LAS VEGAS -- NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, speaking at a Las Vegas Super Bowl LVIII Host Committee brunch Tuesday, said the Gambling Mecca's image shift over the past few years helped the city land the league's championship game.
Goodell also touched on other topics such as the game's global appeal in a 25-minute sitdown with Las Vegas Raiders President Sandra Douglass Morgan in an event that also included appearances by other professional sports executives from the UFC, the NHL's Golden Knights, the WNBA's Aces, Formula 1 and the NBA.
"You really have become Sports Town USA," Goodell told the gathering, which included scores of Las Vegas business people.
