Key Takeaways

As fans eagerly await the match-up between Kansas City and San Francisco, local Airbnb Hosts are ready to welcome guests from around the world for the Big Game. In fact, Las Vegas ranks among the top three most searched cities in the US the week of the Big Game1. Searches for listings in the greater Las Vegas area for the week are up by more than 65 percent, indicating that the event will likely yield a significant boost for those with space to share, as well as local small businesses2.

Since our founding, Airbnb has helped cities accommodate the influx of visitors around big events, helping create economic opportunity for Hosts and local small businesses. For example, during the week of the Big Game last year, local Hosts in the greater Phoenix metro area collectively earned over $27 million from welcoming guests who have checked into an Airbnb more than 45,000 times3. Hosts and guests helped contribute to an estimated $1.3 billion in economic activity for Arizona’s economy.
