Earlier this week, I was given the opportunity to attend the John Wick Experience in Las Vegas, which I imagine feels about as close to walking straight into the world of the films as any reasonable person would like to safely go. From the moment I arrived, I was fully immersed — the concierge at the lobby of the Las Vegas Continental greeted me before I was quickly ushered into the iconic operations room, where walls of ticking clocks and phone operators set the tone. That’s when the story began.
My name appeared on the wall of bounties — right under John Wick himself — and suddenly, I was on the run.From there, I was taken to the Manager’s office, where he reminded me of the Continental’s most sacred rule: no business is to be conducted on its grounds. But as a friend of John Wick, he assured me he would help me escape safely.
What followed was a thrilling sequence of interactive experiences, each more elaborate than the last.I navigated a puzzle-filled escape room, played a high-stakes round of roulette in a casino lounge, and stepped into a dressing room where a suit designer presented a selection of bulletproof suits worthy of an assassin. I was led into an armory filled with weapons, maneuvered through a high-security vault laced with laser tripwires, and finally, I underwent a John Wick-style firearm training session — culminating in an all-out shootout on the streets.
At every turn, actors in character heightened the immersion, guiding me through each challenge as if I were truly part of the John Wick underworld. Every detail was meticulously designed, from elegant set pieces to subtle Easter eggs referencing the films. Along the way, I collected the franchise’s signature gold coins, casino chips, and even swore a blood oath to the Manager (thankfully, done with a red thumb stamp where I lost zero blood).
The experience wrapped up in a sleek John Wick-themed bar, where guests could unwind, soak in the atmosphere, and order custom cocktails.While I was (understandably) asked to not film any portion of the finale, feel free to take a peek at our video of the experience at the top of the page.For fans of the John Wick series, this isn’t just an attraction — it’s a must-see, must-experience thrill ride.
