Explore the Adventures Awaiting You at Area15
The Expansive World of Area15
Nestled in the heart of Las Vegas, Area15 unfolds as a colossal, experiential entertainment district, akin to a choose-your-own-adventure playground. With an exciting 20-acre expansion on the horizon, it’s shaping up to be an even larger theme park of experiences. The notable addition, Zone 2: The Terminals, unveiled this fall’s attraction Universal Horror Unleashed, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg! Multiple engaging attractions have since made their debut, each one adding a unique touch to the immersive journey that awaits. Here’s a closer look at what’s captivating visitors.
Interstellar Arc: A Journey Beyond Imagination
The Experience
Interstellar Arc offers a thrilling voyage aboard a massive spacecraft destined for the habitable world of Arcadia. While you’ll spend the vast majority of your 262-year trek in cryogenic sleep, you’re given the chance to explore the ship for a full hour. And for just $74—less for locals and military personnel—this extraordinary trip is a seriously good deal, especially when compared to some traditional theme park costs.
Unique Design
Crafted by Felix & Paul Studios, known for their groundbreaking virtual reality projects, the experience pushes the envelope of immersion. Visitors don VR headsets, transforming into a generic figure clad in a spacesuit, yet the environment is sprawling and breathtaking. Navigate through an imaginative realm designed to dazzle: with every step, you’re guided not just by a glowing blue fox avatar but also by tangible handrails. Marvel at alien vistas and the captivating spacecraft interiors—a visual feast that evokes wonder and excitement.
Emotional Impact
Beyond its technical splendor, many participants report an unexpected emotional high. For an hour, you’re enveloped in a sense of optimism, believing in a better universe just a spacecraft’s journey away. It’s an experience that leaves an impression long after you remove the headset.
