Nevada casinos can actually lose money :) For the second time since the state started reporting Super Bowl figures in 1992, Nevada sports books posted a net loss on their biggest single betting day of the year. Nevada casinos lost $2.6 million on Sundays Super Bowl matchup between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants. The game generated $92.1 million in wagers. (In 1995, casinos lost $400,000 on the Chargers-49ers game.) Whats more surprising is that only $92.1 million was wagered on Sundays game, falling short of last years $93.1 million in wagers and short of the hoped-for record of $100 million. But dont feel too sorry for the Strip. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority estimated that Las Vegas visitors spent some $116.3 million on everything besides gambling over Super Bowl weekend - up from $110.7 million a year ago (beers, chicken wings and shopping sprees). The real money is in online sports betting!!
