This place is a great time and full of well thought out terrifying attractions. In addition to the haunted mazes, you will find great live entertainment periodically throughout the venue. This is definitely a top notch spot for a cocktail and plenty of things for the eyes to see. There is something going on everywhere. Highly recommended. read more

Wicked Date Night! I had the pleasure of experiencing Universal Horror Unleashed in Vegas firsthand, and I can't recommend it enough. From the first moment you walk in, the decor gives an eerie feel of haunt & horror lurking. The Boiler Bar going off with smoke and dim lights gives it an otherworldly experience. Currently, the Resident Evil Takeover is in play and they really made it immersive, interactive and gamified throughout. We were greeted by Raccoon City Police who had to check & stabilize us from the virus inside! (smoke gun was a nice touch) Try not to get bit by the zombies as you walk this literal graveyard and desolate streets with the infected everywhere! First, we played Resident Evil with 6 entertainment zones, took pics with cast members and received a prize by the scientist! Then we went into each haunted maze (I didn't wear enough deodorant for that!). The amount of detail, decor, scare actors, sounds & music throughout was incredible! We walked just slow enough to take it all in. Our faves in order--Scarecrow, Monsters, Texas Chainsaw & Exorcist. Afterwards, we had a couple of cocktails at the bar --the Severed Pear & GraveRobber --delish! And finally, we sat down for dinner at Premiere House Restaurant so we could also enjoy the Demeted Circus Show. A limited-engagement spectacle with a matching menu! We had Circus Truffle Fries, Circus Dumplings, Jack's Burger, Sinnel Cake & Jack's Juice (that rum cocktail was our fave!). Dancers, jugglers, hoola-hoopers, ribbon artists and JACK the clown--entertained us all night. Even roamed around talking with the crowd touching every table. This was truly an awesome experience and we hope you'll try it out for yourself!!! -INTRODeuce Las Vegas read more

We were in line 10 minutes early for our 2pm arrival. The line was already long! It took about 25 minutes to get through the line and security checkpoints. I really thought we were going to walked through 4 haunted houses and leave. Psh! Yeah right! There was so much more to this place! You had scare actors on the floor, above you and jumping out at random spots. We sat down to eat and didn't know they were going to have shows while you eat as well! We watched vampires speak to the crowd, clown juggling, choreographed dances and the black phone actor walk around the restaurant, and even, sit at your table! Awkward! Favorite haunted house, definitely was the monster house! Love the decor! I want to thank the wonderful scare actor with the white mask that roams the floor for scaring me 7 times! Everytime I turned around, there she was! My family loved that! Did not expect to be there until 6pm! We had a ball! Definitely worth the money for all the entertainment! read more

I definitely thought this would just be a waste of time and money after being to many haunted houses but I can say it's well worth it after going. You can tell by just walking in, they spent a lot of time and thought on everything even the haunted houses. The decor is too good. The scares will be spooky good so be prepared if you LOVE horror like I do. The scarecrow haunted house was awesome! There is a bar inside - drinks are around the $18-19 range. Lil expensive but if you wanna treat yourself do it. The little show with Jack the clown was very entertaining and kept the crowd enticed! read more

Halloween all year how great is that! What a fun way to spend your evening, getting scared and loving it. The parking garage on every floor the elevator doors are all painted differently, which is fun and helped you remember where you're parked. Area 15 has some great murals painted all over the place great artist in Las Vegas. Lots of different photo options again adding to some fun memories of your night out. Now inside the universal horror unleashed you'll find that there are at least three different bars with some great signature drinks, a restaurant to fill your bellies with some great dishes and then a stage area that they do a nightly performances, the decor and props are amazing along with some of the characters you'll see roaming around to greet you...then step into fright night of four different scare rooms, highly suggest you go to the restroom before entering any of them so you don't have a little accident when you get scared.!!! When you are leaving you'll exit through the gift shop so you have a chance to buy some souvenirs from all the scary events and then some. So bring your family and friends get your scare on! read more

would i go again? yeah! 8/10 came here for a yelp event and was so excited to check it out - especially since i've never been to a haunted house before! it was a good time! there are four different haunted houses, each with its own unique theme. a couple of them felt more focused on the storyline than being truly scary, but they were still fun to walk through! there are also a few bars throughout the venue offering specialty cocktails, which run about $15-$20 each. although i do have to say, they bartenders worked pretty slow. it could be the intricacy of the cocktails but it felt like there was no sense of urgency & we did wait about 10-20 minutes at least twice for drinks. read more

