A recent announcement reveals that Las Vegas has won the bid to host WWE WrestleMania 41. The highly anticipated event is set to happen at Allegiant Stadium on April 19-20, 2025, after Las Vegas outshined Minneapolis in the selection process.
As per a report by Brandon Thurston from Wrestlenomics, public records show that WWE will be granted $5 million by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) for organizing WrestleMania 41. The agreement was finalized just before the official declaration, giving WWE the potential to use the LVCVA’s Las Vegas Convention Center West Hall for the event without paying rent.
Thurston’s report also touches on the discussions involving key personnel like David Beachnau from the Detroit Sports Commission and Lisa Motley from LVCVA, emphasizing Motley’s pivotal role in securing the hosting rights for WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas. Despite initial resistance from LVCVA, negotiations gained traction after WWE’s successful WrestleMania 40 Kickoff event in the city.
Motley, alongside LVCVA COO Brian Yost, attended WrestleMania 40 and engaged with WWE officials, receiving praise from WWE President Nick Khan for Las Vegas as a top choice for major sports events. The proposal presented to convince Las Vegas to host WrestleMania highlighted the significant economic benefits the event would bring to the city, ultimately leading to Las Vegas clinching the deal.
The report ends with the official confirmation of Las Vegas as the designated host city for WrestleMania 41, underscoring the effective efforts made to bring this prestigious event to the vibrant city.
