WWE slightly inflated the attendance for WrestleMania 41

The official attendance data for WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas has been released and confirms the magnitude of the event. According to the documentation from the Las Vegas Stadium Authority (LVSA), the first day of the show held on Saturday, April 19, brought together 58,538 spectators, while on Sunday the 20th the number rose to 60,103.

In total, the two nights of action at Allegiant Stadium totaled 118,641 attendees, solidifying WrestleMania as a mass phenomenon that goes far beyond wrestling. The comparison with WWE's official numbers leaves little room for controversy. The company announced 60,151 people for Saturday and 61,389 for Sunday, reaching a total of 121,540 spectators.

The difference between both sources was minimal: 2.3% less on Saturday, 2.1% less on Sunday, and 2.4% less overall. In other words, although WWE slightly inflated its figures, the difference is small enough to confirm that WrestleMania once again filled the stadium to record levels. The LVSA report also revealed a very telling fact: the majority of attendees were visitors from outside the city. 81% of those present on Saturday and 84% on Sunday traveled to Las Vegas exclusively to experience WrestleMania.

This percentage illustrates the enormous tourist attraction power of the event, which mobilizes tens of thousands of international fans every year, generating a direct impact on hospitality, transportation, and local consumption. Although the exact economic figures have not yet been made public, the experience of past editions suggests that WrestleMania 41 brought in tens of millions of dollars in revenue for the city.

In addition to filling Allegiant Stadium for two consecutive nights, WrestleMania surpassed the attendance of world-class star concerts held in the same venue during the second quarter, including Post Malone, Kendrick Lamar, Coldplay, AC/DC, and Shakira. Surpassing names of that caliber demonstrates that WWE's annual show not only competes with sports and entertainment but has become one of the most powerful cultural brands in the world.