Joined a private Yelp event for this experience. I am not one that loves to be scared voluntarily, but I must admit - this was a FUN time. Great date night. The actors are amazing at their jobs and very creepy. Love all the photo opportunities (no flash). If you're a drinker, there are plenty of bar options. Food was okie dokie. I loved the chocolate mouse cake. read more

Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Scarecrow: The Reaping were definitely the scariest for me--they had the most jump scares and felt way more intense and immersive. I was literally on edge the whole time and kept getting anxiety lmao . The Monsters was more of that classic, nostalgic Halloween feel with all the iconic characters, which I really appreciated. It wasn't as scary, but still super fun to walk through and take in all the details. read more

First I have to mention that I was able to attend the YELP event tonight at universal horror tonight, and as every YELP event is this was phenomenal. Tastings from the available food choices including elotes, sticky bbq chicken lollipops, carne asada tacos, fruit kabobs, and the richest chocolate mousse cake. The food made available, all the tasting were so good, perhaps the chicken lollipops weren't the easiest to eat as a walk around bite, but the flavor was there. Drinks were available, skip the first bar to the left, with the clown theme, the service was very slow, walk farther back and you will find another bar. All of the haunted houses were worth the time, longest walk through with line was 12 minutes. The details and actors are great. Jump scares galore and if you are really lucky you will pair up with some strangers and end up going through the wrong door. This is one of those places you question the cost of, I get it, it isn't cheap, but I promise if you go you will have plenty of memories to look back on for years to come and that is the goal of life. Don't miss the stage shows!! read more

I happened to be in the area 3 days after it opened to the public and figured why not? It's located in Zone 2 of Area 15 so the ride share drop off is at the big parking garage directly across the street. As of right now, I think this might be the only attraction open although other things are coming soon. So I bought my tickets when I arrived. a Sunday ticket cost $89 (plus Vegas tax) so total was $98 I think. The overall vibe is awesome. Scareactors are everywhere and can pop out when you least expect it. There are a few places for drinks and food although prices are definitely higher (alcoholic drinks are $19 and food seemed about $14 and up). My only real complaint is that there is no communication for when the mazes are down for breaks or when the show starts. You literally wander over to a line and they tell you, oh sorry the scare actors are on break and then wait until you see people. Same with the show. They should post show times so that people know when the stage shows are happening. While I thought it was a cool experience, I did feel like it was overpriced for 4 haunted houses. I mean you can go to HHN and get 10 houses (plus shows) for the same price with cheaper food and drinks. read more

Always such a great time here!! I love coming here. The food and drinks are spot on with the theme of the horror nights. I like how they are changing all the themes througbout the year!! Keep it up!! read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would. Universal Horror Unleashed was my absolute favorite experience I've ever had as a Vegas local. First, I appreciate the fact that they have TSA level security to get in. It makes you feel incredibly safe. The scare actors are absolutely phenomenal!! They're all walking around and engaging with you and wanting to take pictures with you and try to scare you! I absolutely loved all of the mazes. My favorites were the universal monsters and scarecrow the reaping. I think all of the set design was done so authentic and detailed the entire time I was blown away by how much work was put into the mazes. And the attention to detail on all of the actors and how well they performed in all of the mazes. I really love the fact that they made it easy and accessible for anyone. The entire place is massive, and I love the fact that there are multiple areas for food and beverage. We went to the Premiere House for dinner and it was amazing! I absolutely love the food. We got one of the flatbreads, I think it was their green goddess salad or something I forget, but it was so good and then we got the death by chocolate desserts. I would say the only thing that I didn't like so much was the espresso martini, mocktail's didn't really taste like anything. But I also love the fact that while you're in the restaurant, they have actors come in and they have like little things here and there like the phone booth and then the phone would start ringing. I also really love that we had a view of the stage with the live entertainment that they have from outside the restaurant and it was so fun to watch. The prices at the restaurant were very reasonable. I really loved that it was affordable, especially with how much you pay to get in. The only thing I wish was that they had a set local price like all of the other attractions at Area 15 that did not fluctuate and was reasonable instead of it changing every day. I definitely paid way more money because I went on a Saturday then I would have if I went on a weekday and I don't like that on the website the prices are constantly changing and if you don't buy it before a certain date, the price goes up. I feel like they would get way more people in the door from a locals perspective if they had a local set price and then if they want to have fluctuating prices for tourists then that's fine. lol I would also love nothing more in this world for them to have a season pass because I absolutely loved it!! I wanna go again and again I just don't like the price being so high. And then the only other thing I didn't really like, but I understand them being part of Universal Studios was the photographers that would take your photo when you walk in and while you're going around and then they give you a card to hold onto to scan and then you would have to pay for it after if you wanted them for digital copies. Like I'm not the biggest fan of that in general when experiences do that, because if you're not even doing a print out copy and it's just digital when you can take photos with your own phone what's the purpose? Like if it was a free perk with your ticket, it could realistically be a really great way for marketing without really actually having to put too much work into it. But I absolutely loved Horror Unleashed I will 100% be going back in the future! But please make a season pass for locals I would go all the time! read more

