Fees are charged for admission to the event. The restaurant exclusively shows a direct pay-per-view from the UK at no cost.

There are plans to open WWF Hotel & amp; Casino Las Vegas in 2000, but this was never revealed. The formation of another WWE, WWE Niagara Falls, opened in 2002 was partially inspired by this place.
Closure and Hard Rock Cafe
Linda McMahon, CEO, chose to close the nightclub in February 2003 so that WWE can concentrate more on their global efforts. Retail stores closed two months later. This means WWE Niagara Falls is the only authorized WWE retail store in the world. The complex remained closed for two years until 2005, when Hard Rock Cafe took over the lease and business. On August 16, 2006, WWE returned to its original location for the 2006 Diva Search final. WWE also held a press conference at Hard Rock Cafe for 24, 25, 27, 30 from WrestleMania.
