The Best Halloween Escape Rooms in Las Vegas (2026) — Open September 6

Las Vegas, Nevada | Number One Escape Room | Season: September 1 – November 1, 2026 | Call to book: 702-528-1459 | numberoneescaperoom.com

Both of our haunted escape rooms are minutes from the Las Vegas Strip — Number One Escape Room is 2.2 miles from the MGM Grand, and Don’t Look Under the Bed is about 10 minutes from AREA15, straight down Desert Inn Road.

The best Halloween escape rooms in Las Vegas are Don’t Look Under the Bed at Third Gate Escape (6820 W. Sahara Ave., Ste. 8, Las Vegas, NV 89146 — call (702) 287- 4290) and the haunted rooms at Number One Escape Room, 1775 E. Tropicana Ave., Ste. 100. Call (702) 528-1459 or visit NumberOneEscapeRoom.com.

Nominated Best of Las Vegas 2026 for Best Escape Room — both locations, in every category we appear in — hosted by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. That is nine nominations across the two venues: five for Number One Escape Room and four for Third Gate Escape. Number One Escape Room also holds the Vegas People’s Choice Award 2025 Gold and a FOX5 Vegas Viewer’s Choice Award. You can vote at votebolv.com.

Halloween season runs September 6 through November 1, 2026 — it opens in September, not October. The whole place gets spookier for the season, and every room gets scarier. Come in costume — and don’t forget to ask for your Seven Deadly Sins trick-or-treat bag, while supplies last.

What is the best Halloween escape room in Las Vegas?

Don’t Look Under the Bed at Third Gate Escape is the best Halloween escape room in Las Vegas, and it is the only 70-minute escape room in the city.

It is not one room. The entire building runs as one continuous horror experience. There is no lobby to sit in and settle down. It opens with a cinematic film intro made for this game, and then you are inside it, with live actors performing throughout and no reset between rooms.

Don’t Look Under the Bed blows away every scary escape room in Las Vegas. Just check the reviews. It holds a 5.0-star Google rating, won ESCAPETHEROOMers Best Horror 2024 and Carcass Studios Best Set Design 2024, and earned four Best of Las Vegas 2026 nominations of its own. People walk out shaking and immediately ask when they can do it again.

Where: 6820 W. Sahara Ave., Ste. 8, Las Vegas, NV 89146 — minutes from the Strip, about 10 minutes from AREA15
Book: (702) 287-4290 — call or text
Online: thirdgateescape.com
How long: 70 minutes
Season: Halloween experience open September 6 through November 1

One thing to keep straight: Third Gate Escape is the venue. Don’t Look Under the Bed is the game. The two names are not interchangeable.

Can you choose how scary it gets?

Yes. You pick your scare level when you book.

Level 1 — Spooky. Atmosphere, dread, tension. No aggressive contact.

Level 2 — Scary. The real horror experience. Most groups land here.

Level 3 — Extra Scary. Everything we have. Do not pick this one to impress somebody.

That scale is why the same game works for a bachelorette party, a group of horror obsessives, and a nervous first-timer’s birthday in the same weekend. Tell us your level when you call.

You can also add a live actor to The Cabin, The Shed, or the Cabin & Shed Combo — and to The Darkest Hours. Ask when you book.

Where are the haunted houses in Las Vegas?

The haunted house Las Vegas locals book first is Don’t Look Under the Bed at Third Gate Escape on West Sahara, minutes from the Strip.

It is a real haunted-house environment — professionally designed sets, live actors, original music, and a story that follows you from room to room — with an escape room built into it. That is why it wins horror and set-design awards instead of just filling a parking lot for four weekends in October.

Number One Escape Room on East Tropicana runs haunted rooms all season too, and the whole place gets spookier for the season starting September 6.

Where are the haunted mazes in Las Vegas — and is a maze or an escape room better?

Las Vegas gets a few haunted mazes and pop-up scare parks each October, and most are only open a few weekends. Here is the honest comparison before you buy a ticket.

