Is a New ‘Hangover Experience’ Coming to Las Vegas?

Ever wake up in a trashed Caesars Palace suite with no memory of the previous night, a tooth missing and Mike Tyson’s tiger chasing you? According to some very flimsy evidence, Warner Bros. is gauging audience interest in a “Hangover Experience.” The 65-minute immersive attraction would bring five scenes from the 2009 comedy hit to life a la “The Friends Experience.”
This story begins with a claim posted to the show notes page for a Disney fan podcast. On July 14, “Disney Dish” reposted an email from Kyle, a listener who claimed to have received a survey from Warner Bros. Entertainment.
The survey supposedly asked how interested he would be in several potential immersive experiences. One was based on “The Hangover.”
Kyle’s email included illustrations of four of the five sets, along with captions.
The first set is the pre-roofie presidential suite, though Caesars Palace is not named. A trap door in the bedroom leads to the second set — a rooftop surrounded by a 360-degree projection of the Las Vegas night skyline.
Here, “you take a life changing tequila shot as a group, and suddenly everything changes.”
The rooftop set turns into the middle of the Mojave Desert, where a blacked-out SUV appears and “a naked Mr. Chow bursts out of the car demanding his money.”
The next set is accessed by climbing into the trunk, as directed to by Mr. Chow. Here is hidden a slide that whisks you into a strip club, where someone in your group ends up marrying one of the dancers.
In the penultimate set, an elevator opens into Mike Tyson’s mansion, where “you’re shown an AI recording of you and your friends drunkenly stealing from his house all the items you have just pawned.”
A “mountain sized bodyguard” then sets “an animatronic tiger” after you, “which chases you down a hallway.” That hallway leads to the final set — the now-trashed penthouse suite, where you can party with others who have just completed the same adventure.
Did we mention that the evidence for this was very flimsy?

We find it difficult to believe that a multibillion-dollar media corporation would be good with an immersive attraction that simulates not only a strip club, but being roofied and attacked by a naked man.
Nor would its stockholders be overjoyed with a final scene that features a party where Marilyn Monroe fights a “drag Liza Minelli” as two other naked guys mud-wrestle in a bathtub.
We also find it difficult to believe that the rights-holders to the movie would confuse a tequila shot for a Jägermeister shot. And, as an added red flag, the Mike Tyson illustration misspells boxing memorabilia as “buxing.”
In the almost impossible event that the survey isn’t a hoax, it could have come from a live-entertainment company that pitches experiences to movie studios, seeking to back them up with in-house research.
But none of this screams Warner Bros. in any way to us. Honestly, this whole thing smells like young Kyle trying to pull a fast one on the world, perhaps to try and land his first illustrating job out of art school.
Nevertheless, the survey was already discussed last week by both the “Miles to Memories Vegas” and “Five Hundy by Midnight” podcasts, neither of which seriously doubted its authenticity, which is why you’re reading about it here.
Assuming we’re wrong and this proposal is legit and gets green-lighted, there’s already a “Hangover Experience” display at Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum at the Venetian. So either that would need rebranding or the new experience would have to come up with a different name.
Good luck landing that first job, Kyle!
