The Adventuredome, formerly known as the Grand Slam Canyon, is a 5acre indoor amusement park located at Circus Circus in Las Vegas, Nevada on the Las Vegas Strip. The park is connected to the hotel inside a large glass dome, and currently offers 25 rides and attractions including the Canyon Blaster roller coaster, rock climbing wall, 18-hole miniature golf course, an arcade, clown shows, Xtreme Zone, Pikes Pass, Virtual Reality Zone, Midway Games, and carnival-type games. Because the park is enclosed, it is not affected by cold, rainy, or windy weather, unlike most theme parks, and is open year-round. Every October since 2003, the Adventuredome is changed to Fright Dome as a Halloween-themed theme park.The Adventuredome opened on August 23, 1993 in the west parking lot of the hotel. It sits on a reinforced 18" thick deck elevated 18ft above ground. The dome itself consists of over 350000sqft of pink tinted, insulated glass over a teal green space frame (to minimize structural poles inside). Each pane of glass weighs approximately 300lb.Previous owner of Adventuredome was Mandalay Resort Group, formerly known as Circus Circus Enterprises (1993–2005)
Voted Best Halloween Attraction by The Travel Channel 2014. Opens October 2015. Located in Circus Circus’ Adventuredome, the Fright Dome is one of Las Vegas’ largest and longest-running Halloween attractions. With 6 new haunted houses, the theme park is transformed into a pitch-black, lights-out, haunted spectacle – easily making it the scariest on the Strip. The 5-acre theme park also includes 25 rides and attractions, multiple live shows at night and 4 new scare zones, including the Clown Overload Zone. “My personal nightmare of clowns with glowing eyes surrounding me came to life,” says Zak Bagans, lead investigator of Ghost Adventures. “I had the worst panic attack. Needless to say, I’ll go back again, because it was badass!”
