Universal Parks & Resorts to launch permanent horror experience in Las Vegas

Universal Parks & Resorts is developing a permanent horror entertainment experience in Las Vegas.

The immersive experience will bring to life Universal’s vast library of classic horror films and marks the first time Universal has created a permanent horror experience beyond its theme parks.

The space will also feature a continuously updated experience, seasonal events and exclusive kind merchandise.

“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 of New Ventures at 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.”

Universal’s new horror experience will housed in a new 20-acre expansion of Las Vegas’ AREA15 entertainment district.

Winston Fisher, Chief Executive Officer at AREA15, added: “AREA15 curates a constellation of best-in-class experiences. Universal’s never-been-done-before concept will be a perfect fit because our guests know they can expect fresh, exciting entertainment at AREA15.”
