MOTA SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON “FALSE REPORT” OF SPONSORSHIP OF SUPER BOWL PREGAME PARTY

Baha Mar Resort was the host of the Super Bowl LIV pregame party held at the Versace Mansion on Friday, January 31.

NASSAU, Bahamas –  A report by NBC “claiming that a Super Bowl LIV pregame party held at the Versace Mansion on Friday January 31st was hosted by The Bahamas” is false, the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism and Aviation (MOTA) has confirmed.

In a statement released on Sunday, MOTA said: “The government of The Bahamas is aware of a recent report by NBC claiming that a Super Bowl LIV pregame party held at the Versace Mansion on Friday January 31st was hosted by The Bahamas.  We are confirming that this report is false.  The party was hosted by Baha Mar.

“The Ministry of Tourism and Aviation is particularly excited about the opportunity to capitalize on Super Bowl LIV happening in The Bahamas’ key source market, with targeted media activations during and around key Super Bowl events. Media placements include local broadcast TV, billboards, aerial media, geotargeted digital ads, mobile billboards, sales booths and captivating digital banners at Aventura Mall and Sawgrass Mall.”

Baha Mar’s sponsorship of the Super Bowl LIV pregame party held at the Versace Mansion was also confirmed in a “Page Six” article on Facebook, which noted: “Bahamas resort and casino Baha Mar will take over the Versace mansion for its luxe party — and even sail the resort’s own superyacht, Eternity, to town for expected VIPs such as Floyd Mayweather.”
