📖 THE STORY

"Vegas baby! What a night in Sin City! What the hell happened last night? What time is our flight? I think we need to hurry! But something's wrong in our room! And who is this Mr. Chow, anyway?"

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

The first thing that hits you is just how authentic this room feels. As the owner later shared, every major piece of furniture — from the bed and desk to the sink, TV, and even the phone — was salvaged from a real Marriott hotel via auction. That genuine hotel-room vibe elevates the immersion far beyond the norm. The in-room TV cycles through actual hotel channels, and yes, the mini-fridge is stocked — a fun, cheeky touch that blurs the line between fiction and reality.
One of the other areas of realism which really made this game stand out, was small, but spoke volumes to the level of care installed in the room’s creation; when you open the curtains the lights go on, as if the sunshine from the Vegas Strip is itself pouring in. Likewise, whenever you close them, the lights once more go out. This was such a cool effect that I’ve never seen in an escape room before and would I’d be happy to see others copy.
This room doesn’t just look great — it’s packed with puzzles. From basic item searches to more involved tasks like building a light maze or cracking the elevator system, the game offers both breadth and depth. Many puzzles cleverly use objects from the environment, reinforcing the realism and making this easily the company’s strongest room yet.
The implementation of the story was another highlight. Just when we thought the room was finished and we’d escaped, there was a twist, and more puzzles showed themselves to us. We had not escaped yet! It’s always frustrating to suddenly finish an escape room abruptly, expecting more to unfold. So in this case, it was welcomed to find the opposite, a game that offers more than what would have been expected of it.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

There’s not much to critique here, but if we had to pick something, we’d like to see more team-based challenges. While there is at least one moment that encourages cooperation, most puzzles are solo-friendly and could benefit from more collaborative elements to get the whole group working together.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

Absolutely. Whether you’re a fan of The Hangover or just looking for a fun, high-quality escape room, this one delivers. It doesn’t take itself too seriously — and that’s part of its charm — but the level of detail and care poured into its design makes it stand out among its peers. Come ready to laugh, think, and maybe question what you did last night in Vegas.
