Las Vegas is increasingly likely to host WrestleMania 42, as recent developments indicate significant progress in finalizing the location. Bryan Alvarez, speaking on F4WOnline.com’s Wrestling Observer Live, provided an update suggesting the city is on the verge of being confirmed.

Alvarez noted, “As of today, they’re still not ‘confirmed’ for anywhere, but this morning, they cleared several hurdles that were in the way of WWE going to WrestleMania [in Vegas]. Vegas is apparently making a lot of concessions to clear the way for WrestleMania in Vegas and I was told that as of today, it is almost a done deal.”

Detailing the logistical challenges, Alvarez explained, “One of the issues, there were a couple of issues, was an issue with the stadium – this is not gonna be in the Sphere, it’s looking like it would be in the stadium. Apparently, there was an unannounced concert, but the concert was close enough to the planned date of WrestleMania that there was not gonna be enough time to set up, and the concert was unwilling to move. There was an issue with the convention center, which is where they were gonna do all of their whatever it’s called now (WWE World). I’m not sure what hurdles were cleared, but several were this morning.”
