Maxim’s 2024 Big Game Experience, presented by Vivid Seats and produced by unKommon Events, proved to be the hottest ticket in Las Vegas ahead of Super Bowl LVIII.

The night before the Kansas City Chiefs became back-to-back NFL champs with a thrilling overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium, the Maxim Casino Royale Experience took over nearby Resorts World Las Vegas with a star-studded bash featuring a headlining set from hip-hop superstar 21 Savage, who performed smash hits “Spin Bout U,” “Creepin’” and “Rich Flex.”
