Universal Horror Unleashed has now officially opened in Las Vegas.

Located in the city's AREA15 District, the adventure takes place in an abandoned warehouse filled with haunting stories and characters, taking guests on a terrifying journey through four haunted houses, four themed areas with live entertainment and treating them to food and cocktails as they attempt to evade monstrous creatures.

“Today marks an exciting step in our expansion into new markets as we officially welcome guests to Universal Horror Unleashed in Las Vegas,” said Page Thompson, President, New Ventures, Universal Destinations and Experiences, in a statement. “Horror Unleashed will provide unique character interactions that will thrill fans of both horror and immersive entertainment.”

Four Haunted Houses

Scarecrow: The Reaping Scarecrow: Travel back in time to a dry, barren 1930s farmland ravaged by farmers and taken over by bloodthirsty scarecrows bent on revenge.

“The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”: Based on the 1974 horror classic, the journey places guests in footsteps of the victims as they face horrifying iconic scenes and characters.  

Universal Monsters: Legendary classic horror monsters have broken free from the silver screen to stalk unwitting victims in a continuous nightmare.  

Blumhouse’s The Exorcist: Believer: Guests find themselves deep in the shadowy woods where best friends Katherine and Angela mysteriously vanish – only to be discovered days later with no memory of what happened.   

Four Themed Areas

Kill Vault: Eerie characters include a strange surgeon to psychotic slashers waiting to lure their next victim.

Prop Graveyard: Guests face a supernatural collection of unsettling dolls, dismembered mannequins and other haunted objects from abandoned film sets that move as guests walk through.

Dead Storage: Enveloping guests in a shadow-filled sanctuary with forgotten set pieces and eerie relics reclaimed by night-dwelling creatures such as vampires, a werewolf in mid-transformation.

Jack’s Alley: Set in a twisted, dark carnival atmosphere, guests face Jack The Clown’s evil maniacs and a group of malicious jugglers, dancers and fortune tellers.

Spooky Food and Beverage

Rough Cuts: Small plates accompanied by electrifying performances and haunting backstories.

Premier House: Tapas bar with shareable bites and cocktails featuring the horrors of Blumhouse

Boiler Bar: Craft cocktails with a hellish spectacle and monstrous flaming machine.

Jack’s Alley Bar: Themed cocktails in a circus-like hellscape with Jack the Clown and evil sidekick Chance.

For a deeper dive into the horror, guests can purchase the elevated “Haunted High Rollers” VIP Experience Package. Fans can commemorate their visit with Universal Unleashed Horror merchandise and collectables.
