Circus Circus Fright DomeSee pictures, get dates & hours, and discover discounts!In the slide show above, you're viewing pictures of last year's Circus Circus Fright Dome monsters and festivities! If you haven't yet visited the Circus Circus Fright Dome, you'll certainly want to put it on your list of "must-do" Halloween activities; it's one of the USA's best scary theme park Halloween events! On the rest of this page, you can find out about attractions at the Fright Dome, and make your plans to go! What is the Circus Circus Fright Dome in Las Vegas, Nevada?The Circus Circus hotel in Las Vegas has an indoor theme park called the Adventure Dome. Covered by a giant pink see-through dome, Las Vegas residents and visitors year-round can enjoy both adult and kiddie rides in pleasant, climate-controlled comfort.Most of the time, the Circus Circus Adventure Dome is an all-ages family attraction. And, why not? It's got the best selection of kiddie rides in town, PLUS a wonderful roller coaster, splash-down ride and other thrill rides that older kids, teens and adults can experience. But when Halloween time rolls around, the Adventure Dome turns into the scary Fright Dome! The Fright Dome is a nighttime, spine-tingling version of the Adventuredome. Aimed at visitors age 12 and up, if you bring younger children they'll be restricted from going on the rides by minimum height requirements. Even the Haunted Houses have minimum height requirements...to keep youngsters with avid parents from having to view things like fake blood, severed limbs and other gross & gory Halloween props. The 2011 Fright Dome has already had some 100% sold-out nights in early October! Be sure you won't be disappointed by showing up early...or, even better, pre-purchasing your Fright Dome tickets online. (There's a link to this event's official website near the end of this page, for your convenience.) What attractions will you find at the Circus Circus Fright Dome?You'll find a bone-chilling list of attractions at this fun theme park Halloween celebration.1.) Haunted mazes! Ready to be scared? Try visiting the Fright Dome's macabre and often-bloody haunted houses. In 2011, the Fright Dome is featuring 5 haunted houses, each one with a different theme. Headlining this year's event will be TWO scary mazes based on Michael Meyers & the "Halloween" movie franchise. These two haunted houses have completely different themes and atmospheres, each taken from different locations featured in the films. One will be Halloween: Haddonfield Memorial Hospital, while the other creepy house of doom will be Michael Meyers' own home! This year's 3 other haunted mazes include Hillbilly Hell, Chainsaw Massacre, and Fright High: Knock 'em Dead Class of 2011. 3.) Fog-shrouded atmosphere! One of the biggest differences you'll discover between the Fright Dome and the other theme park Halloween events you've attended is that when the fog-making machines launch their clouds into the dome, the fog STAYS THERE! (As you probably know, when the fog-makers send out clouds at an outdoor theme park, the effect soon wears off and the night turns crystal-clear again all too soon.) Be prepared for a very eerie atmosphere at the Fright Zone...because you really WON'T see the monsters creeping up on you as easily. But you can HEAR where the monsters are coming from as the shrieks and screams from other guests fly through the air from somewhere deep in the mist! 4.) All of the Adventure Dome's thrill rides and skill games are open, too! Even if you're not a Halloween-lover, you can enjoy the opportunity to do some screaming at the Circus Circus Fright Dome. Climb aboard the roller coaster...or any of the other thrill rides, such as Chaos, the Bumper Cars, the Inverter or Disc-o...and get set to shriek! Fun games of skill (where you can win prizes!) are open, too...as well as the Adventure Dome's snack bars. 5.) Scary shows: There are several special live shows you can take in as part of the Fright Dome's events. This year's shows include 2 magicians...Rudy Colby, "Coolest Magician on Earth"; and Dan Sperry, anti-conjuror: illusionist of the macabre. Circus Circus Fright Dome 2011 dates and hours of operation19 nights in October...more than ever before!The 2011 Fright Dome event begins on Saturday, October 1st. The Fright Dome's last date will be Halloween night. The entire schedule of dates for this year's Fright Dome at Circus Circus is as follows: October 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 (Halloween night.)Fright Dome hours of operation: The Fright Dome opens at 7 pm and closes at midnight on ALL dates that it operates. Fright Dome entrance: Because of the large crowd, the usual Adventure Dome entrance inside of the Circus Circus hotel is not used. Instead, a large area in the parking lot is roped off for the line to stand, and a tent area is erected for the ticket sales. WHAT TIME SHOULD YOU GO TO THE FRIGHT DOME? If you'll be attending the event early in October, the crowds may be thin enough for you to see & do everything even if you don't arrive at the event's 7 pm opening time. However, the closer to Halloween you go, the more crowded the Fright Dome gets. Last year, I went on a weekend night close to Halloween and---even by purchasing a front-of-line pass---I still didn't get to do everything. I got into all of the haunted houses...but didn't get to all of the rides and shows. HOW CROWDED DOES THE FRIGHT DOME GET? Close to Halloween time, the crowds can build up to a point where there's an hour or more waiting time for each of the haunted mazes! (Even with a front-of-line pass, we had to wait about 20 minutes at the most popular maze.) Lines get very long for the rides, too. It's best to arrive soon after opening time and then head for your favorite rides or attractions early in the evening. The crowd seems to take awhile to build up, but by 9 pm, expect to find long lines wherever you go. Fright Dome pricesFront-of-line privileges are not included in the base price of the Fright Dome tickets, but may be purchased for an extra fee of $15 per person. If you decide to pay the extra price for a "fast pass," what comes included? Well, all of the mazes have 2 lines: regular, and VIP. With your front-of-line ticket, you get admission to the VIP lines of all 5 haunted houses. You do not get any special privileges at the theme park's rides, nor special seating at the shows. However, considering how long the haunted house lines can get, if you come on a busy night, paying extra for the front-of-line pass may be worth it to you. VIP Private Tour: If you'd like front-of-line privileges at both the haunted houses AND the Adventuredome's thrill rides, that can be arranged for just a bit more money. For $89.95 per person (with a 4-person minimum group size) you may order a special tour...complete with your own guide! You'll bypass both regular AND VIP lines at the Fright Dome's haunted houses. And, you'll walk right onto the roller coaster & other fun rides, too. Tickets for the VIP Private tour aren't on sale the night of the event. You must pre-arrange your groups tour by calling the Adventure Dome at (702) 794-3912. Contests for FREE Fright Dome tickets on Facebook: There have been some lively contests on Facebook this year...with the prize of 2 free tickets for the winners!
