Two popular sports events bound to draw thousands of fans to Las Vegas will be sponsored by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.

The board on Tuesday unanimously approved sponsorships for the next two NBA Summer League seasons, July 12-22 this year and in July 2025, for $600,000 each year, and Wrestlemania 41 set for April 19-20, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium for $5 million.

The 20th Summer League season this year, played at UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion, is a 75-game season played by all 30 NBA teams over 11 days. Players include rookies, some second-year players and free agents no longer on rosters attempting to return to the league.