The newest addition to the Area 15 location, it is located roughly a block behind the main building and there is a shuttle that is located on the left side of Area 15 building that can take you there. If you ever been to Universal Horror Night in California, then you will be disappointed in this one. This one only consists of only 4 haunted houses where you can go through all of them less than an hour if there was no wait. The layout of the haunted houses made it hard to keep the pace without things being spoiled. I would have to wait extra 5-10 seconds before I enter the next area so I can be surprised or else I would know what is coming from the front of the group ahead of me. I did enjoy the live performance that was in the middle of the venue, the actors/actresses did very well in hyping up the audience. The decor was nice, they had a photo op for some of the Blum House movies such as "The Black Phone" and "Megan". Pizza Skull($12)- A pepperoni and mozzarella stuffed skull with marinara sauce that was fun to eat but nothing special in particular Green Monster($13)- A healthy salad with edamame, avocado, cucumber, pumpkin seed and green monster dressing. The dressing was better than I expected for a regular salad Texas Chainsaw($13)- Sausage, pepperoni, mozzarella and spicy tomato flatbread. Very disappointed that it only had 4 pieces of pepperoni and barely any sausage. This place is still very new and it has a lot of potential in the future but as of right now currently it was not worth the $80+ in my opinion. I look forward to the future and how they will improve Visited September 2025 read more

The place is a nice decent sized venue of what could've been great for now. It's OK for instance Texas chainsaw, massacre, and universal horror nights the name itself when I think of that name or brand I expect at least those actual chainsaws that they use from universal horror nights, but with this one it's a pre-recorded chainsaw and seems to be almost like a rubber material chainsaw. I miss the smell of that gas and the actual motor roaring while being chased by leather face I don't know something about this place is just missing that. Final touch not to mention some of the mazes are not dark enough for a jump scare. I do believe there's a potential just not at this moment and for the price point that's like actually paying for the main horror nights in LA with just a quarter of the maze. read more

If you're not planning to eat or drink anything here, you'll probably be done with the mazes in about half an hour like we were. Every maze was very well done with incredibly high quality props, sets, sound effects and lighting effects that only Universal Studios could have achieved, my favorite being the scarecrow maze (I wish this was a movie. I'm pretty sure that some of the mazes will eventually be replaced by other themes and franchises as the years go by but these four are pretty amazing and should be experienced if you're a big fan of Halloween Horror Nights. read more

