Monster Mayhem
This one-of-a-kind haunted village, housed either at the Orleans Arena or the Town Square Mall (depending on the year), is actually a complex of three to seven houses that change from year to year, but in the past have included a meathouse, a castle, a hotel, mansion, jailhouse, crematorium and the morbid clown manor. The houses include fog-filled rooms, live actors and tons of special effects. A graveyard sits among the houses and allows visitors a chance to be scared by the ghouls walking around. Monster Mayhem runs from the second Friday of October until the 31st, 7 p.m. to midnight, every day of the week.

Fright Dome at Circus Circus
Adventure Dome is a large entertainment complex and indoor amusement park located within Circus Circus Hotel and Casino. While the park has lots of thrills year round, the real frights can be experienced in October, when AdventureDome becomes Fright Dome for the entire month leading up to Halloween. The 5 acre complex offers costumed actors, sound and visual effects, fog and a freak show. The rides are adapted to be even more scary than usual and most are in complete darkness, just to add to the chaos. Haunted houses are set up for the month and stun shows are carried out throughout the day.
