By Nicholas Tamarin
With the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show coming to Las Vegas from February 25-27, it’s once again time to highlight the best new attractions to check out, the first in our series of stories in which we’ll also explore Sin City’s best restaurants and bars, hotels, and shopping destinations for 2025. North America’s largest trade show dedicated to all aspects of kitchen and bath design, KBIS is an inspiring and interactive event that showcases the industry’s latest products, trends, and technologies from hundreds of exhibitors.
Attendees are treated to an immersive experience with hands-on demonstrations, expert-led sessions, and an opportunity to network with the best minds in the industry. From stunning product reveals to insightful discussions, KBIS provides a dynamic platform where creativity meets functionality, making it an unmissable event for anyone passionate about transforming living spaces.
KBIS also allows attendees the opportunity to forge new design ideas at the latest spots bringing fresh energy to Las Vegas, an exciting destination for both first-timers and regular visitors looking for a mix of culture, excitement, and unique experiences. Here are the top five–not counting the Super Bowl at Allegiant Stadium on February 11.
1. MSG Sphere
The most talked-about new attraction in Vegas, The Sphere, designed by Populous at over 360 feet tall, is a massive, high-tech entertainment at the Venetian that seamlessly melds state-of-the-art immersive technology with live performances that invite visitors into a futuristic realm with mind-bending experiences. The world’s largest spherical structure contains the world’s largest high-resolution wraparound screen at 250 feet tall with 1.2 million LEDs. In addition to backing residencies by U2, Dead & Company, and the Eagles with awe-inspiring visuals, the screen provides a great diversity of entertainment, including at sports events, where each fan has internet access and individually-beamed sound at their seat.
2. Arte Museum
Arte Museum is an immersive digital art experience at 63 Las Vegas, a new entertainment complex on the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Harmon Avenue. The brand’s first exhibit has just arrived in the Western Hemisphere for the first time after drawing more than 6 million visitors to five Asian locations. The best of the futuristic presentations housed in the $25 million, two-story, 30,000-square-foot space just steps from the Las Vegas Strip is a digital beach with waves that roll under your feet while the Northern Lights glow overhead. Guests will also experience rooms with flowers, forestry, waterfalls, sunsets, and jungles. The Garden room is an animated art gallery featuring works by the likes of Leonardo Da Vinci, Claude Monet, and Gustav Klimt, and local imagery inspired by the Southwest desert and lights of Las Vegas.
3. CrashNBurn Skydiving Bar
The Crash N Burn rooftop bar and restaurant in Fremont’s Neonopolis offers what it calls “the world’s first rooftop open-air skydiving experience.” Aero Vegas will launch flyers from above the roof and, similar to indoor skydiving, they’ll hover over an open-air wind tunnel, while facing out over downtown Las Vegas. You can also zip line down Fremont Street or duckpin bowl and play vintage video and lawn games throughout the 14,000-square-foot indoor and outdoor venue. Along with a 300-foot-long bar, the restaurant serves burgers, flatbreads, loaded nachos, and a bread pudding dessert.
4. Particle Ink: House of Shattered Prisms
Immerse yourself in an animated movie come to life with Particle Ink: House of Shattered Prisms at the Luxor hotel. This new mixed-reality experience brings an innovative take on the immersive show genre as guests are led through a multi-room storytelling journey. Along the way you’ll encounter stunning live performances surrounded by magical technical features. The story unfolds all around you with multiple rooms to explore and secrets to uncover–you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a living graphic novel. Experience jaw-dropping live performances, acrobatics, and cutting-edge technology seamlessly woven together in a 75-minute visual extravaganza.
5. Swingers Crazy Golf
This England-based complex will tee off on November 8 with four golf courses throughout its nostalgic carnival grounds. The new 40,000-square-foot Swingers on the Las Vegas Strip will also feature multiple bars for ordering food and drink, an arcade space, and interactive elements including an English country estate. The courses are themed to a clocktower, a hot air balloon, a carousel, and a meteorite, with obstacles including windmills, waterwheels, and carousels. Cocktails will be delivered by caddie or available at the parasol-covered sunken garden lounge, the estate bar that runs the entirety of the venue, or two more bars upstairs.