My friend was fortunate enough to grab us tickets for the soft opening free of cost. Initially, I wanted to give it 5 stars. For $40-$50, this place would be nice for a Halloween activity or just to bring friends through when they are visiting as tourists. However, the facility is utilizing peak pricing like theme parks do - only certain days are $59 (that's the local price, yikes) and some days get up to $89+ at peak pricing. For what the experience is, I think that's an exorbitant amount to ask of patrons and borders on insulting. There are four haunted houses on site. While they are very well constructed and themed, they may feel underwhelming for some. Being a huge nervous wreck, I liked that I could see where the scare actors would potentially be before they jumped out. I still felt properly startled, but I know people seeking high thrills may not love that aspect. The houses are incredibly short. I think some took us about 5 mins max. This wouldn't be an issue if the price wasn't so steep. Surely the bars with themed food and drinks will rake in the dough for the facility. I'm not sure why tickets need to be nearly the cost for the actual Halloween Horror Nights theme park experience. The free shows included with admission were lackluster in my honest opinion. The dancing was talent-filled, but I don't believe it adds very much to the experience and feels a little out of place. Perhaps more demonstrations with the scare actors on the floor would feel better suited for the environment. We attended a clown dance show, which felt like an adult dance recital with a thinly veiled horror theme. The actors who walk around and interact with patrons were probably the most fun part. There are living statues, bloody cheerleaders, mad scientists, and serial killers in the mix that engage with people in various ways. I found it quite fun and felt like it added to the ambiance of the experience. Lastly, the interior of the building is stunning. The theming of this facility is where they really knocked it out of the park. It's very immersive. You really feel like you're in a huge, abandoned warehouse with rusty old machinery. The lighting and setup of everything is very well done. If anything, the construction of the haunted houses and building itself reflects the ticket price more than anything. I'm sure it costs a hefty amount to keep all the scare actors employed year round 8 hours a day, but in my humble opinion, that was a silly choice the creators made to pass that cost burden onto their patrons rather than create something spectacular that is open maybe only 5 months of the year instead. The merchandise in the gift shop is also very high quality for the cost of the items. There's genuinely something for everyone there, so you'll probably want to come prepared to spend a little extra cash on a souvenir at the end. We were a bit let down that the experience was cut short. Their hours of operation state they close at 10pm, but they shut down all the attractions at 9:30, so there's really not much to do except hang out for 30 minutes and have a drink, which is probably calculated. Parking was mostly a breeze. It's easiest to park in the A lot and take a tram over to the Horror Unleashed building. The trams come fairly often, but it wasn't packed when we went, so they may get a little more backed up once spooky season hits. We were incredibly grateful for the opportunity to attend, and it was tempting to rate higher due to the experience being complimentary and our love of heavily themed places. However, I had to write my review with the every day patron in mind, and I feel they don't get enough with the experience to make it worth the price point. read more

I just went last night and I just keep telling everyone about what a great time we had! Yes, it is just 4 mazes and 1 show and I wish there were more, but the ones that are there: universal monsters, Texas chainsaw massacre, scarecrows, and the exorcist, are so well done and amazing. As a disappointed long time attended of horror nights in Hollywood, I really appreciated the time they take to space out the parties so you really get all the scares and get to appreciate the set. All the scare actor characters I got to interact with were so much fun!!! The desserts at the Demented Circus was really good! I can't wait to go again!! read more

Out of all the experiences I had in Vegas, this one wasn't worth the dollars. For one thing, they take the no outside food and drinks policy so seriously that not only couldn't I bring a water bottle in, but not even a single apple. The primary reason for the apple was hydration and health related, making sure my energy levels didn't crash. This is especially frustrating when so many of the food and drink options, including water, are triple the price compared to other options in Area 15. In addition, there is heavier security at UHU, not only a higher number per square foot than at HHN Hollywood, but seemingly more than at the Flamingo Casino. So much so that they appeared to outnumber the floor scare actors 12 to 1, and there were at least one or two scare actors active per zone when I was there in the early evening. Though I am aware of the number of security guards who work the metal detectors, are stationed near the exits, monitor the security room, and make patrols, the fact that security guards seemed to outnumber scare actors in such close proximity was culture shock to me. There are currently four mazes at UHU: Scarecrow: The Reaping, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Exorcist: Believer, and Universal Monsters. Out of all the mazes, The Exorcist: Believer was the most immersive, rewarding, and enjoyable. However, unlike HHN Hollywood, where you can buy a General Admission ticket and go through a maze again and again as long as you are willing to wait, you have to purchase the Unlimited Access ticket, almost a hundred dollars before taxes, just to have that option. The mazes average about four to five minutes in length, meaning it would take between 16 and 20 minutes total to experience all four. There are performances at UHU, but the show featuring Jack the Clown and Chance, called *Conversations with Chaos* at the Premiere House, requires you to secure a table and purchase a drink before the doors close. I wasn't able to see the show and could only hear the voices through the walls. I didn't purchase any food or alcohol at UHU, only a sparkling water to hydrate myself, which cost nearly nine dollars for a single can. After about 70 minutes, I was pretty much done. Compared to other horror or haunt options available during this time, such as watching *Obsession* at the local cinema, purchasing the three day pass for Midsummer Scream, or even attending Horror Nights in Hollywood or Orlando, Universal Horror Unleashed is a pass for me in its current form. Unless they introduce an annual membership pass for frequent visitors with discounts or expand the attraction to include a fifth or sixth maze experience, it is difficult to justify returning. read more

