One Big Thing
WWE has officially announced that WrestleMania 41 will take place on April 19 and 20, 2024, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. The announcement was made during the NBC broadcast of the Kentucky Derby pre-show on Saturday.

Why It Matters
The decision to host WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas marks a significant change from previous rumors suggesting Minneapolis, Minnesota, as the preferred location. The success of the kick-off press conference before the Super Bowl in Las Vegas earlier this year reportedly influenced the change in plans. Despite WWE’s recent successes with overseas premium live events, WWE President Nick Khan has stated that the “big five” events, including WrestleMania, will remain in North America moving forward.
Triple H’s Announcement
In the video announcement, Triple H said, “In case you’ve been living under a rock, WWE is on fire right now. And next year, we’re bringing the show of shows to Las Vegas. WrestleMania in the entertainment capital of the world. Only question is … are you ready?”
The Bottom Line
WWE’s decision to bring WrestleMania 41 to Las Vegas in April 2024 showcases the company’s commitment to hosting its biggest event in major cities across North America. As the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas is sure to provide an exciting backdrop for the two-day extravaganza.
