The FRIENDS™ Experience Opens Flagship Location at MGM Grand Las Vegas

FRIENDS Experience Opens in Las Vegas with Iconic Sets and Exclusive Vegas-Only Features
The FRIENDS™ Experience: The One in Vegas has officially opened at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, offering fans of the iconic sitcom a chance to step into the show’s most memorable moments—this time, in the city that famously featured one of its wildest storylines.
The immersive attraction, developed by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences, Original X Productions (OGX), and Warner Bros. Television Group, brings to life detailed recreations of beloved sets including Monica and Rachel’s apartment, Central Perk, and the “PIVOT!” scene. Unique to this West Coast flagship is a Vegas-exclusive wedding chapel set, inspired by Ross and Rachel’s spontaneous Strip nuptials. Visitors can pose, propose, or just laugh—no permanent marker mustaches required.
“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 creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane, and director Kevin S. Bright. “Las Vegas holds a special place. It’s where the cast first bonded and where the characters made unforgettable choices. The FRIENDS™ Experience: The One in Vegas is an absolute thrill and brings it all back.”

The attraction also features authentic props and costumes, including Joey’s gladiator outfit, Phoebe’s taxi, and Rachel’s infamous 18-page letter. Guests can explore the iconic fountain and orange couch, or spot the Ugly Naked Guy poking device.
“Las Vegas was the backdrop for some of the show’s most hilarious and heartfelt moments,” said OGX CEO Stacy Moscatelli. “Bringing those stories to life here makes this location especially meaningful.”
To celebrate the launch, a ribbon-cutting ceremony took place and a special FRIENDS-inspired lobby display is currently viewable at MGM Grand through August 5th. Tickets start at $39 and are available at friendstheexperience.com/vegas. An on-site retail store offers exclusive merchandise for fans wanting to take home a piece of the experience.
The FRIENDS™ Experience, already a permanent fixture in New York and London, has been named one of USA Today’s 10Best New Attractions and featured in CNN’s 12 Best Immersive Experiences worldwide. Its Las Vegas location is within The District at MGM Grand, next to the Grand Garden Arena.
