Steve Hill, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, said in a statement: “The findings confirm what we saw firsthand: These were both extraordinarily impactful events for Las Vegas. More than a successful fight night and WrestleMania spectacle, these were true destination drivers that compelled fans to travel here for the experience. The results for both events were exceptional, reinforcing both Las Vegas’ position as a premier global stage for major moments and the powerhouse entertainment that TKO produces.”
