History
In January 2023, Universal announced a new "horror experience" called Universal Horror Unleashed, which serves as the anchor tenant of the Vegas Immersive District, a 35-acre expansion of Area15.[3][4][5] Unlike Universal's seasonal Halloween Horror Nights events, it is a permanent and year-round fixture, occupying a 110,000-square-foot (2.5-acre) space.[6][7] On March 8, 2023, NBCUniversal's theme park division Universal Parks & Resorts changed their name to Universal Destinations & Experiences.[8]
Construction began in October 2023,[9] with the walls erected by December 18, 2023.[10][11] The attraction will consist of four haunted houses based on The Exorcist: Believer[a], The Texas Chain Saw Massacre[b], "Universal Monsters", and "Scarecrow: The Reaping".[12] On February 10, 2025, Area15 announced their Vegas Immersive District is 60% pre-leased, including Universal Horror Unleashed.[13] On February 19, 2025, Universal announced the attraction will open on August 14, 2025.[2] The attraction will include "Jack's Alley", a bar and entertainment center themed to Jack the Clown.[14][15]
