Las Vegas is expected to count $1.8 billion in US currency today as Superbowl LVIII kicks off.

Finance expert Evan Lucas told Millsy and Karl it’s not a surprise the money behind the most watched event in the world has once again skyrocketed.

“The really interesting thing is taxation: they’re expected to be making $17.8 million per hour, and then $82 million in tax revenue alone,” Mr Lucas said.
