LAS VEGAS – LFA president Sven Bean announced today that the LFA has entered into event production agreements for three events in the month of January 2023.
“Coming off a successful 2022, the LFA team will stay busy in January as we debut at a new venue in Arizona, return to one of our most popular midwest venues, and finish the month with a trip to Brazil,” said Bean, who handles venue booking and scheduling for the LFA.
“We will kick things off with a special engagement and debut at Gila River Resorts & Casinos Wild Horse Pass Casino, in Chandler, Arizona on Friday, January 6,” stated Bean.
“This event will be a departure from our standard M.O. as we bring the octagon to the stage inside The Showroom at Wild Horse Pass. It will be an intimate setting with every seat being right on top of the action. The venue, casino, and hotel are all world class and will bring an upscale quality to the show. The property is the nicest casino resort in the Phoenix area, and It will serve as the perfect host to start off our 2023 season”
Gila River Corporate Director of Entertainment Anastasia Palmer Johnson added:
“We are so delighted to welcome the LFA to The Showroom at Wildhorse Pass. The LFA team have shown they bring a level of showmanship and professionalism that partners perfectly with our portfolio of events. We are thrilled to be able to offer such an exciting and dynamic event to kick off the new year!”

“The following week, the LFA heads to the Midwest for a return to Mystic Lake Casino Hotel just outside of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

I am looking forward to what they have in store for our fans this January,” stated Bean.
