Vengeance is coming to Vegas.

BattleBots, the hit Discovery Channel show full of robot combat carnage, has announced Destruct-A-Thon, a new show set to begin February 3 and run Thursday and Friday at 6 p.m., Saturday at 3 and 6 p.m., and Sunday at noon, at Caesars Entertainment Studios. Tickets go on sale November 14 through battlebots.com/tickets.

The robot residency promises 80 minutes of intense action featuring big-name bots such as Lock-Jaw, Kraken and Whiplash. Those competitors, and many new ones being built, will bring their bolts, sweat and tears to the BattleBox Arena. No two battles will be alike, and many rookie teams will have a chance to try out for next year’s BattleBots World Championships through the show.

“It will feature the most famous fighting robots on the planet, and they’ll be fighting to the death every night,” BattleBots CEO Trey Roski said in a statement. “It’s going to be the most violent show in Las Vegas where nobody ever gets hurt.”

In October, BattleBots taped its 2022 tournament at Caesars Entertainment Studios.

Destruct-a-Thon will offer fans a chance to see new fights before they even air on TV.
