The Resident Evil Las Vegas experience transforms the venue into the alternate world of Resident Evil, forcing guests to navigate through six distinct, intense zones to help contain a massive T-Virus outbreak. Here is what waits for you inside:

  • Zone 1: Arrival: Step past a battered “Welcome to Raccoon City” sign as emergency lights flash and police scramble to contain the rapidly spreading infection caused by the Umbrella Corporation.
  • Zone 2: Mission: Arrive at the iconic Raccoon City Police Department. Here, you’ll race against the clock to solve a series of interactive puzzles.
  • Zone 3: Infection: Enter a quarantined, high-risk sector of the city where the last remaining citizens have transformed into ravenous, flesh-eating zombies. Keep your eyes peeled—you might catch a glimpse of familiar faces like the infamous Ada Wong amid the chaos.
  • Zone 4: Combat: Prepare for pure adrenaline. You will stand on the front lines of epic battles, coming face-to-face with legendary franchise heroes Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine, and Leon S. Kennedy as they fight off zombies and notorious villains. Once the dust settles, you’ll even get a chance to interact and take photos with the characters.
  • Zone 5: Escape: The final stretch. Push through the terror and do whatever it takes to survive the final mission.
  • Zone 6: Aftermath: If you manage to make it out alive, you’ll step inside the Umbrella Corporation itself. This zone features limited-time themed food and cocktails inspired by the T-Virus and its mutations available for purchase. But don’t let your guard down—you never know who or what may emerge around the corner…
