I must admit that I put off going here due to initial unfavorable reviews. My out of town best friend insisted he wanted to give it a shot, so I obliged. When we arrived on a Friday night it was pretty much empty. There was one small group of people ahead of us. We snapped pictures with the naughty evil elf Candy and various body parts that were laying around. We purchased our tickets which came out to $48 for two with local discount including tax.
We were ushered up a flight of stairs and told to wait. While waiting, a fake local news story keeps playing on the TV that was mounted to the wall. It talks about a serial killer uncovered in Vegas and all the crazy stuff they found in his home. It reallllly set a creepy vibe for me, even with some liquid courage. We were then taken to the actual haunted house and it was very well done. The actors were on point and great..never once breaking character or being cheesy. You could tell they took their jobs seriously. You can't really take your time to look around and admire all of the details put into this place as you are pushed through at what seems to be a timed pace, but I liked what I did see.
When you come out you're in front of the Babydoll Lounge...it is a cool little lounge with a great view of the strip. Ladies, don't let the bathroom freak you out like it did me. When you go into the stall a motion sensor will go off and make a camera shutter noise as if there is a spycam and then a voice will say something to the effect of "we got to stop meeting like this"... I first screamed, then laughed. Well done. We later moved to the Bloody Mary bar where the bartender was friendly enough, but let us enjoy our drinks and conversation in peace. After spending an hour or so at the bar, as we are leaving a member of their management team approached us and asked about our experience. I thought that was a major plus.
