“Las Vegas is an entertainment destination unlike any other and Area15 has helped change the landscape in the city since opening in 2020,” said Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman. “We are very excited about their plans to expand so dramatically.”

Housed in a 110,000+-square-foot stand-alone building, the Universal Parks & Resorts horror experience will anchor the Area15 expansion, with more than 85,000 additional square feet dedicated to pop-ups and outdoor experiences, including a salvaged Boeing 747 aircraft that will be repurposed as an event space.

“Area15 curates a constellation of world-class experiences and our partnership with an internationally renowned entertainment company such as Universal marks a significant milestone in our evolution,” said Area15 CEO Winston Fisher. “Consumers continue to gravitate toward artful new forms of entertainment providing immersive experiences, authentic connections, and real emotions.
