The Las Vegas City Council has approved a project in the vicinity of the AREA15 entertainment complex. The “New Vegas Immersive District” will feature a 200-room hotel and a 100,000-square-foot horror experience in collaboration with Universal Parks and Resort. Originally announced in 2023 as a stand-alone attraction called “Universal Horror Unleashed,” the footprint has since expanded from 20 to 36 acres and the hotel added, with a scheduled opening in 2025. Longer-range plans for the district include 585 multifamily housing units and 320,000 square feet of office space.
