Later this year, The FRIENDS Experience will debut its West Coast flagship location in Las Vegas at MGM Grand. “The One in Vegas” transports guests into the world of the popular TV show allowing fans to explore the series’ iconic moments, behind-the-scenes content, and photo opportunities within life-sized set recreations.
Fans can become part of Ross and Rachel’s Las Vegas wedding scene bursting out into the chapel’s lobby, kick back in Monica’s apartment, or even dance around the iconic fountain featured in the opening credits.
Following The FRIENDS Experience’s successes in more than 24 global cities and eight international countries, including active locations in Boston and the first-ever flagship in New York City, along with the recently announced London flagship opening later this summer, “The One in Vegas” will launch as a part of the show’s 30th anniversary year-long celebration.
“The global success of The FRIENDS Experience has been nothing short of phenomenal,” says Peter van Roden, Sr. VP, Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment. “We’ve seen fans from all over the world embrace the chance to relive their favourite moments and connect with the show in a whole new way.”
The FRIENDS Experience: The One in Vegas has been voted as one of USA Today’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice Best New Attractions and included in CNN’s 12 Best Immersive Experiences around the world.
The attraction features several nostalgia-packed rooms and activations and fans can also get a peek behind-the-scenes and learn about the show’s production, costume design and more. An onsite FRIENDS retail store featuring exclusive products will also be open at MGM Grand to both ticketed and non-ticketed guests.
Michael Neubecker, MGM Grand’s President & COO, says, “Las Vegas is home to some of the most incredible entertainment and immersive experiences in the world… Given FRIENDS’ wide appeal domestically and internationally, we are excited to be the long-term West Coast home to this experience that will resonate with so many of our visitors, transporting them to the iconic settings inspired by the show.”
The FRIENDS™ Experience will be located within The District at MGM Grand adjacent to the Grand Garden Arena. Fans are invited to visit www.FriendsTheExperience.com/Vegas to sign up for the waitlist and receive exclusive access to opening and ticket on-sale dates, contests and more.
