AREA15, parallel to the Las Vegas Strip, announces the return of its mysteriously frightening Halloween Massive on Friday, Oct. 31. ScAREA15: Strange Circus will transform AREA15 into a multi-venue twisted big top filled with bone-rattling beats and sinister surprises.

Headlining the night, in the pulse-pounding hub of experiential art and entertainment, is internationally renowned DJ and producer Valentino Khan, who will bring his high-energy performance, KHAN-O-WEEN, to AREA15. Supporting entertainment includes Bodies & Beats inside The Wall, a collaboration between Twisted Promotions x RaveHouse Entertainment inside The Portal and more.

"Strange Circus will immerse guests in an eerie and dazzling world where music, performance and spectacle collide. From Valentino Khan's electrifying KHAN-O-WEEN to spooky sideshow-inspired surprises around every corner, it's a Halloween experience you can only find at AREA15." 

After SCAREA15, guests can keep the night alive at Oddyssey Noir, a warehouse-style rave that plunges partygoers into a surreal underworld of deep techno and house beats, avant-garde art and unexpected moments. Guests can explore nine bizarre, themed rooms, relax in cuddle puddles and uncover pop-up oddities.