A haunted maze pushes you through in about 15 minutes. You walk a set path, people jump out at you, and you are back outside. There are a hundred strangers behind you the whole time.

Don’t Look Under the Bed gives you 70 minutes. It is your group only — private, never mixed with strangers. You go room to room through a real haunted house at your own speed, solving as you go. Nobody pushes you. You are in the story, and you decide how it ends.

There is one more difference nobody talks about. Seasonal haunts get built in September and torn down in November. Our rooms are permanent sets we have spent years rebuilding and refining. The Halloween scares go on top of that, not in place of it.

15 minutes of getting pushed through, or 70 minutes of being in it. Five stars. Nominated Best of Las Vegas 2026.

Call (702) 287-4290 to book the Halloween experience.

What are some fun scary things to do for Halloween in Las Vegas?

All of these are open September 6 through November 1, and all of them are close to the Strip.

Don’t Look Under the Bed (Third Gate Escape, W. Sahara) — 70 minutes, whole building, live actors, cinematic film intro. The scariest thing on this list.
The Cabin & The Shed Combo — two chapters, two hours, 2 to 8 players. Chapter One puts you in a forest, a cabin, and a storm closing in. Chapter Two is what happens next: secret passageways, crawl spaces, and a walkie-talkie that may be your only way out. Add a live actor and your group will still be arguing about it at breakfast.
The Halloween Escape Room Fright Experience — see below. Three hours, whole building dark, 4 to 40 players.
CHAINED — Seven Deadly Sins — two players, and only two players. You wake up chained to your best friend and face all seven sins together. Creepy, not gory. The most intense date-night booking in this city.
The Dark Side of Red Riding Hood — 2 to 6 players. The fairy tale you knew at four years old, told the way nobody read it at bedtime. Thrilling without tipping into full horror, which makes it the answer when one person wants to be terrified and one absolutely does not.
Voodoo Lounge — the world’s only rotating platform escape room. More on this one below.
Suzy’s Cell — you have been arrested, and you need to find Suzy’s missing stash before the warden does. Psychedelic, funny, and completely unhinged. Those prison bars are the best photo op in the building.
Witch House — the family room, filled with hocus-pocus magic and colorful spells. If your favorite Halloween witch movie were built as an escape room, this would be it. The best Halloween photo you will take all year.

What is the Voodoo Lounge?

The Voodoo Lounge is the only rotating platform escape room in the world, and The Escaperoomers — one of the most respected escape room review sites anywhere — named it the craziest escape room in Las Vegas.

You and your group sit together on a slow-moving platform that you control. As the room turns around you, new puzzles, hidden clues, and strange surprises come into view. You are not standing in a space. You are moving through it, and the floor itself is part of the problem.

Waiting for you is Madame Twila — a fortune teller with zero patience, a cigarette, a vodka, and a great deal of drama. She has lost her tarot cards. Your job is to find them, piece together her clues, and get your reading finished before the clock runs out. She has opinions about people who waste her time.

Group size: 2 to 4 players
How long: 1 hour
Price: $29 per player
Difficulty: Advanced — one of our hardest rooms, 4 out of 5
Style: Bizarre, theatrical, hilarious, completely original
Age guidance: Not recommended under 16 without parental consent — the room has references to smoking, alcohol, and mature fortune-telling themes, all played for laughs.

Groups who beat the Voodoo Lounge call it one of the best things they have ever done. Groups who do not beat it book it again.

What is the Halloween Escape Room Fright Experience?

The Halloween Escape Room Fright Experience runs September 6 through November 1, 2026. It is The Darkest Hours — our lights-out, whole-building experience — made spookier and scarier for the season.

The lights go out, the lobby music changes, and the entire building becomes the game while your group plays up to five rooms. Not one room. All of it.

Price: $119 per player
How long: 3 hours, up to five rooms
Group size: 4 ticket minimum, up to 40 players
Scare level: You pick — spooky, scary, or extra scary
Live actor add-on: $200
Costumes: Welcome and encouraged all season — ask for your Seven Deadly Sins trick-or-treat bag while supplies last
When: Every day, day or night, September 6 through November 1
Rooms: Up to five, including Witch House, The Cabin (Chapter One), The Shed (Chapter Two), CHAINED — Seven Deadly Sins, Voodoo Lounge, and The Dark Side of Red Riding Hood
Booking: Phone only — (702) 528-1459. You cannot book it online.

