“Do you remember the one where ...” If you’ve heard those words before (the ones fans of a certain ’90s megahit show use to identify their favorite episodes), you’ll be thrilled to know The FRIENDS™ Experience has opened in Las Vegas.
This interactive exhibit is a bit of a cross between a museum and a television studio set. You’ve probably got the iconic opening sequence to the much-beloved sitcom etched in your brain—the fountain, the couch, the lamp, the dancing—and that’s the first thing you’ll see as you enter. Plop down and re-create the scene as you take some sweet pics or selfies.
Other locales are often tied to specific episodes, like “The One in Vegas,” where the gang heads to a classic Sin City chapel. You’ll also find the hall outside Monica’s and Rachel’s apartment (where the infamous cheesecake scene took place). The women’s living room is there in all of its unbelievable expansiveness, with a spot-on replica of Monica’s kitchen and a sweet balcony outside. Hit up Joey and Chandler’s apartment, where the chairs live in all their glory.
Along the way, you’ll see costumes, a timeline of dating scenarios, graphics and a wealth of details and trivia, like how many cups of coffee each member drank at Central Perk during the run. Speaking of Central Perk, that’s where you’ll end up, an impressive re-creation of the set (even Phoebe’s guitar is here).
