The excitement of an epic Super Bowl appears to have gone to some fans’ heads after a huge brawl erupted in a Las Vegas casino.
Shocking footage caught four men fighting it out post-match on an unidentified casino floor. The 10-second clip showed a mix of Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers fans pushing and shoving each other as onlookers are heard shouting for them to stop.
At one moment during the heated skirmish, a man is holding another man in a headlock before being smacked hard in the face. The video was posted on X (formerly Twitter) soon after Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers with a tight scoreline of 25-22 at the Allegiant Stadium.
The post by LasVegasLocally, which was accompanied by the words ‘Niners fans are already fighting in the casinos’, was viewed more than 400,000 times as social media users reacted to the scuffle. One person replied: “Get it out now so it doesn’t happen on the Spirit Airlines flight home,” while another added: “That was a tough loss I would be upset to lol.”
Others described the men as “thugs” and one added: “Nothing more pathetic than grown men fighting over a sport they can’t even play.” One person joked about what it was they were actually doing and said: “It looks more like they’re trying to have sex…”

The 58th Super Bowl saw the Chiefs came back from a 10-point deficit to defeat the San Francisco 49ers, securing the title for the second year in a row. An emotional Taylor Swift was spotted in the crowd as her Chiefs boyfriend Travis Kelce celebrated with the superstar straight after the victory.
As he pulled her in for a kiss, Taylor was seen beaming with pride and holding back tears. The pair shared a long embrace, with Taylor’s arms wrapped around her football star partner. America’s current sweetheart couple made their grand display on the field as all eyes have been on them this season.

The past 24 hours for the pair has been a whirlwind as Taylor had to race the clock to make it to Las Vegas from her sold out Tokyo stadium shows. After a close game and overtime play, the Kansas City team found themselves victorious with a walk off touchdown. Immediately, Taylor was toted from an exclusive suite – which Travis is believed to have spent $1million (£790,000) on – to the field where she was able to celebrate with her new friends and victorious boyfriend.
