This was the second WrestleMania held in Las Vegas; the other was WrestleMania IX in 1993.
At Preview Las Vegas in January, WWE President Nick Khan said that after seeing the success of Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, he floated the idea of the city as a possible location for this year’s WrestleMania. The pageantry of the flagship wrestling event turned out to be a perfect fit for Vegas.
“It’s no surprise that WrestleMania 41 smashed records across the board, bringing a global spotlight to Las Vegas. It was truly a historic event, generating millions in economic impact and filling the city’s hotels, restaurants, and venues with visitors from around the world,” said Brian Yost, chief operating officer of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
According to WWE, the event set records, with viewership on Peacock and Netflix surging 114% over 2024 levels. This was the first WrestleMania to livestream on Netflix as the platform began a 10-year rights deal with WWE back in January. Gate attendance for WrestleMania also set a record, with 124,693 fans in attendance over the course of both nights.
“With record-breaking attendance and an unforgettable weekend of events, WrestleMania proved once again that Las Vegas is the ultimate destination for world-class entertainment and major sporting events,” Yost added.
New this year, WWE and Medium Rare joined forces to host the inaugural “WrestleMania After Dark” event series at the official host hotel of WrestleMania 41, Fontainebleau Las Vegas. From April 17-20 at LIV and LIV Beach, fans could attend evening events that included musical performances, appearances by WWE Superstars, and interactive activations.
Also new for 2025, WWE and Comcast entered a multiyear expansion of their partnership in which Comcast’s home internet brand, Xfinity, was named the Official Home Wi-Fi Partner of the WWE, as well as the first partner to ever appear on the WrestleMania set.
Designed in collaboration with live events producer Done+Dusted, the set featured branded LED signage. As part of the partnership, Xfinity will also receive key brand placement during other WWE events, including ring mat branding at SummerSlam 2025 and Survivor Series 2025.
Returning from last year was WWE World, a five-day interactive fan experience from Fanatics Events, the live and special event division of Fanatics. The fan fest took place at the Las Vegas Convention Center April 17-21.
