegas struggled in 2022, but looked to turn a corner at the end of the 2023 season after firing head coach Josh McDaniels and handing the team over to then-interim coach Antonio Pierce.
