🚨I am saddened to report that WWE legend Hulk Hogan has passed away. His real name was Terry Gene Bollea. He was 71 years old. RIP Hulk.

Hogan's last official appearance in Las Vegas was on May 15, 2013, when he helped welcome TNA Impact Wrestling to the Orleans Arena.

His last wrestling match in Las Vegas was at WrestleMania IX on April 4, 1993, where he defeated Yokozuna at Caesars Palace. Hogan surprisingly won the title after Yokozuna had just defeated Bret Hart for the championship.

It's worth noting that Hogan made various appearances in Las Vegas beyond his wrestling career, such as attending the Licensing Expo in 2015. Hogan was supposed to attend WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas in April of this year, but I have not been able to find additional information showing he was actually there.

Did you ever see Hulk Hogan in Vegas. If you have a photo, please post it here. Thanks
