Ghosts, goblins and other sinister creatures will be haunting Las Vegas in the weeks leading up to Halloween on Friday, October 31. Put a fright into your holiday plans with the following spooktacular attractions and destinations.
AREA15
Choose your adventure at AREA15. The interactive entertainment traditionally likes to host immersive viewing presentations of the Rocky Horror Picture Show in The Portal and scAREA15, a Halloween-themed dance party with DJs. (We’ll post info when announced.) But the big news is the recent arrival of Universal Horror Unleashed at AREA15’s expanded campus. Pay a visit and explore haunted mazes based on classic Universal favorites, the Exorcist, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and a spooky cornfield while enjoying themed food and drink.
Asylum & Hotel Fear
Enjoy a double-dose of walk-through haunted houses by Las Vegas Haunts at the Meadows Mall parking lot. Asylum is a terrifying journey through a creepy mental institution and Hotel Fear is what happens when a resort takes a dark turn. Both attractions are decorated with authentic movie props and have seen dramatic upgrades recently. Tickets are available online.
Escape Blair Witch & Saw Escape Room
Two of your favorite horror movies come to life with two immersive escape rooms. Escape Blair Witch is based on the Blair Witch Project while the Saw Escape Room is based on the Saw slasher franchise. With each experience, you’ll use your brain and trust your instincts to solve tasks and proceed from one room to another. Tickets begin at $55.99 for Escape Blair Witch and $59.99 for the Saw Escape Room.
Freakling Bros.
Freakling Bros. presents three different haunted attractions in one collective experience: Castle Vampyre, Coven of 13 and Gates of Hell (the only R-Rated haunted house in Nevada). Performances run on select days throughout October with food trucks, fortune tellers and more. Ask about an all-in-one pass for unlimited access to all three attractions throughout the evening.
Fremont Street Experience
The Fremont Street Experience welcomes visitors to dress up and spend time “mask-a-raiding” through the five-block pedestrian mall on Halloween weekend. Expect to see Halloween-themed live music performances on several stages.
Haunted Tavern
The Haunted Tavern is a four-part, pop-up haunted cocktail experience based on the legend of Ichabod Crane. Get in the Halloween spirit early, Sept. 18-20 at The Lexi. Four cocktails and live music are included. Don’t be surprised if a ghost shows up.
Fetish & Fantasy
One of the best Halloween events of the year, the Fetish & Fantasy Halloween Ball, is the headline attraction of the Sin City Halloween Weekend at Virgin Hotels. The adults-only party encourages extravagant, sexy costumes (but no nudity) on Saturday, November 1, with DJs and theatrical performers inside the Theater at Virgin Hotels. Get in the spirit with a Friday-night Thriller pre-party at 24 Oxford.
HallOVeen
HallOVeen returns to the Magical Forest at Opportunity Village. Guests will enjoy carnival rides, food trucks, escape rooms and more. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 3-5, Oct. 10-12, and Oct. 17-Nov. 2. Save time by buying tickets in advance.
The LINQ
Roam The LINQ in costume and enjoy festive decorations and seasonal treats at the promenade’s shops and restaurants. The High Roller observation wheel will have a special light show on Halloween night.
Fear Zone
Fear Zone replaces the long-running Fright Dome haunted attraction at the Adenturedome inside Circus Circus. Explore a Halloween-themed park with four haunted houses (Deep Containment, Hillbilly Hollow, the Birth of Glass Eyes and Cotton Candy Carnage) as well six scare zones on select nights between Sept. 26 and Oct. 31.
