Area15, the Las Vegas experiential and art immersion attraction celebrating its fourth anniversary this month, will expand by more than 35 acres with a hotel and housing units in addition to the Universal Destinations and Experiences’ Horror Unleashed themed attraction that will open next year.

The Las Vegas City Council is expected next month to formally establish a tourism improvement district that will enable Area15 to improve water and sewer lines to support the phased project expected to be built over several years.

A tourism improvement district is an economic development tool designed to attract retail outlets and grow visitation.
