Show them the money. WrestleMania has long since been the biggest event of the wrestling year, but the show has evolved into more than it was even in its earlier days. The show now regularly runs over two nights instead of one, with cities bidding on bringing it in every year. That was the situation with the bidding process for next year’s show and now we know some more about what happened.

Earlier this month, WWE announced that WrestleMania 41 would be held in Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, near Las Vegas, on April 19 and 20, 2025. According to 8 News Now in Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Convention And Visitors Authority have paid $5 million to sponsor the show, with expectations of over 180,000 fans occupying 144,000 incremental room nights over the weekend. There is no word on if any other governmental associations are sponsoring the show.
This should be big. Check out what is coming to Nevada:
Opinion: When you think about it, that should be a steal for the city, as those fans coming to the show are going to need hotels, food, souvenirs, merchandise, parking and probably a good deal of entertainment while they are in town. That isn’t even counting the gambling in Las Vegas, which can bring in a fortune in its own right. It makes sense for Las Vegas to want the show and they seem to have done well with their investment.
What do you think of the deal? What do you expect on the show? Let us know in the comments below.
