As game day draws closer for Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, more fans are pouring into Las Vegas. Many are there to go to the game and many are there just to be part of the festivities.
On Thursday, fans packed the Super Bowl Experience exhibit. The exhibit is sort of like a Super Bowl theme park with pieces of historic memorabilia and interactive displays and games.
The Kansas City Chiefs got a taste of Vegas Thursday when several of the players who were sitting at tables waiting to talk to members of the media were dazzled with card tricks being performed by a magician.
Fans could be seen taking in lights of Las Vegas Thursday night where it was hard to miss that Super Bowl LVIII was in town.
Here are photos of Super Bowl activity in Las Vegas on Thursday