Had to read up on Yelp & Google reviews to get a gist of what to expect here. Living in San Diego, we've indulged in Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood. Paying that pretty penny for the VIP Experience. Seeing that Horror Unleashed has two types of admission: General (visiting each scare house/ once) & Unlimited. Then factor in, Nevada resident (or tourist) and the time of year you visit. Since our visit was a few days from Halloween- the price bumped up a few bucks. I like the staggered timed entrance. And with that in mind, reading past reviews- we knew the time inside the scare houses was quick and brief. After the first 2 scare house visits, we'd "catch our breath" and pull up to the bar right in front of The Monsters house. That's when we roamed further towards the back & noticed the Blumhouse/ Premiere House. We wanted some nibbles & hydration. From a quick peek at Rough Cuts menu- here at Premiere House- it's a different food menu. Tons of seats and you can watch clips from past and upcoming Blumhouse productions. We didn't want the advertised Chili Cheese fries. Just baskets of French fries. And, whoa! I'm curious if these are hand made fresh cut, made to order fries! I was able to get the Graverobber cocktail with Casamigos Blanco instead of Cuervo. Mixed with Chambord, guava & lime- it was sweet, colorful & tasty. Black Lagoon Bites: Pork & shrimp sui mai. About 5 resting in a savory broth of sweet chili oil and seaweed. If it weren't for my cocktail and glass of Liquid IV water, I would gulp all of that broth from the bowl. Cool take on Funnel'd Shrimp (3) tacos. Funnel cake fried shrimp, red cabbage slaw, & chili aioli drizzled onto the slaw. Red and green salsa, for more flavor. For the price of entry, yes- many mixed reviews about what you're paying for. But, if you come to just chill and take your time inside UHU, and watch others get scared by actors roaming around... it's a good time. I get scared easily! I tend to watch Horror/ Slash films during the daytime with the curtains open. The actors did amazing jobs. Instead of guests waiting too long in a line- staff will tell guests, the attraction will open in (x amount of minutes). Great attention to detail in the props, makeup, & costumes. Even when you enter a scare house and wait a few (timed entrance) the set up is amazing. For Monsters: you get the ghoulish graveyard. Scarecrow, you get that corn maze. LOVED how the wind blows and you can hear & see the corn stalks swaying. FUN FACT: For Texas Chainsaw Massacre- We Slaughter BBQ is a real location in Bastrop, Texas. This was ONE of our planned stops in Texas 2024 when we rode out motorcycles from San Diego. It's an actual filming location from the 197 read more

The mazes all seemed very similar and way too loud for comfort. We enjoy Reign of Terror in Thousand Oaks much more.

This is a must do for either tourists or locals alike. The haunted houses are top notch and have excellent effects. The food is really fun. The staff were amazing, I really felt like they did such a good job making sure I had a fun time. The experience was really mind-blowing. I'm reccommending to all my friends. read more

Maybe it was the night we went but it wasn't all that. Best rooms were the Exorcist and scarecrow, monsters were okay, Texas Chainsaw was lame. I'd be willing to try again, but no time soon. The unlimited pass is not worth it IMO read more

You go through not knowing where the jump scare are--they let each party go separately. Very interactive and they even scare you outside of the haunted houses.

