Transfix, a misguided interactive extravaganza renting space from Resorts World has closed. Transfix actually closed two months ago, but we’re only learning about some of the behind-the-scenes drama now.<\/p>\n

The attraction looked terrible, so it’s no surprise it closed, but the behind-the-scenes chaos makes this story newsworthy.<\/p>\n

Another attraction, the holiday-themed Enchant, is also done at Resorts World. Not as much drama, but nobody’s perfect.<\/p>\n

Transfix featured Marco Cochrane’s beautiful R-Evolution, the sister work of Bliss Dance at The Park. It didn’t help.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Transfix opened in April 2023, accompanied by optimism untethered from reality. Not uncommon Las Vegas, of course.<\/p>\n

The news release<\/a> said, “Transfix, the world’s largest touring immersive art experience, is pleased to announce its inaugural edition, launching this April on the Las Vegas Strip at Resorts World Las Vegas. Transfix will present over 50 interactive, kinetic, illuminated and fire-breathing artworks by international artists across a 200,000 square-foot multi-level venue. Transfix will open to the public on April 21, 2023, and will run through Fall 2023. Following its Las Vegas residency, Transfix will roll out globally, with plans to tour across major US cities and abroad.”<\/p>\n

Now, not so much.<\/p>\n

Transfix ran for six weeks, and organizers say they’re going to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Resorts World officials haven’t officially commented on the disastrous offering, but we’ll take a stab at it, “We had high expectations for Transfix, but ultimately, we rented out some space, so don’t drag us into this mess.”<\/p>\n

The completely predictable closure of an uninspired attraction isn’t all that interesting until you dig further. And by that we mean Reddit.<\/p>\n

Anyone know why Transfix at Resorts World was closed last night?<\/a>
