Steve Hill, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, shared with Fox News Digital what fans can expect the moment they arrive at Harry Reed International Airport.
“No city like Las Vegas offers an opportunity for events to truly take over the city,” Hill said. “There are several reasons for that. One is to do it quite regularly. There is activation at the airport, and there is activation both outside and inside the many properties on the strip.
“You just see it and feel it in a way that’s hard to replicate elsewhere, and we’re like we’ve been built as a platform for these major events. And fans come, and WrestleMania will take over the city too. You can feel the excitement, the energy, and you can see other places.”
The atmosphere around the city is similar to Super Bowl Week. All the fans gather in town and watch their favourite wrestlers perform on “all epic stages.” All the excitement ultimately leads to an indisputable WWE Championship match between Cody Rhodes and John Cena.
A special animation “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign will be featured at the airport, which also displays Cena’s signature “You Can’t See Me” catchphrase.

Needless to say, there are countless independent wrestling shows held at several hotels and facilities in the city. The event doesn’t even damage the surface of what comes throughout the weekend.
“We’re beginning to feel like we’re heading towards this weekend,” Hill said. “I’ll point out that this is an Easter weekend. It’s not usually one of the busiest weekends in Las Vegas. Naturally, it’s often a weekend I spent with my family and not necessarily here.
“You’re beginning to see the acquisition of Strip’s marquee. You’re beginning to see a presence. We have a big WrestleMania belt on Caesar’s iconic figure and the Lion’s iconic figure in MGM Grand and something like that. So you start to see such a type of Super Bowl and Formula starting to walk.
Hill told Fox News Digital that he wasn’t really a fan of professional wrestling, but he’s been more interested last year or so.
He revealed who are looking forward to coming over the weekend.

“John Cena – obviously, there’s a spotlight on him, and you’ve grown up with these older wrestlers and you’re still around, so I’m related to it,” Hill said. “He’s like he went to the Dark Side here, and I’m interested to see how it works.”
