What’s not listed was the twenty seven car private train the union pacific brought which is quite ironic since it’s been twenty seven years since the last regularly scheduled passenger train to Las Vegas. It’s also (not) funny that the largest hurdle everytime amtrak has attempted to restore service to Las Vegas has been the union pacific and their worries about congestion. Just goes to show that it’s not a real issue if they can bring their rolling luxury mansion to town for the super bowl without any congestion issues.
Side note, usually the BNSF also brings their private train to the super bowl as well (going as far back as late 1990s) but I can’t find any sources that they brought their train this year.

Offsets are a trivial fraction of those costs. Even if fraudulent, they have little impact on prices.
The bigger issue is the unmitigated damage from emissions
