My Las Vegas Super Bowl 58 experience at Circa’s Stadium Swim

I will never pay that much money to STAND for 8 hours again

Pre-Gaming the day before Super Bowl 58 at Hotel Circa’s Stadium Swim for the BIG GAME viewing party. Special thanks to Ian Ritchie of FullTimeFantasy from Bainbridge, WA for the invite.

MONEY TALKS

Today is Monday. The day after Super Bowl Sunday. It’s a catch-up day in the lab for me. After running around “Sin City” all weekend both my feet and my pockets hurt. Why? Everything that glitters is not always GOLD. Right Niners fans? Intelligence matters.

My SUPPORTERS and I chose Hotel Circa’s Stadium Swim to connect the Built Different Group’s NETWORK for the BIG GAME. Opening its doors in 2020, Circa is the newest hotel and casino to hit downtown Las Vegas.

It was built from the ground up where the former Las Vegas Club stood, on the west end of Fremont Street Experience. Its modern design and look inside and out appear to be setting a remodeling trend off the Strip.

Viewing parties across the nation raked in on the BIG GAME. When it comes to Super Bowl 59 next February save your money. We both could’ve stood 8 hours to watch the game for ridiculously less on Fremont Street Experience itself. Most likely a smaller screen too.

Three Sharks with Shades. There were very few Cowboys fans flying their colors like Park Ranger (M) from Visalia, CA, and RC, Star Gang President from AK. (R). Two 3rds of the Dallas Cowboys Pacific Coast Connection. When The Network became The Content.

FINE PRINT

My Stadium Swim experience provided 2 options to watch the BIG GAME. The Field and Club levels had about a $100 difference in pricing. My SUPPORTERS and I chose the Club level. After taxes, it was about $270 per person. $300 at the door the day of just walking up.

This included food and beverage. Pay attention to the fine print, please. Many fans assumed open bar for that price per person, wrong. You get 2 drink cards with your meal at Club-level pricing. I had 2 Cokes and a smile with my plate thanks to Park Ranger.

Field-level tickets didn’t include food as advertised, for $100 less. Didn’t matter. They walked up the steps into the Club level food line and fixed a plate or four. What’s on the menu? Finger foods. Chicken tenders and mini sliders. I didn't have HIGH expectations. Par for the course.

Not to mention there were no seats. Standing room-only vibes like AT&T Stadium. Well, you could pop a squat on the poolside like RC and his crew did. Provided there was available real estate. Other than the price and my feet it was an awesome experience. Continuing to build healthy relationships outside of the BIG GAME.

Ian Ritchie and I met in Olympia, WA back in 2015 during a Washington State Gaming Commission Brief at the State’s capital. Almost 9 years later we link back up at Stadium Swim in Las Vegas. His FullTimeFantasy platform works with veterans and their love for fantasy football every NFL season. Story developing.

GRAND TOTAL

I expected prices like UBER to rise for the weekend. In addition, I knew what I was getting into when it came to ‘Buying In” for big events like the BIG GAME Viewing Experience with Stadium Swim. It’s my birthday month after all. Happy Birthday to me.

I may complain more now as I’m getting older. This is no shade on Stadium Swim either. I’ve never met anyone who can STRIKE as fast as I. Park Ranger on the other hand does it for a living at Kings Canyon National Park He has swift feet.

Thanks to the ‘Great White” RC from AK for connecting me with Terry Billups. Former Dallas Cowboys CB who played behind PRIME TIME. He’s also connected to the NFLPA. Those conversations are now beginning with the BDG Network. Stay tuned.

It’s fun sharing intelligence with my most important asset. Smart Dallas Cowboys fans. I consider them family on the Facebook side now. New reader here? Follow me for more SB58 content this week on Medium. Stadium Swim owes me nothing. Congrats KC Chiefs fans. Bang Bang no Super Bowl Rang.