I had such a fun time at Universal Horror Unleashed. Everything was so detailed, from the mazes to the buildings. You can tell they really put their heart into creating it. The actors and employees were amazing and made it so much fun to walk through. They were all so into their roles and really made the experience feel alive. My favorite maze was Scarecrow The Reaping. It was creepy in the best way and the design was incredible. We didn't try any of the food or drinks this time, but the Boiler Bar looked super cool. I'm already excited to go back next year. They have a cool gift shop to visit as well. If you like Knots Scary Farm or Universal Horror Nights, this is definitely for you. I can't wait to see how the rest of the area develops around AREA15. read more

Fun night out with the girls. There are four different mazes with different themes. The scariest one to me was the exorcist. Prepared to get scared, loud noises, and people in your face, but in a fun way. They don't touch you, but they will linger. If anyone is familiar with knott's scary farm it's the same vibe. We ate at the restaurant and the food was actually good and reasonably priced the chili cheese fries were bomb and the sliders were pretty good. read more

This huge warehouse containing 4 different theme haunted houses with bars and restaurants is a treat! It's created by Universal Studios so you know they can deliver scary entertainment all year! The themed haunted houses feature impressive set pieces and several actors to give you the right amount of scare. The themed bars and restaurants really adds to the atmosphere with the interesting themed drinks and food. As part of the Area15 complex, it's best to purchase tickets online first and be prepared to do a lot of walking to explore the area. Definitely one of the more unique and interesting things to see and do in Vegas. read more

As a Universal Studios fan, I am impressed woth the production of this place! To be honest I get scared easily but I needed to see what it was all about. There are several bars I tried the Severed Pear cocktail with bourbon, spiced pear liqueur and bitters. Perfectly spiced for the holidays and presented in a smoky barrel! We even saw live performances of Krampus and the icelandic troll to bring in the spirit!

"Everyday is Halloween" - Ministry. Universal Horror Unleashed - open all year 'round except for stated closures and holidays. I hope this concept works on the general public because I even if I can see the beauty of scary things and Halloween all year around, I am not sure if this kind of venue will attract the majority of the population during winter or spring; maybe summer, because it's so doggone hot, and just coming here for the A/C would be a welcome (expensive) treat. PRICE: For 2 on a Sunday, one-time access to the haunted houses. You can stay in the venue as long as you like but you can only access each haunted house once. If you'd like to purchase an unlimited amount of entrances to all the houses, you have to buy a more expensive package. General Admission Ticket (One-Time Access)* $89.00 x 2 Tickets $178.00 Nevada Live Entertainment Tax $16.02 Total $194.02 We spent about 4 hours here, or about $49 an hour, excluding the $19 cocktails w/ tip and the parking fee at Area 15 (apparently now parking has opened up near Univeral Horror and you don't need to catch the free Tram or walk). I cannot compare this to the Hollywood location or Knotscary Farms as I have not been to either. CONS first: - horrible execution of having the main entrance in the blaring sun with no shade and no seating. You can walk across to a small area that has misters and some seating but you will lose your place in line. - ticket time said 2 PM admission on our ticket, they were late opening the doors, not how you run things with paying customers. - security check worse than TSA, with workers shouting and yelling with an inflated sense of self-worth. Security is important, but don't treat customers like criminals! They need to seriously sound-engineer the security check in area so it will stop echoing and bouncing off the walls. We could barely make out what they were shouting. - waiting time period to go into different haunts, which was OK with us, because we had nowhere else to go after, but if you're on a time schedule, you'll have to wait; make sure you don't have dinner reservations or somewhere to go after. - Scarecrow the Reaping had hanging 'cornstalks' that were made of rubber or latex and one of the 'leaves' poked me in the corner of my eye, posing a possible safety issue, and there is no choice, you have to walk through them. - gift shop w/ a really small amount of limited merchandise. I'm shocked at my own disinterest in finding anything to purchase. The only thing remotely interesting was Bates Motel-branded towel with 'blood' stains on them but the towels were thin and of the worse quality at $35 each, maybe more variety and a better price will boost sales. - pricey admission, but understandable, given the heating/cooling cost, property tax, worker's wages and compensation, maintenance, security, utilities, insurance policies, licenses, corporate taxes, red tape, contracts, etc etc. PROS: - high quality props and lighting, of course, movie-set quality. - most of the workers were very nice and in character - yes, it's a warehouse, what does one expect instead? Nice cooling and A/C. I loved the ambience, especially the bar with the steaming train. - pricey cocktails at $19 each but very good and buzz-worthy, a 4/5 star buzz rating (and that's saying a lot) - the shows are top-notch (included w/ admission) - clean bathrooms (for now) - free shuttle service between Area 15 to/from Universal Horror. You can walk it, but it can be brutal in the heat. - nice floor sets and displays - scare actors on the floor can sense if you want to interact w/ them and they will leave you alone if your body language suggests they stay away. - food options available (we didn't eat here). What would make it better: **Universal, hit me up if you want ideas. I won't charge you. ** - shade, misty and cool entrance w/ seating while waiting outside; protection from the elements. - sound proof security check in, w/ courteous staff - remove pointy objects that can hurt someone's eyes (hint: cornstalks) - creepy mind bending music and movements vs jump scare at every location - better horror/occult/dark but tasteful merchandise w/ elevated displays and more selection. The merch felt and looked cheap because the displays were industrial-looking and not very provoking or intriguing. Some of the lighting and props that were used in the haunted houses could be incorporated into the gift shop. - more cozy "nooks" and spooky crannies incorporated into the wide open industrial warehouse space, in tune with Meow Wolf type displays, where interactive spaces encourage participation. Hey, they should partner up. I am sure Meow Wolf can create some pretty spooky smaller rooms for Universal Horror. Return factor: Definitely will return. read more

