WrestleMania 42 to take place in Las Vegas once again
WWE announced on Wednesday that WrestleMania 42 will be held in Las Vegas for the second straight year after it was previously revealed that New Orleans would be the host site. Reports about the premiere event of the WWE season leaving New Orleans surfaced a few weeks back. As speculation ran rampant on social media, WWE announced during its Money in the Bank premium live event that WrestleMania will be back at Allegiant Stadium. "Las Vegas helped to deliver the biggest WrestleMania of all time, shattering records and delivering an amazing week for fans around the world," WWE president Nick Khan said in a news release. "We look forward to once again working with the talented and effective teams at the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and Allegiant Stadium to bring WrestleMania back to the Sports and Entertainment Capital of the World." Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) CEO Steve Hill, who talked to Fox News Digital earlier this year ahead of WrestleMania 41, touted the return of the event as well. "We are honored that WWE has once again selected Las Vegas to host the biggest event on their calendar," Hill said. "Bringing WrestleMania 42 to Las Vegas underscores our city's reputation for elevating world-class events to new heights. We are excited to build on last year's success and deliver an even more incredible experience for the WWE Universe in 2026." WrestleMania in Las Vegas was just as busy as Super Bowl week in the city. WWE hosted events up and down the Las Vegas Strip, including the Hall of Fame ceremony, the Roast of WrestleMania and WrestleMania After Dark at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas. WWE said "Monday Night Raw," "Friday Night SmackDown" and WWE World will return. NXT Stand & Deliver will also take place in the city. It will be the second time in WrestleMania's history that the show will be hosted in the same city in consecutive years.

Las Vegas convention center renovation nears completion
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – Las Vegas will soon be welcoming 1.9 million visitors a year which convention officials say wouldn't be possible without their newest multimillion-dollar renovation. A tour of the $600 million investment into the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) Central Hall showcased the new lights, LED screens, and roofing budgeted ten years ago. 'We stayed within budget,' Steve Hill, LVCVA president and CEO, said. 'But we did that by cutting out some of the work that we still need to do.' The eye-catching feature of the expansion, the 'ribbon roof', spreads from the West Hall to the Central Hall which covers the new 30 percent increase in space, according to Hill. 'When we have the full renovation done, we will have moved from 1.9 million square feet to two and a half million square feet,' he said. 'It's about a 30% increase in space, and we want to at least have a 30% increase in the economic activity.' Hill said the job creation which will come from the renovation is attributed to the thousands of construction positions and ancillary hospitality positions in the community. 'We employ about 300,000 people directly in the hospitality industry,' he said. 'The meetings part of the hospitality industry is about a quarter of that employment, about 70,000 jobs.' Amid overall decreasing visitation numbers for Las Vegas, Hill balked at any doubt of continued long-term growth for convention visitors. 'The convention group-trade show industry is about a sixth of the visitation to Las Vegas,' he said. 'And it has held its own this year, it has been a foundation for the city to build from.' Work on the Central Hall is expected to be completed by September with overall convention campus work done by December of 2025. Hill said the numbers show the better return of investment for Las Vegas is in convention visitors—pointing to averages spent per visit. 'The average visitor to Las Vegas spends about $1,200 per trip,' he said. 'The average convention attendee spends about a third more than that, they're in the $1,600 range… I've said this often, if we didn't have the strength of the meeting industry here, Las Vegas couldn't look like what Las Vegas looks like.'

Report: Aces players receive another $100K with investigation in limbo
June 3 - Every player on the roster of the Las Vegas Aces will receive a $100,000 sponsorship fee, courtesy of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. That's according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which reported that all 13 players have signed an agreement for the 2025 season. It's the second consecutive season the tourism group and the Aces are partnering. After the first deal was announced last May, the WNBA announced it was launching an investigation. Steve Hill, the president of the LVCVA, told the Review-Journal on Monday that his group has not been informed of the status of the investigation. "I don't know the inner workings of the league," Hill said. "I'm not looking to cause more of an issue, and it doesn't seem like there's an issue there. So we're just moving forward." Please also have benefited from perks such as concert tickets as part of the sponsorship agreement. As for the benefits for the organization, the report said social media views of the players' interactions with its membership at the time of the 2024 deal announcement received at least 2.2 million views on the X platform alone. "The announcement itself made it a success, just all by itself," he said. "There was an awful lot of attention and eyeballs on Las Vegas." The players' commitment is to represent Las Vegas at various events, including at the Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix, and the deal was agreed to directly with the players and didn't have team input. Hill said the LVCVA's sponsorship agreement was never intended to help the Aces skirt the league's salary cap. Pay in the league in 2024 ranged from the mid-$60,000s to a $242,000 supermax deal. "This was not in coordination with the team, and there was not an attempt to support the salary cap," Hill said, per the report. "It's just a sponsorship that helps draw attention to the pay levels of players. So getting those ambassadors out there and making them a part of our marketing effort has been great." --Field Level Media
