Las Vegas couldn’t come to the mountain, so Paramount brought the mountain to Las Vegas.
The snow-capped peak that’s taken over the Mirage volcano, a tribute to the Paramount logo, is just for looks. But it serves as advance advertising, and a bit of a mood enhancement, for “Expedition Vegas.”
The free four-day experience celebrates some of the most popular television shows in the Paramount library, with challenges, photo-ops, a motion simulator and swag. It’s all leading up to coverage of the Super Bowl, which can be seen on CBS and Paramount+. A special slime-filled presentation will air on Nickelodeon.
As seen during Wednesday’s preview party at the massive attraction in front of The Mirage, guests can:
• Experience a simulated gondola ride narrated by Jim Nance and Tony Romo.
• See costumes and props from the Paramount+ shows “Star Trek: Discovery” and “Halo.”
• Solve puzzles like those in “Survivor” and MTV’s “The Challenge.”
• Enjoy a Nickelodeon kids’ zone.
• Relax in a spa suite from “Tyler Perry’s Sistas.”
• Sing in a karaoke bar tied to the CBS drama “Fire Country.”
• Look for apparitions in a re-creation of the Woodstone B&B from the CBS comedy “Ghosts.”
• Take part in photo-ops for “South Park,” “Yellowstone” and its prequel “1923,” and the upcoming movie “Bob Marley: One Love.”
• And kick a soccer ball at targets to represent coverage of the UEFA Champions League.
Paramount’s “Expedition Vegas” is open 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Sunday.
