We did point out that the location on the ticket was not the correct address per their website. Hopefully they remedied this so others aren't wandering aimlessly in the neighborhood. I believe the two addresses were 875 and 865 Deming with 865 being correct. The staff were very nice and accommodating. We had a good chat with them while we waited. The scare actors did a good job of being creepy and scary. I believe their site says not recommended for under 8, please adhere to this. There was a parent with two children who were younger and certainly did not enjoy the experience. Poor children might be scarred for life. The labyrinth style haunted house had good scares and creepy thrills. Certainly don't way to give anything away, but I can say we enjoyed it even with the minor hiccups and delayed start. I could tell they put a lot of work into this haunted house. Also, the Final Hour sign looks very cool and is a newer piece we were told.

So much fun! We went on their first opening night of the season so they had some kinks to work out…read more We got started about 20 minutes late but it was worth it! There are 2 specific rooms that were really creepy to me, and I loved it. The woman at the front desk was so nice and made the wait pleasurable. Actors were pretty good and the decor was nice and creepy. It takes about 15 minutes or so to go through if you don't power walk. They also did a good job at sending groups through spaced out well so you didn't run into anyone else. Heads up: They do have to switch venues each year. The address on our ticket was wrong, but the address on the website is accurate.

One of the best haunted houses I've been in. It's the Perfect venue .. a prison!…read moreThey offered drinks alcohol and nonalcoholic beverages. Plenty of food options. They had a crepe food truck and they also sold homemade delicious Cookies and hotdogs. They had music , photo opportunities... We went through three different sections of the prison. It was fantastic! The props they used were incredible! The people were dressed morbid and I liked how they didn't chase you or touch you! It was scary! So many effects throughout the entire haunted house. Highly recommend!

I'm not sure how I haven't written reviews before, but this is the new and improved Dark Corner…read moreHaunt location! What used to be located in the National Bowling stadium is now only located at the old Carson City prison. It has been out of service for over a decade now, but this used to be the location of some executions. It is now open to the public for various tours and now this haunted house. Last year I went to the haunted prison and there were some really good scares. They played into the prison theme a lot but also came up with a jungle theme that turned out really good. There were 4 areas total where you had a small queue in-between each building. Different characters would dress up and spook you as you waited in line. Scare factor was fully there, and had me questioning my own senses. I love the one part where you're in total darkness and you have to feel around to make your way through. This is a small part of the whole experience, and it's something I look forward to after going to the old haunts at the bowling stadium. The location is incredible and really adds to the spookiness. I know a lot of hard work goes on behind the scenes from Holly, Dustin, and all the crew. It's a labor of love and it's really cool to see what they come up with every year. I really enjoyed the different photo ops before the haunt and the little games area before waiting in line. My only suggestion would be to ensure that enough staffing is present to help direct the lines around this area. If the queue was long but you also wanted to play games, it got a bit crowded and some people cut the line without knowing. Be sure to buy tickets in advance for your preferred date/ time, and happy haunting!!

I can't wait to get back to the Reno area again to see them and injoy the Christmas season.

