They could have a resort attached. All the talent could have permanent residencies near their workplace. When you go down to Florida for the weather, or for Disney World or Universal Studios, you can go and see the WWE because, heck, that’s what you do when you visit Florida.
Vegas could have a similar appeal to them. Lots of tourists, permanent attractions they can piggy-back off. My guess would be Florida first, because of the PC and their presence there already.

Ive said for years House Shows no longer make sense for WWE. They have their own performance center, so if a wrestler needs to work off rust or whatever, they can just do it there. No matter how much Vince still thinks they are a traveling circus, the truth is they are a TV company. If they are making $600 million a year for Raw, Smackdown, and Peacock, and they make maybe $10,000 for a house show, if they run 200 house shows between both brands, that is only $2 million in profit for the year. That is not even 1% of thsir total income from the TV/Streaming deals. With Raw, Smackdown, and PPVs they would still have over 100 live events a year, and if they are going to each city once a year just for TV tapings, the attendance should increase as there would only be one chance a year to go instead of multiple chances.
