The .1%ers are struggling right now (but TayTay is assured a landing spot through the NFL).

Las Vegas sells out of private-jet parking for the Super Bowl — but don’t worry about Taylor Swift

It’s the kind of long shot that no bookie would give you odds on.

The city is officially fully booked for private jets over Super Bowl weekend — with San Francisco tech billionaires among those scrambling to beat the lock-out after the 49ers qualified Sunday night to take on the Kansas City Chiefs.

Slots at McCarran Airport in the city for Sunday night take-offs, to let attendees get home after the match have gone.

Now one percenters are freaking out.

“A colleague of mine owns a hedge fund in New York, he got tickets for the game and presumably spent a lot of money for them,” a private jet insider, who works in the business, told The Post. “I was going to Vegas with him.”

But there was a wrinkle: “They couldn’t find a slot and getting out on Sunday night felt risky. It’s not worth going if you can’t get home when you want to. They decided to leave the jet be and watch the game in New York.”

Others, however, are less lucky.

“I have a client with a G5,” said Giordano, who told The Post that he is already flying in Katie Perry, Justin Bieber and U2 via various casino clients.

“He wants to land his plane on the Friday before the Super Bowl and put it in my hangar. I told him that I don’t think I can do it. I told him, ‘Dude, it’s not about money. I can’t get you in.’”

The tech bros of Silicon Valley are also in trouble after failing to book ahead of the San Francisco 49ers’ Sunday night win.

“Those tech guys think they know everything and they don’t listen,” Giordano said. “I’ve turned down about $500,000 in trip requests as there are no more aircraft and no more slots.”

Asked if people like this ever heard of flying commercial, Giordano said: “They won’t come if they can’t fly private.


“Some won’t come if they have to land in Henderson and buck traffic to the stadium. They don’t fly commercial to go to the Super Bowl.”

In fact, one of his LA clients bailed out of flying altogether: “He rented a Sprinter, with a driver, and they’ll come out day of. But that’s a big discount from the nearly $50,000 that a flight would have run.”
