The Friends Experience: The One in Vegas has officially opened at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas.
The flagship attraction welcomes fans of the TV series into its world with re-created sets, props and behind-the-scenes content.
What to expect from The Friends Experience
Friends made their home in New York City, but its fifth season featured an unforgettable storyline in Las Vegas. The cast of characters took a trip to Las Vegas, where Ross and Rachel drunkenly end up getting married.
Now, fans can see a Vegas-exclusive wedding chapel set, inspired by the couple’s unforgettable night on the Strip.
Created by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences, Original X Productions (OGX) and Warner Bros. Television Group, The One in Vegas brings the show’s most memorable moments to life with multiple set recreations, including Monica and Rachel’s apartment, Joey and Chandler’s recliner-filled living room, Central Perk and the iconic fountain.
“More than 30 years ago, we created a show about that unique time in every twenty-something’s life when your friends become your family,” said Marta Kauffman and David Crane, co-creators and executive producers and Kevin S. Bright, executive producer and director, “Friends,” in a joint statement.
“We never could have imagined the global impact ‘Friends’ would have after all these years and, while New York was home, Las Vegas holds a special place. It’s where the cast first bonded and where the characters made some unforgettable choices. Those episodes captured the spirit, spontaneity and heart of the show.
“The Friends Experience: The One in Vegas is an absolute thrill and brings it all back — we’re so excited fans get to experience it.”
“There’s something for everyone to discover and smile about.”
Meanwhile, Stacy Moscatelli, chief executive officer, Original X Productions, commented: “Las Vegas was the backdrop for some of the show’s most hilarious and heartfelt moments,
“Bringing those stories to life in the city where they unfolded makes this location especially meaningful for The Friends Experience and for Original X Productions.
“Whether reenacting ‘PIVOT!,’ catching up at our Central Perk replica or proposing at the wedding chapel, there’s something for everyone to discover and smile about.”
