Interstellar Arc, Area15

Area15 in Las Vegas has broken ground on its latest immersive experience, a space-themed attraction to anchor its 20-acre expansion.

‘Interstellar Arc’ is by Emmy Award-winning Felix & Paul Studios, creators of ‘Space Explorers‘, the largest immersive production ever filmed in space.

When it opens in autumn 2025 in a custom-built 20,000-square-foot venue, Interstellar Arc will provide a futuristic sci-fi experience. Guests will embark on a 26th-century deep space mission across the far reaches of the cosmos, according to a press release.

“After more than two years of development, Interstellar Arc represents our most ambitious project yet,” said Stéphane Rituit, CEO of Felix & Paul Studios.

“We are proud to open alongside other visionary creators, like Meow Wolf, who have made Area15 a must-visit destination for those seeking mind-expanding experiences.

“Interstellar Arc is in perfect company here, and we look forward to contributing to this extraordinary landscape.”

Interstellar Arc will anchor Area15’s 20-acre expansion, which also boasts a year-round horror experience from Universal Destinations & Experiences.

“Area15 is thrilled to be the chosen home for Felix & Paul Studios’ groundbreaking new experience,” said Winston Fisher, CEO of Area15.

“This cutting-edge attraction is a perfect fit for our ever-expanding portfolio of immersive, world-class entertainment.

Vince Kadlubek, chief vision officer and co-founder at Meow Wolf, added: “I have followed the work of Felix & Paul Studios for the past decade, and I am thrilled to welcome like-minded creators as they bring their visionary storytelling to our shared space of boundary-pushing experiences.”

The Area15 expansion, called Vegas Immersive District, is expected to welcome 3.5 million guests each year, with $796 million in annual on-site spending. The project will also create 4,086 jobs.
