AREA15’s Eye Dropper, a towering 200-foot-tall psychedelic thrill ride, is now open inside Zone 2 west of the Las Vegas Strip. Transforming the drop tower into a cinematic, story-driven experience inspired by trippy art and altered states of perception, Eye Dropper delivers multiple high-intensity sensations.
The opening arrives as AREA15 sees its visitation increasing by double-digit percentages compared to last year and prepares to welcome more dynamic additions this summer. Eye Dropper opened Saturday, June 20, during AREA15’s biggest block party to date at the 30-acre district and drew thousands of revelers.
Costumed performers and guests from across Las Vegas, including Las Vegas Aces players and their mascot Bucket$, Vegas Golden Knights’ mascot Chance, Chippendales at Planet Hollywood and “Fantasy” at Luxor dancers and more, celebrated during an outdoor VIP reception.
The grand opening also included DJ Tritonal and free rides all day long. Eye Dropper is the newest addition to AREA15 District’s Zone 2 expansion anchored by Universal Destinations & Experience’s Universal Horror Unleashed and that recently opened Dolls Kill, the popular festival streetwear retailer.
Other Zone 2 openings this summer include Museum of Ice Cream, which opens Friday, July 3; Saint Honoré Doughnuts & Beignets; Chilango’s Tacos; Las Vegas-based Nacho Daddy on Thursday, July 9; and more, including the Boeing 747, which is transforming into a permanent, upscale private event and lounge venue.
“We’re in the midst of an extraordinary time of expansion and evolution at AREA15,” said AREA15 CEO Winston Fisher. “Eye Dropper is only the latest iconic attraction on our roster, but there’s even more on the horizon. There’s always something new and extraordinary to discover at AREA15.”
Featuring space shots and turbo drops, Eye Dropper launches, freefalls and both for a back-to-back experience with speeds up to 36 mph. Eye Dropper is open 11:30 a.m.-10 p.m. daily. Tickets are $25 for adults and teens 13 and older and $20 for children 12 and younger, seniors, locals and military. Click here for more.
