**WrestleMania 42 Set for Las Vegas: A Historic Return**
WWE has officially announced that WrestleMania 42 will take place in Las Vegas for the second consecutive year, following earlier plans to host the event in New Orleans. This decision comes after speculation about the event’s location circulated on social media, leading to WWE’s confirmation during the recent Money in the Bank premium live event.
“Las Vegas helped to deliver the biggest WrestleMania of all time, shattering records and providing an unforgettable experience for fans worldwide,” stated WWE President Nick Khan in a press release. He expressed excitement about collaborating again with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and Allegiant Stadium to bring WrestleMania back to the renowned entertainment capital.
Steve Hill, CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the honor of hosting such a significant event. “WWE’s choice to return to Las Vegas for WrestleMania 42 highlights our city’s ability to elevate world-class events. We are eager to build on last year’s success and create an even more remarkable experience for the WWE Universe in 2026.”
The previous WrestleMania in Las Vegas was as bustling as Super Bowl week, featuring a variety of events along the Las Vegas Strip, including the Hall of Fame ceremony and the Roast of WrestleMania. WWE has also confirmed that “Monday Night Raw,” “Friday Night SmackDown,” and NXT Stand & Deliver will return to the city.
This marks only the second time in WrestleMania’s history that the event will be held in the same city for two consecutive years, with the previous instance occurring in Atlantic City, New Jersey, for WrestleMania IV and V.
As fans eagerly anticipate WrestleMania 42, the excitement continues to build for what promises to be another unforgettable event in Las Vegas.
