WrestleMania 41 Heading to Las Vegas in 2025
Allegiant Stadium will host the two-night extravaganza from April 19–20
Posted On: May 6, 2024 By :On the heels of hosting two major worldwide sporting events within the past seven months, Las Vegas has added another huge sporting event to its portfolio.
WWE and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority have announced that Las Vegas will host WrestleMania 41 at Allegiant Stadium on April 19–20, 2025.
“Allegiant Stadium has proven to be even greater than the A+ venue Las Vegas guaranteed it would be,” said Nick Khan, WWE president. “We look forward to bringing WWE’s biggest event, WrestleMania, to Las Vegas and Allegiant Stadium so we can collectively make WrestleMania 41 on April 19–20, 2025, the most successful WWE event of all time.”
The 2025 edition of WrestleMania will be the second time Las Vegas has hosted the event, with the only other occasion coming in 1993 at Caesars Palace in front of a crowd of 16,891. The announcement over the weekend comes after Las Vegas in November hosted its inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix for Formula 1 as well as its first Super Bowl ever at Allegiant Stadium.
“Bringing the iconic global brands of WWE and Las Vegas together will create what is sure to be an unforgettable event and weekend,” said Steve Hill, Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority president and chief executive officer. “As the sports and entertainment capital of the world, hosting WrestleMania 41 is the perfect addition to our events calendar, and we can’t wait to welcome the WWE Universe to Las Vegas in 2025.”
The April 19–20 dates will be the latest in a calendar year that WrestleMania has ever taken place. The pandemic era WrestleMania in Tampa Bay on April 10–11, 2021, was previously the latest. Khan made remarks following WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia, went head-to-head with the NCAA Men’s Final Four, that WrestleMania would not be held the same weekend as the Final Four moving forward.
In addition to the two-night stadium event, which is expected to draw between 65,000 and 70,000 fans each night, WWE will also bring Raw, SmackDown, NXT Stand & Deliver, WWE World and the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony to Las Vegas, as well as a variety of community outreach events.
This past April, WrestleMania 40 became the most-successful and highest-grossing event in company history, breaking the previous gate record set by WrestleMania 39 by 78 percent, with 145,298 in attendance over two nights at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. WrestleMania delivers more than $200 million in estimated economic impact for host cities.
