Universal Horror Unleashed

Had an absolutely awesome time here and would come back. Got here around 4:30pm on a Sunday and security line was quick + employees were super friendly. The aesthetic and vibe of this place are insane, even outside of the houses. The horror actors do a great job and are dedicated to staying in character. We decided to grab a drink before hitting the first house at the front bar, which was awesome. After that, we went to the bar in the back by Jack’s area and had absolutely incredible drinks - the experience was even better thanks to our bartender Ashley. She was super personable, friendly, and gave excellent recommendations. We came back twice and then she recommended the Severed Pear at the main bar - which packs a massive punch and also is incredible. Major shoutout to her, she made the experience even better. As far as the houses go, the sets are unmatched and immersive. I’m a big horror / haunted house fan so I didn’t find them to be too scary, but they’re very well done and the scare actors absolutely kill it. In terms of most favorite to least favorite, I’d say Monsters, Scarecrow, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and then Exorcist. They’re all great honestly. Lines weren’t bad at all, I think we maybe waited 15 minutes max for one of the houses. Overall, I’d absolutely come back when back in Vegas. The houses were great, the bartenders were friendly and personable (shoutout Ashley), the drinks were fantastic, and the experience was awesome. If you have a few hours to spend and wanna just have some fun, I’d say it’s worth it.

Super fun time! 🎃 Here are a few reasons I’d recommend checking this haunted house out: 1. I didn’t see any kids under 16, so it’s perfect if you’re looking for a fun Halloween date night without little ones running around. 2. The food and drinks at Premier House Restaurant were surprisingly good — definitely worth stopping by for a quick bite before or after. 3. There were three bars, so always a chance to grab a drink in between houses. 🍹 4. The staff was really friendly and helped make the night even better. 5. I don’t get scared easily, but I still had a few good jump scares — which says a lot! 👻 Things that could be improved: 1. If you’re more than 15 minutes late to your ticket time, they make you get a new timed ticket at the box office, which seemed to happen a lot. The box office line was pretty long and ate up a good chunk of time — so definitely plan to arrive early or right on time. 2. The space was smaller than expected, and I agree with other reviews that the general admission price feels high for the size and quality. If you’ve got money to spend, it’s a fun night out and worth it for the halloween experience. But if you’re on a budget, this could feel like a bit of a splurge since drinks are pricey inside too. If you’re paying for two people, just know your empty wallet might end up being the scariest part of the night! 💸😅 Overall: A great option for adults looking for a spooky, social night out — just go in knowing it’s more about the fun atmosphere, drinks, and vibe than a super intense haunt.

This was one of the most fun things Ive done in vegas. Ever been to universal horror nights? Well this is it but may be better for the small setting. It has 3 bars and a restaurant. 4 haunted mazes. Texas chainsaw was the best one! They had live performances and acts. Also dancers and a krampus parade. So good!

I visited Universal Horror Unleashed with my partner and my daughter over the holiday break. We were very impressed with the set designs, house themes, actors within the houses and roaming around the facility, and the overall vibe of the place. The free shows (Krampus parade, Clown-wedding thing) were decent enough. We ordered some drinks at the bar and they were very good, even thought the bartender was super slammed (get him some help on a Saturday, guys!) he was really cool and patient and helpful. What wasn't necessarily cool was the $89 holiday pricing, plus the $20 drink cost for specialties (drafts were closer to $10 but still pricey for 16oz). I realize the goal is to make money, but the overall value was not there during this time. We spent about two and a half hours exploring all four houses and the bars and watching shows, and that cost us close to $300. Do yourself a favor and come on a weekday, and if you can, use the local pricing. DO NOT get the "scary cat" tickets (cheapest, but with no houses) because you're basically just paying to enter a horror-themed bar at that point. A few other notes: the houses are average length. Don't rush through them like so many people do! Ask your attendant to queue you longer and then take your time to experience it all. Houses open on a schedule, and close periodically throughout the day, so once you get there check the schedule to plan your attack. Unless you're a big drinker or you want to spend tons of money in the gift shop, you don't want to be waiting 45 minutes for the final house to open. There is a small food stall inside for standard things like pulled pork sandwiches and fries, but it is expensive. Plan on $20 per person in your party if you're all going to eat. There is a larger restaurant on site as well, but we did not visit that and it opened around 4. Manage your expectations. I went in expecting a more seamless experience in which you could travel through a "set" and everything (bars, house entrances, restrooms) were all integrated in and you could "get lost" in the theme. This was not that; still pretty cool but definitely did not reach it's full potential. In fact, it kind of felt like that was the original goal, and then executives "noted" the project to death and removed everything that could have made the experience that much better. For the owners: when it's time to remodel (as all things in Vegas need after a short while) do yourself a favor. Make the rest of the facility look like like the line queues for the houses. Curn mazes, dilapidated exteriors of buildings, outdoor and indoor sets that people can roam around in and find hidden curiosities... build a more immersive experience on the outside and people will stay longer and spend more money.

We go to all the horror events Universal Hollywood, Knotts Scary … Universal Unleashed is the ultimate experience from the minute you enter. Actors are fantastic, it’s a vibe in there, the houses all really well done. If you like this kind of thing it’s definitely worth doing. We will go every time we are in Vegas! Shout out to the “Head of Operations” Margaret aka Rosie the Riveter type who taught us the Charleston. As well as the girl pretending to be lost in Texas Chainsaw!

I'm not really reviewing the universal horror I usually review restaurants' universal horror was very cool. But here's my review on the food. The bread thing we got, we didn't like. But the cheese dip with it was amazing. Our sliders were good, but a bit dry and dipping in it in the cheese dip was so delicious. The waiter was really nice and it's very cool that every once in a while, horror characters come out. So the food is 3/5 without the dip. The experience was 5/5.

As a massive fan of HHN in Hollywood, I was excited to experience Horror Unleashed. I was not disappointed, the immersion was great, set designs were impeccable, scare actors were amazing and fun. Though there may only be 4 houses/mazes, they spared no expense - they felt longer than the ones in Hollywood, and the jump scares were second to none. But what stood out above all, they split the groups up, allowing each group to experience the house more intimately. Since I went alone, it was terrifyingly cool! The Blumhouse restaurant was awesome, seeing the Grabber an M3GAN walking around was a cool touch! Overall, awesome job Universal! You definitely fed my need for scares, and I’ll be back as soon as I can.

This is a must for horror aficionados, but needs some refinement for the average Halloween Horror Nights attendee. There are traditional haunted house mazes, a few “scare zone” shows (which seemed like after thoughts), and then large featured bar or dining areas. They did a decent job of creating an overall spooky atmosphere; some additional decor and detail in these common areas could go a long way to improve the attraction. I liked all the mazes, except for Scarecrow The Reaping - a repetitive experience with little set design. The queue line was more interesting - with fog and wind effects - than the maze itself. The builds of the other mazes were on point and beautifully rendered. Each had an immersive “scene” based on theme. This was a great idea! This worked well when the guests were well modulated, but created problems when not. They may want to considere a second modulation point right before the scene to make this smoother. My favorite was the Exorcist maze. Those “possessed” scare actors were on point and the overall experience was well designed. I recommend going at times with fewer attendees, as the scare actors can be more engaging without inadvertently being interrupted. As a horror fan, I had a really good time. With some improvements, I think this could be a GREAT time.
