Universal is bringing its unique brand of horror attractions — seen for decades at the company’s Halloween Horror Nights events — to Las Vegas!

On August 14th, Universal Destinations and Experiences will open the Universal Horror Unleashed attraction at Las Vegas’s Area 15, a 40-acre immersive entertainment district and events destination.
According to Universal, the attraction will see visitors “surrounded by horror like never before, encountering unimaginable monstrous creatures lurking around every corner as they brave their way through four themed immersive areas and four terrifying haunted houses.”
One of the four houses will be a new take on Scarecrow: The Reaping, a popular house that has been featured in both the Orlando and Hollywood versions of Halloween Horror Nights.
The new Vegas presentation will be “inspired by the historic Dust Bowl era when severe dust storms devastated the Midwest, this original story will take guests back in time to a dry, barren 1930s farmland ravaged by farmers and taken over by horrifying inhabitants arising from the land: bloodthirsty scarecrows bent on revenge. As guests start their journey in the middle of a windstorm before entering an abandoned farmhouse, they’ll encounter the monstrous and gigantic creatures made of remnants of dried human flesh and bones of beasts, merged with burlap, root and vine, with only one mission at hand – obtain vengeance for their ravaged land.”

The in-depth horror theming will extend to the complex’s food and drink offerings, with several themed bars and food locations. One of which will be Jack’s Alley Bar. The bar will be themed to Horror Nights icon Jack the Clown, and feature specialty-themed cocktails and acrobatic performances in a “circus-like hellscape” environment.
According to Universal, once guests enter the “twisted dark carnival atmosphere” they’ll “face Jack’s evil maniacs and a group of malicious jugglers, dancers, and fortune tellers as terrifying chaos ensues during interactive show moments. Each immersive area will place guests in the center stage of horror, with many opportunities to interact with characters for a deeply engaging experience.”
