Area15 begins expansion for year-round ‘Halloween Horror Nights’ experience
The Area15 immersive art and entertainment district in Las Vegas has begun construction on a 20-acre expansion anchored by Horror Unleashed, a new year-round horror entertainment experience from Universal Destinations & Experiences.
The 450,000-square-foot development – which will also include iFly Indoor Skydiving – extends beyond Area15’s existing complex, which features Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart, Illuminarium, Five Iron Golf, and Wink World.
Horror Unleashed will occupy over 110,000 square feet in a stand-alone building on the southern end of the expansion. In addition, more than 85,000 square feet will be dedicated to pop-ups and outdoor experiences, including a salvaged Boeing 747 aircraft repurposed as an event space. Additional tenants will be announced in the coming year.
“Today we raise the walls on our next exciting incarnation, which will enable Area15 to bring more best-of-class experiential entertainment to Las Vegas and the global audiences who travel here every year,” said Area15 CEO Winston Fisher. “Consumers continue to gravitate toward artful new forms of entertainment providing immersive experiences, authentic connections, and real emotions. The demand continues to grow, and we are ready to dive into this substantial expansion and find more partnerships that will have a lasting impact on the Area15 District and the City of Las Vegas.”
Area15’s existing complex has welcomed nearly 5 million visitors in its three years of operation. Click here for more information.
