Allegiant Stadium is set to host the spectacle again, which is scheduled for Saturday, February 28 (Sunday, March 1 in Australia). 

The NRL will facilitate four charter flights for the event, which will travel directly from Sydney, Newcastle and Townsville to Las Vegas.

"Las Vegas has become a bucket list item for not only NRL and Super League fans but for fans of world-class sport and entertainment," NRL CEO Andrew Abdo said.

"We’ve worked with our partners to create affordable travel packages for fans who want to take advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime trip with family and friends.

"We’ve given supporters the opportunity to plan early and take advantage of special offers.

"Thank you to our Clubs and all our partners, including the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, Allegiant Stadium and our broadcast partners, who have worked closely with us to create a truly unique event that launches the NRL season in unmatched style."
