Kansas City Chiefs fans seem way more amped up for Super Bowl LVIII than their San Francisco 49ers counterparts … at least in terms of interest in short-term rentals in Las Vegas.
The good folks over at Airbnb tell TMZ … searches for rental listings in the Las Vegas region are up by more than 65% for the week of the Super Bowl, and most of the potential renters are flocking in from K.C.
Airbnb says Chiefs fans were in a frenzy looking up places to stay in Vegas after Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce beat the Baltimore Ravens to secure a spot on SB LVIII … the day after the AFC and NFC Championship Games, total Airbnb searches were 3x higher from K.C. than SF.

The numbers make ya wonder if there’s a Taylor Swift effect at play here … the Chiefs are playing in the Super Bowl for the 4th time in the last 5 years, so it’s nothing new to them and their fans, and Taylor’s bringing in new fans and tons of extra interest.
No matter which team’s fans are booking short-term rentals, Las Vegas looks like the big winner here … Airbnb says the rental interest is bringing big economic potential to the region.
We’ll have to wait and see who wins on the field Sunday … but Chiefs fans are winning the Airbnb battle.
