363 Days And Counting! Las Vegas On Deck To Host Super Bowl LVIII

Super Bowl LVIII Ball
Las Vegas Super Bowl LVIII Host Committee

With a final whistle ending Sunday's Super Bowl festivities, the starting whistle for Las Vegas. Our city is the next destination for the biggest game in American sports!

A press conference was held today with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority President Steve Hill, Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo and other dignitaries. At the event, the proverbial (and literal) ball was handed off to Las Vegas by Phoenix, who held Sunday's Super Bowl festivities.

Beckoning NFL Draft terminology for being next up, Roger Goodell pronounced that Las Vegas is "now on the clock". Only 363 days until kick-off at Allegiant Stadium on February 11th, 2024.

LVCVA's Steve Hill said it pretty plainly - the city has been preparing for this event for 60 years. Las Vegas is known for spectacle and while an event the size and scope of the Super Bowl might be a big undertaking for most, Las Vegas seems more than up for the challenge.

The new Super Bowl LVIII logo was unveiled, making the event's inevitable stop to the valley even more real. The logo features a slight move of the standard logo. For the last several years, the Lombardi Trophy was between the "L" and following roman numerals. Now the trophy takes center stage, putting "LV" to the left (in what we take as an homage to Vegas). The III slides to the right, with the I's sporting the silhouette of the world famous "Welcome To Las Vegas" sign.

Considering this is Las Vegas, things were done "bigger" than ever, with a 1,200 pound behemoth of a replica NFL football sporting the new logo.

We are less than a year away from the "Big Game," and you can bet Las Vegas will be ready.

2023 Super Bowl: 10 Best Commercials from Funny to Heartwarming

With Super Bowl LVII officially in the rearview, let's dig into one of the biggest attractions of the game: the commercials!

As with previous years, millions of dollars were spent by many brands in an effort to make a lasting impression on those watching. Of course, by "those watching," we mean the millions of people tuning in around the world. Many major brands bought ad time this year but so did some surprising brands, too. (Fun fact: AdAge reports a 30-second spot during this year's Super Bowl costs around $7 million. Many of the ads were 60 and 90 seconds, so that's quite the expense.)

In 2023, the "Big Game" ads were strong. They featured plenty of celebrities, laughs and even some tender moments. Now that we've seen all the spots, here are the ten ads we thought were the best Super Bowl commercials this year. Let the debating begin!

Amazon

This Amazon ad about a loved, but lonely family dog certainly tugged at the heartstrings. The ad is titled "Saving Sawyer," which is also the name of the dog that stars in this ad. Per Amazon, Sawyer used to be a stray dog. He landed in a shelter and was rescued by his owner five years ago,  And now he's the star of a major Super Bowl ad! What a story!

Bud Light

This Bud Light ad starring Miles Teller was super cute and has probably given plenty of people a few ideas on how to pass the time while on hold.

Busch

This ad for Busch Beer featured a surprise cameo from Sarah McLachlan spoofing her gutwrenching ASPCA ads. Even though McLachlan's work on behalf of animals is incredibly noble, you have to give her credit for having a sense of humor.

Disney

With Disney celebrating its 100th anniversary, the company bought a 90-second spot honoring its rich legacy of storytelling that has been passed through the generations. We're positive everyone watching the Super Bowl has fond memories of many of the film's highlighted in the ad.

Dunkin'

We all know Ben Affleck loves Dunkin', but working the drive-thru is fandom on a whole other level. Of course, wife Jennifer Lopez doesn't seem too happy about her husband's side-hustle. However, that's not stopping Jenny from wanting a glazed donut.

The Farmer's Dog

Yet another beautiful Super Bowl ad starring a dog! This time around, pet food subscription brand The Farmer's Dog showed the beautiful story of a woman and her dog. We see the two as a child and a puppy all the way through to the woman becoming a mother. It's okay if some dust got in your eyes while watching this one.

Rakuten

Shopping app Rakuten hit us right in the nostalgia with their 60-second spot starring Alicia Silverstone and Elisa Donovan reprising their roles of Cher and Amber from the classic teen comedy Clueless. If you didn't love this ad, we have just one word for you: Whatever!

T-Mobile (Bradley Cooper and His Mom)

Sure, there was likely some sort of script for this T-Mobile ad, but it just feels like Bradley Cooper and his mom, Gloria, were allowed to riff and adlib. They looked like they were having the most fun together, which was really sweet.

T-Mobile (New year. New neighbor.)

T-Mobile had two outstanding ads during the Super Bowl! The second one that aired starred John Travolta, Zach Braff and Donald Faison singing about T-Mobile's Home Internet service to the tune of "Summer Nights" from Grease. (Side note: Travolta is 68 and still looks incredible!)

Workday

Some of the biggest rock stars in the world have had it with the corporate world using the term "rock star," and they are putting their collective foot down. Seriously, who really wants to upset the likes of Paul Stanley, Ozzy Osbourne, Joan Jett, Gary Clark Jr. and Billy Idol? We certainly don't!

Here’s What You Missed On Aimee+Shawn This Week

What a week! Aimee+Shawn kicked off on Monday with Aimee going under the needle. She got a Beyoncé-inspired tattoo by @ink_andiron to give herself good luck. Would it work?

Shawn... he used to be carefree. He used to take it easy. But now he's rapidly entering middle-aged and picking fights with garage door opener companies. It's sad to see how quickly he's fallen.

Anyone with kids knows the aspirations we have to give our kids the best. Aimee wanted to get her son Jayden a meet and greet with NFL icons, and get pictures with them. She ended up doing just that, but not before going undercover as a member of the press to circumvent all the rules.

You ever get to a stop sign at the same time as someone else, and you do the "acceleration shuffle"? One car goes, then stops. The other car does it too. No one ends up going despite someone definitely having the right of way? Shawn dealt with it and all of a sudden it was a stand-off during the school commute.

Speaking of stand-offs, Shawn got to bare witness to the biggest hissy fit by someone angry about his enchilada order at Roberto's Taco Shop and he gives the play-by-play on the silliest reason to get uppity, ever.

Aimee's starting to realize her oldest is keeping his digital distance away from her... is she taking it personally? Meanwhile, Shawn recalls the one time he did something physical and truly embarrassed his wife.

Finally... there are some stark differences between men and women... and this difference is almost universal. Aimee+Shawn dove into the difference between wanting to talk about problems and wanting to fix them.

What's coming up on Aimee+Shawn?

Starting on Monday, February 13th and all week long, win your way in to see Duran Duran at 7:40am... plus score Jonas Brothers passes in the 8am and 9am hours! Talk to you then!
