Four-time Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski has advised players from both the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers to steer clear of the temptations on offer in Sin City for this weekend's NFL showpiece event.
The state-of-the-art Allegiant Stadium plays host to this year's Super Bowl in Las Vegas with LIV Golf also in town for a wild few days of sport.

But this is the first time the Super Bowl will be played in Las Vegas - a city known for it's infamous temptations.
Gronkowski has offered his advice to both teams heading into Sunday's clash, warning them to stay off the famous strip.
“Just being in the Vegas atmosphere, you can’t even sleep," Gronkowski said.
"Even if you’re staying sober, I swear. Like, you’re just fricking, like, energized.
“Hopefully, the players are off the strip, so they’re not dealing with that type of energy.
"Just stay calm, stick to your routine.
"Hopefully, everyone can just survive the week.
"Get an IV, drink a lot of water, drink a lot of electrolytes as well. Enjoy the time."

On average, five to seven players per team use the pregame hyperhydration technique.
The 49ers are seen as the favourites heading into the Super Bowl, but Gronkowski believes the partnership of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce gives the Chiefs the edge.
“They’ve been building that connection since day one that they became teammates … And they just keep building on it," he added.