Wow I am so Thankful first and foremost for Universal Horror Unleashed and Yelp for putting this amazing event together. It exceeded all of my expectations and more. From the minute you walk onto the grounds of Universal you start feeling like a kid and get all excited! The amazing set up and layout of everything is beyond amazing ! Our private event space was large enough for all of us, the security staff, waiters and waitresses as well as cooks and all other staff were top notch. Now the food , Oh my gosh lollipop chicken , tacos, rice and refried beans, salad, cookies, fruit, cake, oh yea and way more everything was exceptional and there was no shortage of food.

Universal really unleashed the thrills and fun with this one! As soon as you step in and you're immediately immersed in this eerie and mysterious world. Low lighting, dark atmosphere, and unique scary characters moving around engaging with you. There are impressively elaborate bars and restaurants to dine in, and entertaining performances to captivate. The wandering scare actors especially stood out to us because they weren't the typical horror characters we're used to seeing. A lot of really cool original designs! The houses are on another level in terms of scale, design, and impact. They are bigger, more detailed, and way more cinematic than what we expected or are used to at HHN. Universal Monsters was our favorite and easily the standout for us! It's probably our favorite haunted house we've ever experienced. Seeing all the classic Monsters in their unique worlds was so cool! Some of the sets were beyond impressive we walked in and our jaws dropped. Scarecrow was another one we kept going back to. The environments in that house are especially well done, and it had some of the most unpredictable scares of the night. The actors are incredible, they delivered some scary fun surprises and even switched it up when we went through again so it stayed thrilling and engaging. Not only is this place open year round, but there are no lines, you're in a climate controlled space, and they space out the house entry so you get to experience all the scares. It's everything HHN fans could dream of. We can't wait to go back! read more

Going back for the second time next week. I went originally shortly after opening and it was a blast! I see ticket prices have gone down a lot since which is good because I did think prices were a little steep for what they were offering especially compared to not only HHN at universal offering a whole theme park in addition but also to the other Area15 attractions. The four houses are HHN level and so much fun! My favorite part is unlike HHN you only go into the houses with your group so you are getting the scared EVERYTIME and I often fell victim at HHN to being right behind the people getting scared so missed out but that's not the case here! The shows are great; Jack the clown and some other small acts. The scare actors that roam are super fun and love to play along! There are two dining options, Rough Cuts is quick service and a limited menu then there's Premiere House which is themed to Blumhouse and has a full bar and menu. It's perfect for horror lovers and they have themed dishes! Most of them while good, I probably wouldn't get again but the Boiler Bread was absolutely fantastic and tasting it again can't come soon enough! I can't wait to visit for their seasonal "Feaster Grievings" event and menu! read more

