Universal Parks & Resorts has confirmed it’s bringing a permanent horror-themed “entertainment experience” to Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

The location: A just-approved 20-acre expansion of Area 15.<\/p>\n

Area 15 is home to Omega Mart<\/a>, one of our favorite non-gambling things to do in Las Vegas. Seriously, Omega Mart is more fun than France.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Universal’s attraction will sit just north of the main Area 15 building, a three-minute cab ride from The Strip.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Area 15 has been described as a “surprisingly successful, weird-ass mall full of interactive experiences that’s about as not The Strip as you can get.” It’s worth mentioning we’re the only one who describes it that way, but presumably that’s why you read this blog. You’re welcome.<\/p>\n

As for Universal’s new 110,000 square-foot attraction, they’re sort of keeping it a little vague.<\/p>\n

We got wind the attraction was in the works back in May 2022, because that’s how we roll. It’s cool when rumors pan out, but news is a lot less interesting to us after it’s been officially announced, honestly.<\/p>\n

Rumor is Universal Studios is eyeing Vegas for \"a Sin City version of Halloween Horror Nights,\" a popular attraction in Orlando and Hollywood. SoCal version has \"eight haunted houses, the Terror Tram, scare zones, a live show\" and more. https:\/\/t.co\/eGewA1SIEL<\/a> (h\/t @Screamscape<\/a>)<\/p>\n
