John Wick Interactive Attraction
Las Vegas is a place that is known for its fantastic hotels and casino resorts, and many people head there for gaming entertainment and luxury hotel stays each year. However, it is also a place that is known for unique and exciting entertainment opportunities, and an upcoming new attraction has recently been revealed.
According to reports, an immersive John Wick attraction will be heading to Las Vegas later this year. The news was unveiled recently by franchise owner Lionsgate Entertainment and will prove exciting for the many fans of the John Wick movies.
The AREA15 John Wick Experience will be located in a standalone building, and Lionsgate officials said that it will offer 12,000 square feet of immersive theater as well as a unique experience for visitors.
A Thrilling Experience for Visitors
The new experience, which will be heading to Las Vegas later this year, promises a thrilling experience for visitors. According to the information released so far, those visiting will be placed in groups, with each group having a certain mission.
A release from Lionsgate claims that visitors to the attractions will find themselves:
Playing out in unique ways with characters, mythology, and iconography from the Wick universe.
It went on to say that visitors will be “drawn into the culture, trusted with secrets, and invited to private areas of the Continental.”
The John Wick franchise, which stars the Hollywood superstar Keanu Reeves, has proven to be a big hit among moviegoers around the world.
The new attraction is likely to appeal to huge numbers of visitors and could help to boost tourism in the area even more by bringing in people from other parts of the country – or even the world – to check out the new facility.
There will also be other amenities at the facility for visitors to enjoy. These include a John Wick shop where they can purchase all sorts of franchise-related goodies, and a themed bar where visitors aged 21 and over can enjoy a relaxing drink before or after their thrilling experience.
AREA15 comprises a number of warehouses and is situated a couple of miles from the main Las Vegas Strip. It has become popular among the younger crowd, with many frequenting the area for nights out and drinking. It is also home to Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart art universe.
Officials Excited About Opening
This experience is the result of a collaboration between AREA15, Lionsgate, franchise director Chad Stahelski, and Egan Productions. Officials involved with the project said that they are very excited about the opening, and thrilled that fans of the franchise will be able to enjoy an immersive themed experience in the heart of Las Vegas.
Stahelski said that it was ‘gratifying’ to see people take such an interest in the story and the characters, whether it was through the movies or through experiences such as this. He added that he was very excited about the prospect of fans being able to enjoy this experience in Las Vegas.
The movie franchise has done very well financially, with the last installment, John Wick 4, earning $440 million at the US box office.
