Great balls of fire! Do you feel the need… the need for an immersive experience in the Danger Zone? Paramount Global and Advent Allen Entertainment have joined forces to transform Tom Cruise’s legendary Top Gun franchise into a heart-pounding, immersive attraction on the Las Vegas Strip. Slated to launch in the summer of 2028, Top Gun Las Vegas (working title) promises to bring the thrill of high-speed aviation, daring maneuvers, and cinematic storytelling to life at The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower.
Fans will be able to step into the exhilarating world of Top Gun, as seen in both films (Top Gun – 1986 and Top Gun: Maverick – 2022), embarking on pulse-pounding missions via cutting-edge fighter jet simulators and state-of-the-art thrill ride systems. The experience will apparently push the boundaries of immersive technology, blending breathtaking visuals with the intense action that has defined the film franchise. After their high-flying adventure, guests can kick back at Top Gun: Maverick’s Hard Deck, a reimagined bar and restaurant featuring live piano sing-alongs to “Great Balls of Fire”, good food, and killer drinks.
Pam Kaufman, President and CEO of International Markets, Global Consumer Products and Experiences at Paramount, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “This innovative venture marks a new milestone for Top Gun and expands Paramount’s portfolio of immersive entertainment. We are committed to delivering authentic, mind-blowing experiences for fans, and Mark Advent and Bill Allen are the perfect team to make this destination soar.”
Co-founder of Advent Allen Entertainment and creator of the famed New York-New York Hotel & Casino, Mark Advent, echoed this excitement: “We’re proud to unite with Paramount to bring this action-packed epic to life. We are pulling out all the stops to create an experience that embodies teamwork, excellence, speed, and the thrill of flying.”
With its pulse-racing attractions, cinematic spectacle, and vibrant social atmosphere, Top Gun Las Vegas is set to be the ultimate destination for fans and adventure-seekers alike. In fact, Paramount and Advent Allen Entertainment are already exploring expansion opportunities for future locations throughout the U.S. and beyond.
