The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority will be
handing out $6 million to WWE for bringing back WrestleMania
to the city next year.
The news was reported by LVSportsBiz.com, saying that the
LVCVA board will be meeting next week to approve the payment
and also approve the payment of $1.25 million for the
authority to purchase tickets for the 2025 Las Vegas Grand
Prix to hand out to sponsors and customers.
The agenda item for the meeting has the following “purpose
and background” description for WrestleMania to okay the $6
million payment.
“For the second year in a row, Las Vegas will serve as the
stage for WWE’s premier event, marking the first time any
city has hosted back-to-back WrestleManias since 1989. In
2025, WrestleMania 41 attracted 124,000 fans to Allegiant
Stadium and generated more than 140,000 estimated
incremental room nights tied to the weeklong series of WWE
events. In addition to the two-night Allegiant stadium event
that will take place April 18-19, 2026, WWE will bring Raw,
SmackDown, NXT Stand & Deliver, WWE World and the 2026 WWE
Hall of Fame ceremony to Las Vegas, as well as a variety of
community outreach events designed to give back to Southern
Nevada.”
