The Friends Experience opened at MGM Grand in Las Vegas this month, providing fans of the hit television show a place to reminiscence in set re-creations as well as props and costumes.

"The One in Vegas" features versions of Phoebe's taxi and the wedding chapel used by Ross and Rachel. Sets also include Central Perk, Monica and Rachel's apartment, Joey and Chandler's apartment, the couch and stairwell from the "Pivot" scene and the fountain from the opening credits.

Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment, Original X Productions and Warner Bros. Television Group created the attraction that has appeared in 24 cities worldwide.

"As a city that holds a unique place in the show's story line and stands at the heart of global entertainment, Las Vegas is a natural home for our next flagship location," said Stacy Moscatelli, CEO of Original X Productions. "We're proud to bring this experience to the Strip and are committed to delivering something truly memorable for the millions of 'Friends' fans who visit each year."

A retail store has exclusive merchandise, including apparel and memorabilia. The attraction, which was originally planned to open last fall, is in the District at MGM Grand adjacent to Grand Garden Arena.

Tickets start at $45 (plus tax and fees).
