A new theme park planned for Las Vegas aims to take guests on a nostalgic trip through the decades.
At the new park, RetroEscapes, guests will be able to visit five lands based around the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.
The park says it will offer various attractions, rides, activities, dining, shopping, and live entertainment that encapsulate the best of every era. There will also be a “Tomorrow Zone” offering guests a glimpse into the future.
Guests will enter the park through a time portal, and from there, they will be transported back to the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, according to influencer and self-titled “CEO of Las Vegas” Daniel Leo Jr. in a social media post announcing the park.
Leo and his father, Daniel Leo Sr., are the founders behind the project. PGAV Destinations, the team behind Disney World’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, SeaWorld Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, and Discovery Cove in Orlando, Florida, will build the park.
The park will be anchored by the “Fountain of Youth,” which will feature a nightly laser and fireworks show celebrating the icons of American pop culture through the decades.
The park is being designed as a hybrid indoor-outdoor, multi-level park, complete with cooling measures to ensure a comfortable experience year-round.
The theme park has been in the works for seven years, according to Daniel Leo Jr.
When asked about the park’s timeline, Daniel Leo Jr. provided an update to potential visitors.
“We’re currently in active talks with land partners, the city/county and strategic partners,” he wrote. “It’s still too early to give an exact timeline, but updates will be shared as things progress.”
An opening date for the park has not been announced.
