Las Vegas sells out of private-jet parking for the Super Bowl — but don’t worry about Taylor Swift
NY Post ^ | 1/29/24 | Michael Kaplan

Getting into the Super Bowl is one thing. Landing your private jet in Las Vegas?

It’s the kind of long shot that no bookie would give you odds on.

The city is officially fully booked for private jets over Super Bowl weekend — with San Francisco tech billionaires among those scrambling to beat the lock-out after the 49ers qualified Sunday night to take on the Kansas City Chiefs.

Slots at Harry Reid Airport in the city for Sunday night take-offs, to let attendees get home after the match have gone.

Now one percenters are freaking out.

“A colleague of mine owns a hedge fund in New York, he got tickets for the game and presumably spent a lot of money for them,” a private jet insider, who works in the business, told The Post. “I was going to Vegas with him.”

But there was a wrinkle: “They couldn’t find a slot and getting out on Sunday night felt risky. It’s not worth going if you can’t get home when you want to. They decided to leave the jet be and watch the game in New York.”

**SNIP**

The NFL also has some of the slots reserved for teams and owners, a spokesman said.

And there is one expected Super Bowl guest who does not need to worry about a slot: Taylor Swift.

Swift is playing in Tokyo Saturday night, but can make use of Japan being 17 hours ahead of Las Vegas to fly from there and land comfortably in time to cheer on her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

“Taylor Swift will definitely have a spot through the NFL to land, but not necessarily a place to park,” Michael Giordano, a partner at Cirrus Aviation Services, told The Post.

Looks like Nellis has lots of empty parking spaces.

Yes. My private jet is rented out as is my condo in Tahoe.
Really, I will be cooking brats and listening on the radio.

Have no fear. I’m for a 49ers win, therefore KC will win.

It has become Wrestlemania with an inverted hero and heroine. Used to be Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth.

There was a time when I told myself the 49ers would not be attending any more Super Bowls without me. That time was January of 1995, and I got to see Steve Young throw 6 TDs that day against the Chargers. I haven't seen the 49ers in a Super Bowl since, which is just as well, since Kaepernick and Garoppolo aren't Montana and Young.

Sadly, I don't believe they'll be able to beat the Chiefs this time, either.

The Macho Man! Ooooh yeah!

Whether it was cocaine or insanity or both, he was one of the best wrestling interviews ever.

Yeah, I heard about that. Scripted and choreographed.

"Slots at Harry Reid Airport..."

I will always call it the Pat McCarran Airport. Sen. Pat McCarran (D-Nev.) was one of the towering patriots of the last century.

They can call the White House and ask for landing permission at Ellis Air Force Base... or use North Las Vegas airport.

TS is going to fly private jet from Japan to Vegas in time for the SB to see her boy TK. I wonder how many tons of pollution she’ll toss into the air and will our overlords care? Will Greta chime in?? Such a steaming pile of hypocrisy.

You know there is credibility to the “Taylor Swift” conspiracy when MSNBC says there isn’t ....

Although I have never been there, I will never call it Harry Reid.

McCarren sounds better anyway.

At least I don’t care about stupor bowl or Taylor Swift.

I wonder if AI came up with this creepy “romance”, just like the nudies.

I would suggest that you take a parking spot for your jet at Area 51 and then take the Commuter Flight to Vegas.

Yes, this is my most important worry. I’ve seen several threads get deleted over the years here, but sure, keep this one.

Alot of people buy these tickets under a corporation’s name so they can write it off as an entertainment expense for their business.
