The Venetian on the Las Vegas Strip canceled a private reception featuring Kyle Rittenhouse that was set to take place on Wednesday during the Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show. The hotel canceling the event comes after another venue in Texas canceled a different Rittenhouse reception.
"Our tenant informed us that they have canceled the event. We do not speak on behalf of our tenants, but want to emphasize this event did not align with our property’s core event guidelines," Grand Canal Shoppes said in statement, according to Fox 5 Vegas.
Rittenhouse will now host a meet and greet a booth within SHOT Show.

Thank you @VenetianVegas for canceling the murderer Kyle Rittenhouse event at your resort. The Venetian showed that you have too much class to except money to glorify a murderer. pic.twitter.com/Putmh7a6U5

Rittenhouse also revealed the event in Texas will still be taking place at Lone Star Convention in Conroe instead of the Southern Star Brewery.

The event will now be held at Lone Star Convention in Conroe, Texas. Southern Star Brewery may have cancelled, but we are still going to make this event happen! I'm a proud supporter of the first amendment and I will use my voice for good and won't stop. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 https://t.co/hZmJ68aLW2

Rittenhouse continues to face unfair treatment for shooting three men in self-defense during the 2020 BLM riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The trial in 2021 laid out how Rittenhouse was not trying to target random people and only shot people who were actively attacking him. He was acquitted on all charges.
