The Las Vegas location marks the latest addition in a broader initiative by Original X Productions and Warner Bros.

The choice of Las Vegas as the location is particularly meaningful, given the show’s connections to the city in its storylines. The CEO of Original X Productions has emphasized Las Vegas’s importance as both a cultural touchstone within the series and an entertainment hotspot.
