Report: NFL Implements Significant Measures to Ensure 49ers and Chiefs Players Avoid Las Vegas Strip During Super Bowl

During the regular NFL season, players are generally permitted to engage in gambling activities on subjects unrelated to the NFL. However, this standard will not apply to the Chiefs and 49ers when they arrive in Las Vegas for Super Bowl LVIII. Despite being a rematch of Super Bowl LIV, the context will be significantly altered.

Both franchises will actively avoid the renowned Las Vegas Strip, a precaution taken by the league to prevent any potential issues arising from players being involved in gambling activities.

In response to these concerns, the NFL has updated its gambling policy for Super Bowl participants, imposing a comprehensive ban on all forms of gambling.

To enforce this restriction, the two teams will be lodged in separate hotels located more than 15 miles away from the Las Vegas Strip.

It's important to note that while these stringent gambling regulations apply to the Super Bowl teams, they do not extend to other NFL players who are not participating in the game. Any player not involved in the Super Bowl who chooses to visit Las Vegas during Super Bowl week is free to engage in gambling activities, with two exceptions:

1. They are prohibited from placing bets on NFL-related events.
2. They are not permitted to enter sportsbooks unless they are merely passing through on their way to another destination.
