Hollywood in Vegas: 7 attractions to get your movie, TV fix

With the Jan. 1 closing of Marvel’s Avengers STATION, which showcased props and costumes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Las Vegas lost a solid link to Hollywood.

But fear not. There are still numerous ways to soak in the vibes of movies and television without leaving the valley.

Here are seven:

The Hunger Games: The Exhibition: From the company behind Marvel’s Avengers STATION, this interactive attraction offers visitors a taste of Panem with props and costumes from the movie franchise, as well as an archery training experience, inside the MGM Grand.

Hollywood Cars Museum: Some of the more than 1,000 vehicles owned by real estate developer Michael Dezer — including cars from the “Fast and the Furious” franchise, a Batmobile and one of the Lotus Esprit submarine cars from “The Spy Who Loved Me” — are on display at 5115 Dean Martin Drive.

The Movie Prop Experience: Props and costumes from some of your favorite movies and TV shows are on display inside this attraction at Neonopolis.

Madame Tussauds: You can take photos with The Rock and heroes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and, if you’re at least 21, have a drink at The Hangover Bar, complete with a wax figure of Zach Galifianakis’ Alan, at The Venetian.

Escape rooms: Actors, animatronics and movie props combine to bring the Losers’ Clubhouse, the Neibolt House, the sewers below Derry and other locations to life at Escape IT, 273 S. Martin Luther King Blvd. The Jigsaw killer and his disciples terrorize guests with an elaborate game of puzzles during an after-hours tour of the Egan & Co. Meat Packing plant in The Official Saw Escape, 2121 Industrial Road. And, starting at the Burkittsville Ranger’s Station, players search for clues about the disappearances of local college students in Escape Blair Witch, also at 2121 Industrial Road.

Coyote Ugly Saloon: They’re still dancing on the bar, more than 23 years after the titular movie, inside New York-New York.

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.: Step into the world of “Forrest Gump” and dine on the likes of Lt. Dan’s Pork Ribs & Shrimp, Jenny’s Salmon & Shrimp and, of course, the Box O’ Chocolates for dessert, at 3717 Las Vegas Blvd. South.
