The Super Bowl could bring a lot of action for retailers as well in Nevada.
The Retail Association of Nevada estimated that 1.7 million Nevadans will tune in to watch the “big game” on Sunday.
But to prepare, the association estimates that Nevadans will spend nearly $140 million on food, TVs, decorations and apparel and other items, the retail association noted in a news release. The Retail Association of Nevada cited a survey by the National Retail Federation for the estimate.
“Super Bowl Sunday is the perfect storm of entertainment, family time and retail sales,” said Bryan Wachter, senior vice president of the Retail Association of Nevada. “Nevada retailers are stocked with plenty of food, drinks and gear to make this year’s Super Bowl one to remember.”
The National Retail Federation’s survey contained estimates showing that 182.5 million Americans plan to tune into the big game on Sunday.
Overall, viewers plan to spend an average of $81.30 on items that will enhance their experience watching the game. That’s up 0.2 percent from 2018’s $81.17 average.
Viewers in the West are expected to have the second highest average spending for the Super Bowl at $84.01 per person. The West is followed by the South ($79.09) and the Midwest ($69.24). Consumers in the Northeast are the biggest spenders with an average spend of $94.89 per person.
For fans looking to pick up some team gear, the Winery Super Mart at 2301 Winery Road had a selection of clothing and other items.
Wagering on the Super Bowl is also expected to be higher this year.
“According to the Nevada Gaming Control Board, gross wagering on the Super Bowl totaled $158.6 million in 2018,” the Retail Association stated in a news release. “In addition to traditional retail spending forecasts, RAN projects gross wagering to top $160.7 million this year in Nevada.”
