Friends Scores in Vegas With an Epic 25th Anniversary Celebration October 18-19 with AT&T 5G and MGM Resorts
(September 12, 2019 Burbank, CA & Las Vegas, NV) Fly, drive, take a train, or even a cross-country road trip via taxi (like Phoebe & Joey in her Yellow Cab) to Las Vegas for a one-of-a-kind Friends 25th Anniversary celebration in the Entertainment Capital of the World, October 18 19. Warner Bros. Television Group joins AT&T and MGM Resorts International to offer fans a phenomenal Friends 25th Vegas takeover in all its glory, including new fan experiences powered by AT&T 5G.
In the fifth and sixth seasons of the hit comedy series, the Friends gang headed west to Las Vegas to visit Joey on the set of his movie. What happened there 10 years ago, however, did not stay there. In the two-part season five finale, Monica and Chandler took a roll of the dice and impulsively decided to get married only to discover that they were beaten to the chapel by a very drunk Ross and Rachel. In the season six premiere, the gang faced the consequences of the night before, while Joey and Phoebe headed back to New York in her grandfathers Yellow Cab.
Visitors to Las Vegas can relive some of those moments minus any last-minute weddings in a weekend celebration of all things Friends from October 18 19. Experiences planned for the Friends in Vegas weekend include:
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18
The Fountains of Bellagio
Ill be there for you, when the rain starts to pour... On Friday, Oct. 18, the iconic Fountains of Bellagio will unveil a brand-new show set to the catchy Friends theme song, Ill Be There For You by The Rembrandts. Created by WET Design, the show will debut at sunset on Friday and run on rotation throughout the weekend and beyond. There will also be exclusive photo opps with the Central Perk couch, which will be on site in front of The Fountains.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19
AT&T 5G Friends Fan Experience at The Brooklyn Bridge, New York-New York
AT&T is bringing Friends to life in brand new ways, giving fans opportunities to interact with their six favorite friends in a massive and immersive custom-built experience thats more 2019 than 1994 but not without nostalgia! The Fan Experience includes:
Phoebes Yellow Cab Escape Room
Its like youre always stuck in second gear... But for Friends fans, this will not only be their day, their week, their month, but also their year! Located outside the New York-New York Hotel & Casino, Phoebes Yellow Cab Escape Room offers the challenge of an escape room with the fun of a Friends trivia game, in a fully operational taxicab. Parked where else? on the Brooklyn Bridge, the Friends Escape Room allows fans to test their knowledge of the series inside Phoebes iconic mode of transportation.
Heres a sample to get you started: Which of the following is not true? A. Phoebe inherited the cab from her grandfather. B. Ross named it the Death Cab because of Phoebes driving abilities. C. Princess Consuela Banana-Hammock also owns the vehicle. D. None of the above. If you guessed D, youre a natural. Head to Vegas to try your luck!
Central Perk LEGO
Go big...or go home! At nearly 700 square feet, this re-creation of one of the series signature sets will be on display exclusively at New York-New York. Built out of 900,000 LEGO bricks over a period of four months, this life-sized re-creation from acclaimed artist Nathan Sawaya features everything from the iconic sofa to the latest menu board.
Fun Facts: No one has ever built a life-sized TV set out of LEGO bricks before. Although the creators binge-watched every season of Friends, it took them longer to build the set than to watch the series. The furniture is all fully functional allowing visitors to sit on the couches and chairs. The signature orange couch took the longest time to build as the most challenging part of the process was replicating the patterns in the upholstery.
A miniature version of the LEGO Central Perk set is now available at retailers nationwide.
Many of the experiences will be powered by AT&Ts live 5G network and its 5G Innovation Program members, including Ericssons 5G network equipment, Nokia network infrastructure, and Samsung Galaxy S10 5G smartphones.
The 7th Friend Experience
Fans can record a 3D version of themselves doing Chandlers happy dance or their own favorite move. Using AT&Ts 5G with Ericssons 5G network equipment, fans can drop their virtual twin into a miniature replica of Monica and Rachels apartment. This experience uses data-intensive volumetric video to put you in the center of the action, which can be viewed on Samsung tablets and the Galaxy S10 5G.
Performance by The Rembrandts
Ill be there for you, like Ive been there before... The Rembrandts will perform an exclusive live set at The Park, the immersive outdoor dining and entertainment district located adjacent to New York-New York. Famous for their iconic theme song, the musical duo will be on hand to perform their hits and other Friends -related songs. The concert will also be livestreamed over AT&T 5G with Nokia to a big screen onsite to make sure you have the perfect view as you belt out those memorable lyrics.
Give it Your Best
What better way to celebrate Friends in Las Vegas than with a Friends -themed karaoke booth where fans can sing along to iconic music from the show.
Marcel!
Also in the neighborhood, keep an eye out for Marcel, Rosss onetime pet Capuchin monkey. Although Marcel has gone on to a successful film career with Jean-Claude Van Damme and more, hell be on hand to meet and greet fans. Autographs are discouraged.
Friends in 4K & Download Station
The show first aired in 1994 using 35mm film, but has since been remastered in Ultra HD quality. Thanks
