Wow! Cannot believe the mixed reviews this place has!!
My boyfriend and I went on a trip to Vegas this past week to celebrate our sixth anniversary. We both LOVE horror and we're big fans of Eli Roth (Cabin Fever rules! See it!!) so were so excited to visit the Goretorium.
We got our tickets on the Goldstar website, which I highly recommend. The tickets were $30 each including fees for the VIP admission, which includes skipping the line and a drink at the Baby Dolls Lounge. DEFINITELY DO THIS. It's $60 for VIP if you buy it at the door so def get your tickets online at Goldstar first if you can!!
The maze itself is super rad. It's about the Delmont Hotel's f**ked up residents. I don't wanna give too much away, but if you are a fan of Hostel you'll be very pleased. And if you are a bit of a scaredy cat being dragged against your will into this scary ass maze by your friend or significant other, it's helpful to know that they do have a safe word (well, technically safe phrase-- Red Red Red!) so in case you flip out TOO much or something you'll be okay. But please don't flip out because it is so awesome you should not miss it.
The best thing about this place is the group size-- seven people or less. If you have been to anything like Universal's Halloween Horror Nights, haunted mazes are usually pretty crowded and you usually see people ahead of you in line getting scares so you're not as scared. Not so at the Goretorium!! We, luckily, had another couple with us who were super sweet and we all joined together to trek through the maze as a unit!! (Only four of us total!) It's super fun and pretty damn scary. Be ready for some good spooks. But pay attention because some of the tricks in each room and absolutely amazing! Very theatrical and entertaining. It took us about fifteen or twenty minutes to go through it.
At the end of the maze, you're spit out into the Baby Dolls Lounge. The night we went was a Tuesday and for some reason all the groups who left the maze after us walked right by the door and left. DEAR GOD WHY!!?!? Drinks are pricey at $15 a pop but they are delicious and strong, so I think they are worth it. Even if you're not a drinker you should stop by and look out over the strip because it's got a killer (yuk yuk) view of the strip. I tried Eli Roth's Blood cocktail and my boyfriend got the Death Tea. I'd recommend both.
PLEASE GO TO THE GORETORIUM!! I really want this place to stay in business so I can go back on my next trip to Vegas. We had an amazing night so I hope you all have a great time there too!!
P.S. The yard-long drinks are the strongest on the strip! Look for the guys handing out cards-- we got 2-for-1 yard-longs at $20 flat for two drinks including the souvenir cups. The one with everclear in it is strong as f**k.
Happy Haunting! ;)
