What are the ASYLUM & HOTEL FEAR?

It’s a living—or perhaps unliving—themed story that you don’t simply see. You experience it.

For a few minutes, you escape the mundane rigors of normal life and enter OUR world!

Yes. VIP Tickets can be purchased online through LVHaunts.com.

Check the website for current ticket options, availability and pricing.

Can I buy tickets when I arrive?

General Admission Tickets may be purchased at the attraction, limited upgrades to VIP subject to availability.

Are discounts available?

Yes! We have discounts available at our sponsor’s locations. There is also an online discount code available with a valid email address.

No discount can be combined with any other discount or offer.

The best price is earlier in the season. Prices do increase because of demand closer to Halloween. Go early, save money and see the exact same rooms and scares!

Is there a group discount?

Yes. Qualified groups of 12 or more can receive a discount when tickets are purchased in total and in advance. (No group sales the week of Halloween)

For group sales questions, email groupsales@lvhaunts.com  Include an email, a  phone number and we will try and contact you.

Can I bring children?

You can, but that decision is ultimately up to the individual parent or guardian.

We try to present very realistic environments that may be disturbing to children of an impressionable age. Every child reacts differently.

We’ve had adults pee their pants while the 8-year-old with them wanted to go through again!

Only YOU know what is best for your child.

Is there a discount for children?

No. We do NOT discriminate!  We scare everyone equally!

Is there a refund policy?

Sure… our policy is that there is NO refund!

Once you buy your tickets, you have that time. Just like a concert or sporting event, we can’t  resell that time once it is gone.

It is our job to scare you. If you stand in line and get too scared to go in, then we’ve already done our job before you even entered!

If you enter and become too scared to continue, we’ve done our job again.

If we’ve done our job, there’s no reason for a refund!

How Scary Is It? Will I be scared?

Hopefully! That IS the purpose of a haunted house!

Remember, different things frighten different people. What you might find merely disturbing may be terrifying to someone else.

Our main goal is to entertain—although scaring you along the way is certainly part of the fun.

Which is scarier, ASYLUM or HOTEL FEAR?

That’s something you’ll have to decide for yourself.

Each attraction has its own environment, characters and atmosphere. What terrifies one person may not frighten another.

Experience both and decide which nightmare follows you home.

If you ask me personally, it’s just like asking which is your favorite child….obviously, it’s the one in front of you!

You said some people actually pee their pants?

Yes, that IS true!

We usually have several confirmed “wetters” each weekend.

See, our goal IS to entertain!

What Will I Experience Inside?

Is this one of those haunts with black walls where an actor jumps out and screams “BOO!”?

That is blasphemy! We are a No Boo Zone!

We pride ourselves on transporting you into an altered reality.

You don’t merely walk down a hallway and look into a cheesy scene. You walk through the environment and are enveloped by it, becoming part of the scene.

This is a living—or unliving—themed story that you don’t just see, but experience.

You escape the mundane rigors of normal life to spend a few minutes in the heightened experience of OUR world!

There are dark areas within the Haunts because, let’s face it, one of our biggest fears is the dark.

Oh, and by the way…some  actors did say BOO!

Then Electroshock Therapy took care of that!!!

Will I see a jumbled sequence of rooms like aliens, vampires and clowns?

Remember when we said THEMED story?

ASYLUM is just that—a journey through an asylum. You may become one of the patients, but you won’t suddenly find an alien spaceship next to a vampire standing behind a werewolf.

HOTEL FEAR may have some strange guests, but sorry—no aliens!

We try to remain true to each attraction’s theme so we can immerse you in our altered reality. Rooms make sense, even getting there makes sense. It is a coherent journey not a disjointed pass through.

Will I see Freddy, Leatherface or other movie monsters?

No.

While someone like Freddy might belong in an institution, movie monsters have no business in our haunts! Those are someone else’s characters.

At ASYLUM & HOTEL FEAR we feature our own original characters and storylines.

It may require more imagination, but we believe the result is much more satisfying for both our actors AND our audience.

Are there live actors inside ASYLUM & HOTEL FEAR?

Absolutely.

Our live performers are an essential part of the experience and help bring the environments, characters and stories of ASYLUM & HOTEL FEAR to life.

Or perhaps we should say…Unlife.

Actors, Safety & Special Effects

Can the actors touch you?

No. Our actors are trained not to intentionally touch you. While someone may think getting touched “heightens” the experience, it’s almost impossible to regulate. A simple touch can become a grab or even being hit. An innocent grab can become a grope. It’s not worth your safety or the safety of our actors.

However, because of their close proximity—or your own reaction when you’re scared—you may accidentally bump into one of our actors.

And, of course, you aren’t allowed to touch, grab or strike our monsters either.

They’ve had a very difficult afterlife already.

Is the fog or smoke dangerous?

This is the same type of fog used as all Las Vegas shows where the performers are exposed to it on a daily basis.

We may utilize a fog machine in select areas. It uses a glycol-based theatrical fog that creates the eerie atmosphere we’re looking for.

Guests with respiratory sensitivities or concerns about theatrical effects should review attraction warnings before entering.

What if I get too scared and want to leave?

If you become too frightened or need assistance while inside the attraction, notify one of our staff members.

Remember: becoming too scared to finish doesn’t qualify for a refund.

It simply means we did our job!

Cell Phones, Photography & Personal Belongings

Can I bring my cell phone?

Face it….we LIVE on our phones. But you are entering the realm of the UNDEAD.

Sure, you can bring it, but it’s best to turn it off and bury it deep in a secure pocket during your “stay.”

When you exit, you’ll want your phone with you so bury it!

Cell phone use allowed inside the Haunts?

NO!      Why?

This is for your safety and that of our actors.

When people get scared, whatever they’re holding is frequently the first thing that goes flying!

We can’t stop everything to try and find your phone. Anything found inside the attraction will be collected after the evening’s operation and handled according to our lost-item procedures.

So if you think you’ll need your phone, don’t use it!

Good rule on any personal items: If you don’t want to lose it… don’t bring it!

Is photography allowed inside ASYLUM & HOTEL FEAR?

Sorry, but no photography is allowed inside the attractions.

There are several reasons.

A flash or bright light can temporarily blind our actors. Photography disrupts the experience of other guests, and stopping to take pictures slows everyone behind you.

Besides, you’ll probably be too busy worrying about what’s waiting around the next corner.

Check LVHaunts.com for inside photographs. We are adding Photo Ops outside the haunts so you can take a FREE souvenir photo to save and share! Post yours on our FB and Google review!

Haunted House Myths

Is there a haunted house with 13 floors where you get your money back if you make it through?

That’s called an urban legend. Think about it.

If one person actually made it through, they’d simply tell all their friends the “secret.” Pretty soon everyone would make it through and the haunted house would be out of business!

We HAVE to make money…Otherwise, we can’t come back and scare you again next year!

Are there other Haunt Myths?
