LONDON: Immotion Group, the UK-based immersive entertainment group, announced that with effect from 1 May 2021, the Las Vegas Strip, home to Immotion Group’s flagship VR Theatre installation, ‘Undersea Explorer’ at Shark Reef Aquarium (Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino), will be allowed to expand all attractions from 50% to 80% capacity per the local Clark County Commissioner.
In addition, the Nevada State Governor has declared his intention to open the entire State of Nevada back to 100% capacity on 1 June 2021.
This will be the first time that Immotion’s 36-seat ‘Undersea Explorer’ Virtual Theatre has had the opportunity to raise its capacity beyond the 50% level since its opening in August 2020, so the potential increase in revenue from 1 May 2021 and through the summer months could be material.
Group Commercial Director, Rod Findley, said: “With the pandemic’s impact on our business on the wane, especially in the US, we had always hoped for a good summer for our Las Vegas venue, but with the County and State’s proactive moves on re-opening over the past weeks, we believe we will have the conditions in place for a very strong bounce-back.”
