Steve Hill, president and chief executive officer of the Visitors Convention in Las Vegas, shared with PK Press Club Digital what fans can expect when they arrive at Harry Reid International Airport.
“No city offers the possibility of an event to really take the city like Las Vegas,” said Hill. “There are several reasons for this. One is that we do it quite regularly. There will be activations at the airport, there are activations outside and inside a number of properties on the band.
“You will only see it and feel it in a difficult way to reproduce elsewhere and we are in a way built as a platform for these major events. Then, the fans come and Wrestlemania also takes control of a city, you can feel excitement, you feel the energy and it’s different to see another place.”
The atmosphere around the city is similar to the Super Bowl week. Fans from everywhere flocked to the city to see their favorite wrestlers perform on “the biggest scene of all”. All the excitement will finally lead to the match for the undisputed WWE championship between Cody Rhodes and John Cena.
A special animated “Welcome to Las Vegas” panel which will also show that the slogan “You can’t see me” of Cena will be presented at the airport.

Wrestlemania 41 Night 2 will see John Cena try to make history against Cody Rhodes
Not to mention the countless number of independent wrestling shows that take place in several hotels and installations across the city. Events do not even scratch the surface of what will happen throughout the weekend.
“We are starting to feel on the way this weekend,” said Hill. “I will emphasize that this is Easter weekend, which is generally not one of the busiest weekends in Las Vegas. Naturally, it is often a weekend that has spent family and not necessarily here.
“You are starting to see brand sockets on the strip. You are starting to see the presence. We have big belts from Wrestlemania on emblematic characters at Caesars and the Lion with the Grand MGM and that kind of things.
Hill told PK Press Club Digital that he was not really a fan of professional struggle, but that he was interested in the past year.
He revealed who he is looking forward to watching the weekend coming.

“John Cena – Obviously, the spotlights are on him. And you grow in a way with these older wrestlers and always have them there and I refer to that,” said Hill. “He has sort of gone on the dark side here. We are quite interested to see how it works.”
