LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Wednesday, the Las Vegas City Council approved a new tourism improvement district with a spooky theme.
It’s expected to bring millions of dollars to the city and is planned near AREA15.
The New Vegas Immersive District is expected to take about 35.5 acres.
The city’s director of economic and urban development, Dina Babsky, says the new project will include a new 200-room hotel and a 100,000 square-foot immersive horror experience.
The experience is in collaboration with Universal Parks and Resort and is set to open by Halloween next year.
By 2037, when the project is expected to operate at full capacity, Babsky said there could be 6.9 million visitors, over 4,000 jobs created and $384 million in increased earnings.
585 multi-family housing units could also come with the project as well as 320,000 square-feet of office space.
