Universal Horror Unleashed - Las Vegas, NV

[KlownzNskullZ]

"The Weeknd: Eternal Residency" would be an incredible house, though.

This makes a lot of one of mazes possible too. Limited run mazes the marketing for this place is endless

I'd imagine they'll have a celebrity/not-primarily film/show horror house to draw in some guests.

 

[jarmor]

Probably Lady gaga or Billie Eilish or Metallica!

If it wasn't for Abel retiring that of The Weeknd's branding once the final album comes and goes with that alias, I would genuinely think it'd make for a killer chance to go all out on After Hours.

Or how about something fresh instead of making a rehash of something that has already been done?

I would imagine with the sake of Horror Unleashed--they would want to opt in and focus primarily on brands as opposed to original stories. And in the process, to keep updating it as needed.

I think they have 1-2 permanent mazes and then the other ones rotate every 9-15 months.

With the proximity to LA, I can easily see rotating "celebrity houses" with varying collaborators. Lot's of free publicity and new reasons for people to come back again and again. Lot's of "horror" luminaries and darker pop music stars lending their name and input of varying degrees.

It could become the new "Vegas Residency"-- The Cher House, The Elton John House, The Celine Dion House, The Adele House...

It's been a minute since I've been down to the site, especially as I was avoiding the F1 craziness. May see how progress is going this weekend.

I lied lol, it's just so hard to justify driving down there. Definitely will try my hardest to make a stop in December.

Dunno if they'd want to open against HHN, so maybe like early 2025 opening?

 

[jarmor]

I don't get that logic. It will be open simultaneously with HHN Orlando and HHN Hollywood so why delay an opening so it won't be open when the other HHN's are open?

 

[rageofthegods]

True, but you only do a grand opening once. Interest in horror-related things also tends to crater after Halloween, so opening a year-round event earlier in the year gives you some more runway.

 

[Jerroddragon]

People go to HHN....then 3 months later hear this is open and go for this...makes sense to me

HHN has a huge base now and think whenever it opens the lines will be insane

Runway for what? I can promise you if all 3 (HHN Orlando, HHN Hollywood, UHU Vegas) opened the same day, none of their number will suffer. No one sits around the kitchen table trying to decide if they are going to go to either of the three like they would for a disney or universal vacation in Orlando. HHN in its respective locations are generally local events with national and some international notoriety (looking at you HHN Orlando). Aside from me how many people do you know that visits BOTH HHN orlando and HHN hollywood in the same year? It's not too many because most people go to the one closest to them and call it a day.

Honestly, I do not even see Vegas taking away patrons of hollywood's HHN. See, the way vegas works is the allure and attraction to the area is the gambling and sin city nature. It's a giant 4 mile tourist trap (well, the strip). The patrons for Unleash are those visiting tourist and the locals. Not patrons and locals in orlando and hollywood. Vegas gets most of their visitors in sept-nov. It's almost a no brainer, with walls going up now, hey may want to have this ready in the next 9 months. Yes, that seems aggressive but possible. So, in closing, this is vegas. You are not catering to the same people everyday so nothing really craters. Everyday is a reset button with a new batch of people to reach.

Current projected opening is that September 25 window

Just to clarify: in September 2025?

That is one tall space, wonder if will traverse actual stairs. Since this is not the actual park and rules may be lax, wonder if we will get more hardcore actions/scares like touching and cursing.?
