A pop-up cocktail experience called \u201cThe Alice\u201d will usher Las Vegas down the rabbit hole from Sept. 28 through Nov. 27, according to the organizer Hidden Media Network website. The location is marked \u201csecret\u201d for now because, of course, it is.<\/p>\n

Based on the classic children’s novel by Lewis Carroll,\u00a0 \u201cThe Alice\u201d is described by Hidden\u2019s website as a 90-minute \u201ctea party to end all tea parties\u201d designed to transport guests into an alternate reality of talking animals and magic mushrooms.<\/p>\n

\n

Activities inside its giant tent, according to the website, will include creating and sampling two bespoke Wonderland cocktails under the watchful eye of The Mad Hatter, solving riddles and challenges \u201cjust like Alice,\u201d painting roses red, snacking on \u201ceat me\u201d cookies, \u201cand much, much more.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hidden Media, which describes itself as \u201ca marketplace for all the most exciting live and virtual experiences in your city,\u201d is based in Australia, where it has established three permanent homes for “The Alice\u201d: in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. In America, \u201cThe Alice\u201d has previously visited Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Charlotte, Minneapolis, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Seattle, and Vancouver.<\/p>\n

Not Everything Is As It Seems<\/h2>\n

Hidden\u2019s website boasts rave reviews from visitors Holly C. and Lauren W., whose review claims: \u201cSuch a fun time, the staff were hilarious and never broke character. The cocktails were delicious and the games were great.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, a September 2021 article in Pittsburgh City Paper<\/em> noted that \u201cThe Alice\u201d generated several complaints during its residency there.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some former guests claimed that events did not follow COVID-19 safety protocols, cramming 25 mask-less people in quarters too close to socially distance. Other complained that the show left ticketholders without a location until a day before the event.<\/p>\n

Tripping Las Vegas<\/h2>\n

Despite being gaming-free, these so-called immersive alternate reality experiences have played well in Las Vegas. That’s since the massive entertainment zone Area 15 opened near the Las Vegas Strip in September 2020.<\/p>\n

Inside what appears to be a ordinary warehouse, trippy universes reveal themselves, as users wander through Area 15’s Wink World, Museum Fiasco, and Lost Spirits, a dreamlike amusement park distillery described by Wired<\/em>\u00a0magazine as \u201cDisneyland for liquor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Area 15’s main attraction, though, is the experience created New Mexico-based artist collective Meow Wolf. Omega Mart ushers guests through what appears to be a supermarket. Then, through the beverage cooler door, they pass through multiple warped Narnia-esque situations, as a zipline encircles overhead.<\/p>\n

Hidden\u2019s website advertises several future Las Vegas pop-up bar experiences, including the \u201cBeauty and the Beast Cocktail Experience\u201d from Aug. 31, 2022, to Jan. 1, 2023, and the witch-themed \u201cWizard\u2019s Brunch\u201d from Sept. 1, 2022, to April 30, 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tickets for \u201cThe Alice\u201d are $47 through explorehidden.com. An all-ages, alcohol-free daytime version of the experience will be offered throughout its run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
