Find Super Bowl XLII Parties in Las Vegas
By now it’s probably safe to say that everyone knows corporations are avoiding using the words “Super Bowl” when advertising any kind of get-together involving the Super Bowl, especially parties for “The Big Game.”
Incidentally, the NFL and Las Vegas had a pretty good relationship regarding the Super Bowl up until a few years ago:
Over the years, the casinos developed their own tradition of VIP Super Bowl parties, making Las Vegas the destination of choice for many football fans to enjoy the game. Much has already been written linking the success of the SUPER BOWL to the excitement given the game by Las Vegas. This link may explain why, until fairly recently, the NFL was not as aggressive in policing its rights in Las Vegas as the rest of the country.
This symbiotic relationship was challenged in 2004, when the NFL sent a cease and desist letter - possibly by accident - to the movie theater operating at The Palms hotel casino, objecting to the airing of the game on a movie screen for a premium charge. Deliberate or not, in its wake the NFL had no choice but to aggressively police its rights in Las Vegas, including protesting the use of large screen TVs at VIP parties and in the casinos sports book or risk waiving its rights or creating an implied license.
Under Section 110 of the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §110(5)(B)(i)(II), a casino could only broadcast the SUPER BOWL on a single television not larger than 55 inches. Of course, this rule would shut down the Vegas SUPER BOWL party because only a fraction of the hundreds of attendees could watch the game. The NFL also issued blanket refusals to any casino seeking to license the rights to show the game no matter the fee offered. However, once again showing brilliant stewardship of its rights, the NFL announced informally to the casino industry in early 2005 it would not enforce Sec. 110 to its fullest extent, but would allow casinos to show the SUPER BOWL in their Sports Book areas and on an unlimited number of televisions throughout the casino provided they were no larger than 55 inches and were used in those locations all year for viewing other sporting events.
So, with the help of my husband, I’ve rounded up some BIG GAME parties around the Las Vegas valley. I hope it helps and whatever your plans are, be safe!
