Usher has fans dancing at Caesars
Usher and his many supporting acts were a hit for the crowd outside Caesars Palace, turning the Green Fairy Garden into a dance floor.
Football fans of all ages were watching the outdoor televisions like moths to a flame, jumping and cheering as the artist went through his greatest hits.

New Niner fan activity: razzing Swift

‘I feel like I’m dying’
San Francisco 49ers fan Alejandro Hamdan traveled from Torreón, Mexico, to watch the Super Bowl at Joey’s Tavern. He said it had been a good experience, but with the game tied at 16 late in the 4th quarter, it was getting stressful.
“I feel like I’m dying, but I hope we can win,” Hamdan said shortly after Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker tied the game. — Sean Hemmersmeier
