The best Super Bowl parties always involve good friends, great food and drinks, and some entertainment outside of the game itself.
In the center of the Hollywood film and entertainment industry, we know better than most that adding a celebrity to the mix can take a Super Bowl party to the next level. That’s why dozens of sponsored celebrity Super Bowl parties surround the big game every year.
Super Bowl 58 is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 11, 2024, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. It’s the first Super Bowl in Sin City, a legendary party town just a few hours’ drive or a short flight from Los Angeles. That’s why California’s best Super Bowl parties, including many sponsored celebrity Super Bowl celebrations, will go off up Interstate 15 in Vegas next year.
Here’s a look at the most dazzling, upscale, unique, and crazy celebrity Super Bowl parties already planned for Super Bowl LVIII this February.
What are the basics of a great Super Bowl party?
Can’t make it to Vegas? Host one of California’s best Super Bowl parties yourself by including the following elements we all know make for the best Super Bowl parties:
Good friends: Invite your best friends and family, too. A great mix of interesting characters you know and love will mean a fun atmosphere at your Super Bowl party, even if the game is a dud.
Great food and drinks: Make some tailgating classics, or order them in. Try putting together a themed menu beyond football favorites.
You can offer guests the most popular cocktails from the cities or states the two Super Bowl teams call home. If the Miami Dolphins are in the game, serve mojitos. Try clover club cocktails if the Philadelphia Eagles are back in the Super Bowl, or Kansas City Ice Water if the Chiefs return.
Some entertainment: You need something more than the game to entertain people and turn your basic Super Bowl watch party into one of California’s best Super Bowl parties. Traditional Super Bowl betting games are your best bet.
Start a Super Bowl squares game by creating a 10-by-10 grid on poster board. Sell the squares to your guests for a buck or two, and after they gobble them up, draw numbers for each space on the top of the grid and down the side. Randomly pick teams for the top and side, and the squares will correlate with the last digit of each team’s score. Give away pieces of the prize pool for matching the scores at the end of the first quarter, first half, third quarter, and the final score.
You can also try a Super Bowl props pool, putting together a list of the most popular and enticing Super Bowl props and getting everyone to fill out a sheet with their picks.

Shaq’s Fun House Super Bowl Party Presented by NetSpend; Friday, Feb. 9, 2024
Shaq’s annual Super Bowl party is part carnival, part concert. There’s a carnival midway, and the biggest names in hip-hop and EDM perform alongside circus performers. Previous lineups have included Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, and DJ Diesel (AKA Shaq himself.)
- Hosts: Basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal and sponsor NetSpend
- Cost: $250-$1,800
