Las Vegas’ MGM Grand, now part of the MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy, will debut the West Coast flagship location of The FRIENDS Experience later this year, which will coincide with the 30th anniversary of the hit TV show. 

The FRIENDS Experience has debuted in over 24 cities worldwide, more recently in Boston and in London later this summer. It was created by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment, Warner Bros. Television Group and Original X Productions. 

Fans of the iconic show will be able to enter life-sized set creations of some of the best parts of the show, including Ross and Rachel’s Las Vegas wedding scene, Monica’s apartment and the fountain that became the beloved set of the show’s opening credits, all located within MGM Grand’s The District.

The FRIENDS Experience: The One in Vegas will also offer an onsite retail store that will be available to both ticketed and non-ticketed guests. The complete series of the show will be released in 4K Ultra HD on September 24, 2024.

Michael Neubecker, MGM Grand's President & COO, said, "Las Vegas is home to some of the most incredible entertainment and immersive experiences in the world, with MGM Grand at the epicenter of it all. Given FRIENDS' wide appeal domestically and internationally, we are excited to be the long-term West Coast home to this experience that will resonate with so many of our visitors, transporting them to the iconic settings inspired by the show."
