A new horror entertainment experience from Universal will have a permanent spot in Las Vegas.
Universal Parks & Resorts announced the plan Wednesday, saying the year-round horror experience will be reminiscent of Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights.
The experience will be part of a new 20-acre expansion of Las Vegas’ immersive AREA15 entertainment district, which first opened in September 2020.
The new concept marks the first time Universal has created a permanent horror experience outside of its theme parks.
The attraction will mark the first time Universal has created a permanent horror experience beyond its theme parks, the release notes.
“Universal is known for our ability to deliver original, highly-themed and terrifying horror entertainment experiences for millions of fans every year,” said Page Thompson, President, New Ventures, Universal Parks & Resorts. “We are excited to give our global fanbase yet another way to get scared and have fun with fear in the heart of Las Vegas, the perfect place for this type of unique concept.”
According to the release, the permanent experience “will deliver on the thrills and frights its horror fans have come to love and excite anyone looking for a new level of experiential entertainment.”
Universal says “the space will also feature a continuously updated experience, must-see seasonal events and one-of-a-kind merchandise.”
The company says that “as plans take shape,” further details and an opening date will be announced.
