Escape Blair Witch
From the creators of The Official SAW Escape: Las Vegas, the world’s first immersive escape experience based on the Saw film franchise, Escape Blair Witch puts participants in an equally thrilling situation. Inspired by The Blair Witch Project, the 1999 supernatural horror flick that took box offices by storm, the new attraction drops participants into a middle-of-the-forest ranger’s station — and it’s up to them to escape the clutches of the sinister Blair Witch.
Museum of Monsters
If you’re searching for the perfect Halloween photo op experience, look no further.

Start practicing your very best frightened faces.
Freakling Bros. Gates of Hell
The haunts of Freakling Bros. Horror Shows have been terrifying Las Vegas for almost three decades. This Halloween, the local purveyors of fright add a new experience, The Men’s Room, to their award-winning Gates of Hell haunt. Nevada’s first and only R-rated haunted house attraction, Gates of Hell is just one among a trilogy of supreme scares. Coven of 13 and Castle Vampyre complete this year’s offerings, giving fright-seekers a dash of spooky spells and some blood-sucking surprises to round out their haunting experience.
Zak Bagans’ The Haunted Museum
Looking for a bone-chilling thrill? Zak Bagans’ The Haunted Museum is filled with spooky artifacts that would even give Ed and Lorraine Warren (of The Conjuring fame) some serious nightmares. The final resting place for haunted items (like Bela Lugosi’s cursed mirror and the fake teeth of notorious cult leader Charles Manson), the museum adds creepy lighting and theatrics to give the curious the goosebumps they’ve been longing for.
Museum of Selfies
Looking to show off that costume to all your followers? Take some ‘Gram-worthy pics at the Museum of Selfies, which boasts themed decorations and a new Halloween attraction starting in mid-October. Museum guests wearing costumes on Halloween receive a $5 discount on entry to the museum, located at The LINQ Promenade.