My wife and I have been wanting to try out Slaughter House ever since moving to the area but for…read moreone reason or the other, it just never worked out. Finally, this last Halloween, we were able to make it work. Slaughter House is held at Greater Nevada Field, which is where the Reno Ace's play. They offer the usual Haunted House experience and a Haunted Train attraction (more on that later). Considering if you purchased both attractions together (and getting access to the faster line) it would be cheaper, we decided to go that route. Afterwards, we wish we just went with the Haunted House. We waited in line for around 30 minutes before getting into the House and all in all, it was alright. Sure, it had moments that made me jump and even freaked me out a bit, but all told it just wasn't that great. There's one portion of the House where you're forced to walk through a ball pit that features a "scary" Clown to add to the discomfort. Normally, there would be nothing wrong with that. But, what is wrong with it is my wife has a very bad ankle and it could be rolled very easily. There was no warning at all about having to walk through a ball pit where rolling your ankle wouldn't be too difficult. So considering I was highly annoyed by this and focused on making sure my Wife didn't get hurt, it took any and all "scare" out of this portion. To his credit, the actor playing the Clown picked up on this and backed off. That was cool of him. As soon as it started, it ended. I felt like there was no grand finale or anything like that, you just suddenly left the maze and that was that. Pretty flat if you ask me. Oh, and the first thing they do upon entering the Haunted House is take your picture along side a creepy actor. It's your usual tourist trap type thing with them pitching you to purchase said picture at the end. Full transparency though, I bought it. Lol. It actually turned out to be a good photo of me and there aren't very many of those. Lol. Now here's the portion of the review where things really take a turn for the worst. The Haunted Train. It was probably the saddest thing I've ever experienced. The train carts are stupid small and cramped (it became apparent to me at this point that kids were the primary target audience for this), they played music by the band "Disturbed" (probably its only redeeming quality), and they attempted to scare you while you passed by Coke a Cola and Hot Dog vendor carts. Super scary. They didn't even TRY to cover these. I was able to spot the scare actors coming a mile away. It just flat out sucked, ok? The little kids on the ride weren't even scared. They either need to completely revamp this or scrap it all together. Seriously bad. Don't bother wasting your hard earned money on this. So the reason for the 2 stars is the fact that the Haunted House (the main attraction) was just ok and had a flat ending, the Train ride sucked, and the fact that a female Security Guard (at the main line entrance) could be heard by all of us in line talking a whole mess of sh*t about customers. Now, I used to work in Customer Service and I hated every minute of it, so I completely understand how stupid and rude the general public can be. However, you NEVER talk about customers RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM. That's just asinine even to me. If you hate it, then do what I did. Go get a job where you don't have to deal with them. Problem solved. Also, all told, we spent north of $50 for the attractions and I'm sorry but for what you get, that's too much. It just wasn't worth the cost. So all told, there's a good chance that this was our first and final visit unless they make some big changes. We're more than likely going to opt to do something in Virginia City for Halloween this year. Then one upside to all this? Parking was free in the garage across the street. So there's that.

Then they only allow so many at a time to enter so you can have the full effects of interaction haunting.

Every night, they host "that's magic", which is a family, friendly illusion, and variety show, and then also on Friday and Saturday, they host their late show "nocturnal", which also has amazing illusions, as well as more adult humor, and some very beautiful dancers. Both are hosted by the husband and wife, duo of Chase and. Kayleigh. I saw the "nocturnal" show, and I loved it. . Chase is the MC, and he also does illusions from slieight of hand, to illusions such as cutting a woman from the audience in half without a box, and a great straitjacket, escape, ala, Harry Houdini. The jokes are fast and furious, and definitely adult oriented, there is a lot of interaction with the audience, and bringing audience members on stage. There's never a dull moment. The dancers are beautiful, and yes, a little provocative, but definitely not dirty. The show never slows down. It's a 90 minute show with a 15 minute intermission, and it's entertaining from the beginning until the end. The price for the show is very reasonable, but they get you with both the cocktails, and the snack bar for the theater. I bought a small thing of popcorn, and a 20 ounce soda, and I was out 16 bucks. That's a bit ridiculous. Other than that, the show was amazing. Thank you for a fantastic evening....

Well designed, lots of bars and bathrooms. It's easy to get in and out. Traffic flow is usually not too bad. They do have construction happening for the new arena, which means that parking at the GSR is limited, so be aware on show nights and come a bit early. The bar prices are semi-reasonable. They have beer, canned cocktails, and some wine choices. They also have light snacks for purchase, but no real food options. The primary challenge with this venue is the sound. It's just not great. The echoes are noticeable, and it's often way too loud in here. I always feel like I need my earplugs at this venue. Many reviews tell you how great their show was, and I think they are confusing the show quality with the venue quality. The shows here are great, but that doesn't have anything to do with the venue itself. If you are looking for a top-shelf auditory experience, you might want to consider seeing your show at another venue. If you're okay with some sound imperfections, the Grand Theatre is a perfectly fine venue.

Although their steam room wasn't available, I was able to take advantage of their sauna, coed spa room and a massage. The ambiance was beautifully decorated and they offered complementary snacks and tea as well as one beverage with champagne or a mimosa as an option.