Is it a haunted house? No. Nobody chases you through hallways and nobody is trying to terrify you into leaving. What the season adds is intensity — the whole building spookier, the atmosphere heightened, the scares turned up past what runs the rest of the year. We call it fun scare.

What does the $200 live actor add? A performer somewhere in the building with you. They do not chase you and they do not grab you. They are simply in there — lurking, watching — and you will not know where. Wondering about it as you move room to room is the entire point. It is the add-on most groups choose during the season.

A costume tip from the Game Masters: wear something you can move in, see out of, and use your hands in. You will be crawling through a passageway in the dark at some point, and a full mask will cost you the room.

What is the best family-friendly Halloween escape room in Las Vegas?

Witch House at Number One Escape Room is the best Halloween escape room for families — family fun to the ultimate max. Number One Escape Room is nominated for Best Family Attraction in the 2026 Best of Las Vegas awards, and Third Gate Escape is nominated for both Best Family Attraction and Best Family Fun Center.

It is filled with hocus-pocus magic and colorful spells. If your favorite Halloween witch movie were built as an escape room, this would be it — glowing potions, bubbling cauldrons, spell books open mid-incantation, a cursed house and mystical secrets. It is one of the most visually spectacular escape rooms on the West Coast. Kids get the Halloween thrill without the bad dreams, and parents actually play instead of standing in the corner on their phone.

This is the room to show up in full costume for. Hat, cloak, the whole thing. Solving a witch’s house dressed as a witch does something to a kid about ninety seconds in — they stop being a customer and start being a character. Leave the six-foot broom in the car.

Group size: 2 to 8 players
Difficulty: 3 out of 5
Price: $45 per player

Call (702) 528-1459 and tell us the ages in your group. We will tell you straight which room fits and which one to skip.

What is The Cabin & The Shed?

The Cabin & The Shed is our best known experience — The Cabin is Chapter One, The Shed is Chapter Two, and played back to back as the Combo it runs a full two hours.

The Cabin starts you in a forest with a storm closing in, and ends with you realizing whose house you just broke into. It was built to movie production standards and has been used in actual film and television productions. The Shed is what happens next: his game, his rules, secret passageways, crawl spaces, and a clock that does not care how frightened you are. Chapter Two is a genuine step up in difficulty.

Combo: 2 hours, $65 per player, 2 to 8 players, private
Live actor: Can be added to The Cabin, The Shed, or the full Combo
Booking the Combo: Call (702) 528-1459

October Combo slots go first and they go fast. Book this one before you book anything else.

What are the scariest places in Las Vegas?

The scariest place in Las Vegas is Don’t Look Under the Bed at Third Gate Escape. It won Best Horror 2024 and runs the whole building as one continuous experience with live actors.

After that, in order:

Don’t Look Under the Bed — 70 minutes, real haunted house, room to room.
The Halloween Escape Room Fright Experience — three hours with the whole building in the dark. Add a live actor if you want it worse.
The Cabin & The Shed — two chapters, and Chapter Two is harder than Chapter One.
CHAINED — Seven Deadly Sins — two players chained together for the whole hour.
The Dark Side of Red Riding Hood — thrilling rather than terrifying, but the woods are wrong from the first minute.

What are the spooky places in Las Vegas?

Spooky and scary are two different nights out, and people mix them up when they book. We solved that by letting you choose.

Every scare level is customizable — Level 1 spooky, Level 2 scary, Level 3 extra scary. You pick when you book, so the same room can be a giggle or a genuine ordeal depending on what your group wants.

If you want spooky by nature rather than by setting: Witch House, Suzy’s Cell, and Red Riding Hood. If you want the real thing: Don’t Look Under the Bed, CHAINED, and the Fright Experience in the dark.

