Feb.10.16. Super Bowl 50 with Daniel Shaver & April Renee
For Super Bowl 50, we were fortunate to spend two days with a lovely couple from Kansas City, Daniel Shaver and April Renee, who came to Las Vegas to wager on the big game and bask in all the excitement. Vibrant and energetic, Daniel and April are a striking example of today’s young sports gamblers with their adventurous spirit, appetite for risk and optimistic approach to life.
We joined them as they placed their wagers at a local sports book. We saw and captured key moments of their emotional rollercoaster while watching the game.
