Attention well-heeled football fans: Here's a deal for you. Austin-based ticket agency TicketCity is offering a $1 million package for Super Bowl LI in Houston.

We know that sounds like a lot, but it's for 20 people and includes the following:

Private plane to and from Houston
Police escort to Super Bowl
Super Bowl premium seating
Courtside Houston Rockets tickets
UFC Fight Night VIP package
Stay at two luxury homes in the heart of Houston
Meals at Damians, Brennan's, Smith & Wollensky
Entry to ESPN party, Rolling Stone party, Leather and Laces party, Maxim party, NFL Honors Awards Show
Entry to NFL Players Tailgate party

Other perks for the four-night package (February 2-5) include a personal concierge; a spa day at the Houstonian; bourbon tastings; autographed helmets from such stars as Tom Brady, Troy Aikman, and Aaron Rodgers; autographed jerseys from Jerry Jones and the 1972 Miami Dolphins perfect-season team; and a Super Bowl 50 helmet autographed by John Elway and Peyton Manning, along with a $5,000 gift card to shop for NFL merchandise.

"People in Texas want to spend a lot of money on shopping and football," says Shannon McKinley, TicketCity director of PR/Communications.

A Super Bowl ticket in the club level at NRG Stadium already is going for more than $11,000, so the package, which averages $50,000 per person, could be considered a bargain in some circles, particularly if the Patriots make it to the Super Bowl, when it could be the most expensive sports event ever.

McKinley says the agency has two $1 million Super Bowl packages available, with other options available for customized packages. For additional details, contact Shannon@ticketcity.com or call 512-721-1124.

Crystal Beach on the Bolivar Peninsula is a top destination for Labor Day travelers.

A new national list naming the 10 best Labor Day vacation destinations has ranked Bolivar Peninsula near Houston the 10th best vacation spot for 2025.

Vacation rental marketplace HomeToGo's "Labor Day Travel Report" analyzed "traveler search patterns" to determine the 10 best places to spend the Labor Day weekend in the U.S. and abroad.

Bolivar Peninsula was the only Texas destination to earn acclaim on the list. Edisto Island in South Carolina was named the No. 1 best destination for the holiday.

According to the report's findings, 63 percent of Americans are planning to travel domestically during Labor Day weekend. Search trends for Bolivar Peninsula vacation rentals have skyrocketed 309 percent since last year. The region is located about 330 miles (or a five hour drive) from Dallas, making it a perfect getaway for vacationers that want to explore a blossoming coastal area that isn't Galveston or Port Aransas.

Bolivar Peninsula is home to stunning retreats like Camp Margaritaville that boast breathtaking views of the sunny Texas coastline. The RV resort also offers access to 27 miles of beaches, including popular Crystal Beach, which was ranked the seventh best destination for spring break earlier this year.

Overall, search volume for vacation rentals during Labor Day weekend has increased 26 percent since 2024, and HomeToGo spokesperson Eleanor Moody says interest in traveling to international destinations is also on the rise.

"Just over one-third of U.S. travelers are eyeing international destinations," Moody says. "With places including Italy’s L’Aquila, Lagos in Portugal, and Vourvourou in Greece seeing substantial spikes in interest for visits over the holiday weekend, it appears that Americans are looking to live out their ‘Euro Summer’ dreams while there is still time left this year."

In HomeToGo's separate ranking of the best budget-friendly domestic destinations for the holiday weekend, Tarpon Springs, Florida took the top spot with a median price of $170.20 per night for a vacation rental.

The top 10 best Labor Day vacation destinations in the U.S. are:

No. 1 – Edisto Island, South Carolina
No. 2 – Indianapolis, Indiana
No. 3 – Annapolis, Maryland
No. 4 – North Wildwood, New Jersey
No. 5 – Beaufort, South Carolina
No. 6 – Lake Keowee, South Carolina
No. 7 – Bellingham, Washington
No. 8 – Saint Augustine Beach, Florida
No. 9 – McCall, Idaho
No. 10 – Bolivar Peninsula, Texas