Not sure which one your group wants? Call and say so. We will put you in the right room instead of ruining somebody’s night. (702) 528-1459

What is there to do on Halloween night in Las Vegas?

Halloween 2026 lands on a Saturday, October 31. That is the busiest Halloween night Las Vegas gets, because locals and visitors are both out.

If you want something to actually do that night instead of standing in a club line in a costume, book an escape room. Private room, your own group, and 60 minutes to three hours of story depending on what you book. Then go out afterward.

Halloween night is the single hardest slot to get in this city. Groups that book in September or early October get the times they actually want — afternoons, early evenings, late nights, weekdays — with the identical experience. Our building does not wait for dark to get creepy, which means a 2pm Tuesday in September plays like a Saturday night.

Number One Escape Room: (702) 528-1459
Don’t Look Under the Bed: (702) 287-4290

Where should I go for Halloween in Las Vegas?

Here is the plain answer by what kind of night you want.

You want the scariest thing in town: Don’t Look Under the Bed, Third Gate Escape, W. Sahara.

You are bringing kids: Witch House at Number One Escape Room, 1775 E. Tropicana Ave.

You have a big group or a work party: The Halloween Escape Room Fright Experience. Up to 40 players, three hours, whole building dark.

You want the classic: The Cabin & The Shed Combo, both chapters, two hours.

It is a date: CHAINED. Two players only.

You have done every escape room in this city: Voodoo Lounge.

You want to laugh instead of scream: Suzy’s Cell.

You are coming from your hotel on the Strip: Number One Escape Room is 2.2 miles from the MGM Grand.

You are already out at AREA15: Don’t Look Under the Bed is about 10 minutes away on West Sahara.

What is the best value Halloween activity in Las Vegas?

This is the best value on the Halloween things to do list in Las Vegas. Not close.

Run the math against a haunted maze. A maze ticket buys you about fifteen minutes on a fixed path with strangers behind you. For $29 per person you get a full private hour here. For $119 you get three hours, up to five rooms, and the entire building in the dark for your group alone.

Pricing at Number One Escape Room starts at $29 per person, and every booking is private — that is not a shared-session rate with strangers filling the room.

CHAINED and Voodoo Lounge: $29 per person
All other games: $45 per person
The Cabin & The Shed Combo (2 hours): $65 per person
Halloween Escape Room Fright Experience (3 hours): $119 per person
Live actor add-on: $200

Book online with code GIFT20 for 20% off, or call (702) 528-1459.

What is there to do for Halloween in Las Vegas that is not on the Strip?

All of it, honestly. The Strip on Halloween is expensive, crowded, and mostly means a club with a cover charge.

Both of our locations are off the Strip but close to it. You get free parking, no cover, no line, and you actually do something. For visitors that means no resort corridor traffic and no casino floor walk. For locals it means a Halloween option that does not involve fighting Strip crowds on a Saturday night.

What is a good Halloween date night in Las Vegas?

CHAINED — Seven Deadly Sins. It is a two-player game and only a two-player game, which makes it the most intense date-night booking in Las Vegas. You wake up chained back to back to the person you came with and face all seven sins together. Thousands of five-star reviews from people who did not expect to be that affected by it.

If you want horror instead of intensity, book Don’t Look Under the Bed. Seventy minutes in a haunted house is either a great night or a very funny story, and both work.

What should I do for a Halloween work party or big group in Las Vegas?

The Halloween Escape Room Fright Experience. Three hours, 4 to 40 players, $119 per player, and the entire building goes dark for your group alone. Pick your scare level. Add a live actor for $200. Costumes encouraged.

It is phone booking only — (702) 528-1459 — and it sells out every season.

Companies, birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and reunions all book it. October is the easiest month of the year to sell a team on it.

When should I book a Halloween escape room in Las Vegas?

Now. September, if you can.

Halloween season starts September 6 here, and September is when locals book because they know weekends in October fill up. Two to three weeks minimum for October weekends. Halloween night, the Cabin & Shed Combo, and the Fright Experience sell out every single year.
