Oh. My. Gawd. The FRIENDS™ Experience will officially open its newest flagship location in Las Vegas at MGM Grand on July 23.

Created by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences, Original X Productions (OGX), and Warner Bros.

Exclusive to the MGM Grand location, guests can walk through the infamous wedding chapel doors – just like Ross and Rachel – and see a replica of Joey’s iconic gladiator costume from the Vegas episodes.
A FRIENDS retail space will feature exclusive merchandise for fans to take home a piece of the experience. From apparel to memorabilia, the store will offer must-have items for anyone wanting to remember their time at “The One in Vegas” — with even more surprises on the way as the space continues to roll out.
