🚗 Las Vegas Drivers Face Soaring Auto Insurance Rates into 2024
Las Vegas drivers are experiencing a significant increase in auto insurance premiums, a trend that experts predict will continue into 2024. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, as inflation surged and road traffic increased, Nevada's auto insurance rates have soared, now ranking as the second highest in the U.S. A report from Insurify notes the average annual cost of full coverage in Nevada is $2,975, with a 36% increase observed in the first half of last year.
Michael DeLong from the Consumer Federation of America acknowledges this rise in premiums as a nationwide trend. Insurify projects a further 7% increase in U.S. auto insurance rates in 2024.
Gennady Stolyarov of the Nevada Division of Insurance mentioned that insurance providers have requested rate increases ranging from 5 to 25 percent. The Division, which reviews these requests for prudence, has recently approved rate increases from 5 to 15 percent. Notably, the frequency of rate increase requests has escalated, with companies now filing multiple requests annually.
Factors contributing to these rising costs include an increase in accidents, higher vehicle and repair costs, and an uptick in drivers on the road. Additionally, insurance companies are experiencing tightened profits, leading to a "hard market" with fewer providers.
Scott Menath, president of the Nevada Independent Insurance Agents trade association, expects rate increases to stabilize by late 2024, with a slowdown in the number of rate increase requests projected for 2025.
For consumers looking to save on auto insurance, experts recommend checking policy extras, comparing quotes, exploring discounts, and filing complaints with the Division of Insurance in case of unfair practices.

🏈💲 Super Bowl 58 Sees Million-Dollar Bet on 49ers at Caesars Sportsbook
A record-breaking bet of $1 million was placed on the San Francisco 49ers by a bettor from Michigan at Caesars Sportsbook. This wager, made on the 49ers to win against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 58, offers a potential profit of $833,333.33. The game, which will be held at Allegiant Stadium, sees the 49ers as slight favorites.
In addition to this significant bet, Caesars received a $200,000 wager on 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy to win the Super Bowl MVP award, with potential winnings of $480,000. Another noteworthy bet of $100,000 was made on the coin toss, specifically for it to land on tails.
Craig Mucklow, Caesars vice president of trading, highlighted the unique nature of the coin toss bet. The odds for the coin toss are evenly split between heads and tails.
The 49ers currently stand as 1½-point favorites, with the total consensus at 47½ points. Their money line odds are -125, while the Chiefs are at +105. Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes is the frontrunner for the Super Bowl MVP at +130, with Purdy closely following as the second choice.
🏈 Chiefs vs. 49ers: A Battle for Legacy in Super Bowl Showdown on February 11, 2024
The Kansas City Chiefs are making a remarkable sixth Super Bowl appearance, including an impressive fourth in the past five seasons. This puts them in the conversation for being a modern NFL dynasty, akin to some of the most successful teams in league history. The San Francisco 49ers, on the other hand, are heading to their eighth Super Bowl, seeking to capture their first championship since 1994 and reestablish their legacy in NFL history.
This upcoming Super Bowl is a rematch of the 2019 season's Super Bowl LIV, which the Chiefs won. It presents an opportunity for both teams to cement their status in NFL immortality. The Chiefs have a rare chance to win back-to-back Super Bowls, a feat last accomplished by the 2003-04 New England Patriots.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes becomes the youngest quarterback to start his fourth Super Bowl. Coach Andy Reid is preparing for his fifth Super Bowl appearance, ranking behind only Bill Belichick and Don Shula in this regard. The 49ers have been to the NFL Championship Game multiple times since 2011 but have yet to secure a Super Bowl title during this period. This game presents a chance to end their nearly three-decade championship drought.
For 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, winning his first Super Bowl would be a monumental step in his career, echoing the past successes of legendary 49ers quarterbacks like Steve Young.
🏈✈ Super Bowl 58 Spurs Additional Flights at Las Vegas Airport
In anticipation of the Super Bowl crowds, at least two airlines at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas are expanding their flight schedules. Southwest Airlines and American Airlines are adding commercial flights to and from Las Vegas around the Super Bowl weekend.
Southwest Airlines, the leading airline at Reid, is scheduling extra flights on February 9-10 and February 12. These include 11 additional flights from Kansas City, San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose before the game, and seven more on the Monday following the Super Bowl. Specifically, Southwest will have increased flights from Kansas City International Airport, with seven nonstop options on Friday and four on Saturday, and eight additional flights on Monday.
American Airlines is also joining in, with special flights that humorously reference Kansas City Chiefs jersey numbers and Taylor Swift's birth year, 1989. Uniquely, American Airlines doesn't typically serve Las Vegas from Kansas City or the major Bay area airports. Flight 1989 will run twice from Kansas City to Las Vegas on February 9 and 10. Post-game, Flight 87, representing Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s jersey number, will leave Las Vegas for Kansas City.
Depending on the aircraft used, these additional Southwest flights could provide up to 1,870 extra seats to the market. The American Airlines flights include multiple Flight 15 services (quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ jersey number) and a Flight 1521, combining the numbers of Mahomes and safety Mike Edwards.
These expanded services highlight the airport's role in accommodating major events and the airlines' adaptability in catering to the surge in travel demand.