This place was a blast. Definitely recommend if you like scary. The haunted houses are put together very well and the chainsaw one scared me the most. There's actors wandering the whole venue and little sideshows going on: all the staff we encountered was nice. We ate there and Daniel was our server. He's awesome. We had the pizza skulls and the chocolate dessert. So yummy and the holy water cocktail is delicious. Can't wait to go back! read more

Something is missing and I don't know what but we had a wonderful, WONDERFUL time, and I hope this place survives and continues to evolve and create. Mazes were so fun and way more Orlando HHN style than LA HHN style with AMAZING effects, great scare-actors, and good pacing. We weren't shuffled through the mazes and that was a wonderful feeling. The warehouse itself was filled with a few shows (which were so fun! And very Vegas-y), lots of roaming actors (truly talk to them and interact with them) who really added to the lore and atmosphere. We did eat at the blumhouse themed bar/restaurant right when it opened and this was the most frustrating part of our visit. Again, the staff was sooooo nice but the bartender was overwhelmed. It's either understaffed or ill timed but I think pulsing patrons at the bar would have been better than letting in a wave. That being said, the drinks were alright and at the expected prices. The real star was the Boiler Bread which was FANTASTIC. If you enjoy pumpernickel and cheese get it, even if you don't you should still consider it. It was lovely! The gift shop was alright but lacked some weird touristy gifts like postcards, stickers, and more branded keychains. Or maybe they were out during our visit? Either way, I was a little bummed because some designs were amazing (the Vegas sign!) but the merch was very narrow. Anyway, went in with no expectations and left hoping to return when their mazes are freshened up! read more

Definitely a fun way to spend an evening...if you're into all things "horror" this is a great experience. Dining, spooky themed cocktails, and various entertainment all inside one venue. Four different themed haunted house experiences that will surely make you scream! Air conditioner was cranked so it felt nice and cool inside. Friendly staff and hosts. Good job Universal for bringing something different to Vegas. read more

Wow, definitely disappointed. I'm a huge Halloween fan. I do the Horror events every year, at both Universal Studios Halloween Horror and Knotts Scary Farm. I live in Southern California, so I get to go to Universal Studios Halloween Horror in Hollywood California, as often as I'd like. That was the bar for me. Set pretty high. This could be good for someone who lives locally and doesn't have the ability to make the trip to California. I wouldn't recommend this event to anyone from California. You should just go to the Hollywood location. Don't waste your time with this one. It's child's play compared to Universal Studios Halloween Horror Hollywood. The mazes were mediocre and very short. Expect for the Universal Monsters maze. That was really stood out as being great. The production was there, the special effects, and the costumes. It seemed like the other mazes were the left-over costumes and actors who didn't care about their jobs lol Exorcist, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Scare crow were not scary and they were lacking overall. Sure, the sets and production were good. That was across the board with all of the mazes. Which makes sense though, since this is a year-round event. It's not a pop-up event like Hollywood. So, the sets should be better. At least in my mind. They really need to add more mazes. 4 mazes for the same cost of admission as Universal Studios Hollywood, is insane. We need more mazes and scare zones. There was one scare zone that I saw. It was the bride and groom standing still, and then they would jump out at you. That was the scare "zone." That's really subpar compared to Hollywood. The Hollywood location has several scare zones with multiple monsters lurking in the shadows. It's super fun and scary. The bride and groom were not scary. Needed more actors, more smoke, a bigger space for the zone. It was tiny. Just a walkway really. They had a place for food and a bar. Sure, the themes of these areas were great. It looked spooky at the food area and the bar. Menus were limited though. Good luck if you are vegan or vegetarian or have some dietary limitation. More food options would be great. I did like the vampire photo opportunity they had. That was awesome! Right outside Universal Monsters, was two vampires. Those costumes looked amazing. Not cheap or gimmicky looking. You could take a photo with both of them. Super cool! We did all 4 mazes, walked past the scare zone, walked around the warehouse and checked out the food situation, all in under an hour and a half. So, we weren't there for very long. There just wasn't much to do honestly. Not worth the admission price. I'm imaging this when it gets more crowded, people packed in a small warehouse, waiting in long lines, with not much to do but drink alcohol lol Yikes! read more
