Las Vegas is gearing up for a Halloween season filled with spooky experiences, as local haunts open their creaky doors to thrill-seekers and ghost hunters. Las Vegas Haunts is leading the way, opening this weekend with its famous attractions: The Asylum and Hotel Fear. These experiences will open at 6:30 p.m. and feature a chilling story involving two families within their walls, according to event organizers. This sinister experience is more than just jump scares; it promises to be a journey through a "reality where everything that could go wrong has… and then some!" as stated in a release obtained by KTNV.
Adding to the seasonal celebrations, the Las Vegas Valley is embracing various Halloween-themed events throughout October, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Community favorites like Opportunity Village's HallOVeen, which turns into a magical forest, and Freakling Bros. Horror Shows, now in their 31st season, invite visitors to enjoy spooky festivities and possibly a scary encounter. Freakling Bros. offers three separate horror experiences, along with fortunetellers, food trucks, and more, starting October 4.
Families seeking fun can enjoy the Parade of Mischief at Downtown Summerlin, a costume-friendly event featuring eccentric characters like witches and extraterrestrial aliens. The parade is free, perfectly aligning with the community's desire for accessible Halloween entertainment.
Las Vegas Haunts is also committed to charity this season, as a portion of their proceeds will benefit the Paradise Ranch Foundation, a local mental health organization that provides horse-assisted therapy. This support for mental health initiatives shows a recognition that the horrors of haunted houses belong to entertainment, not everyday life, as reflected in the stories of The Asylum and Hotel Fear.
The haunts will be set up in the northwest parking lot of Meadows Mall at 4300 Meadows Lane until November 2, giving brave visitors plenty of chances to face the spooky attractions. Tickets for these experiences can be purchased on their website, as reported by KTNV.
