Who doesn’t remember watching the immensely popular series FRIENDS, running for 10 seasons on NBC?

Now fans of the show can relive some of the classic moments in Las Vegas as The FRIENDS experience officially opens its newest flagship location at the MGM Grand on July 23, 2025.

Created by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences, Original X Productions (OGX), and Warner Bros. Television Group, The FRIENDS Experience: The One in Vegas will transport guests into the world of FRIENDS allowing fans to explore the show’s iconic moments, behind-the-scenes content and photo opportunities within life-size set recreations.

2025 marks the 5th anniversary of The FRIENDS experience which has traveled to 24 destinations across eight countries with permanent locations in New York and London.

Confirmed sets for the Las Vegas flagship include re-creations of Central Perk, Monica and Rachel’s apartment, Joey and Chandler’s apartment, the fountain with the signature orange couch from the opening credits, Phoebe’s Taxi, and the fan-favorite “PIVOT!!” scene.

Exclusive to the MGM Grand location, guests can walk through the infamous wedding chapel doors – just like Ross and Rachel – and see a replica of Joey’s iconic gladiator costume from the Vegas episodes.

A FRIENDS retail space will feature exclusive merchandise for fans to take home a piece of the experience. From apparel to memorabilia, the store will offer must-have items for anyone wanting to remember their time at “The One in Vegas” — with even more surprises on the way as the space continues to roll out.

“Our opening in Las Vegas marks a meaningful new chapter for The FRIENDS Experience and for Original X Productions,” said Stacy Moscatelli, CEO of Original X Productions. “As a city that holds a unique place in the show’s storyline and stands at the heart of global entertainment, Las Vegas is a natural home for our next flagship location. We’re proud to bring this experience to The Strip and are committed to delivering something truly memorable for the millions of FRIENDS fans who visit each year.”

Tickets will be available on the website on June 20 at 10 am PT. A special pre-sale window will open June 18 for those wanting to sign up for the waitlist.
